You never went to a concert, right? It's totally normal that there are people in front of the venue who sell tickets cuz the other party couldn't come. It's also totally normal to talk to people who are waiting if they have tickets they want to sell. It's called conversation and has nothing to do with shame.

dude, at this point we just have to agree that this might be a cultural barrier cause no way i will ever think that it is LOGICAL to come up to someone (whether you know them, you don’t, you partially know them or your mother knows them) and just go “hey, you don’t need those tickets anyway right? just sell it to us! come on!" when they’re so visibly hesitant (which he was in this case/chapter) about it like that’s just rude to me i’m so sorry like read the room
why are these people just casually asking for tickets like that? what happened to shame??? even if they want to buy it at a significantly higher price but it's still mannerless to just ask for somebody's possessions like that… many will feel pressured and end up giving away their stuffs unwillingly just to avoid saying no and potential confrontation… smh i really hate it when people put others in a tight spot like this it’s so mannerless and stupid
