Lou PagliaRyanair Tries To Defend Canceling Tickets Bought On Third Party Sites
but it is a pretty intuitive move if you look at this like ticket scalping. The surplus is being taken above what you are commanding in the marketplace but you don't want to raise prices for everyone.
What I don't agree with is if RyanAir did this with no notification. They should be dealing with this in a business-to-business manner if they do not want their tickets re-sold. The consumers shouldn't be punished unless they have notified all of this in clear advance.
