How is it legal to sell concert tickets above original price?
January 27th, 2009 | by admin |myyahooanswersaccount1184 asked:
I am trying to find tickets for a concert that went on sale two days ago for a show in about 3 months. All that is left from the venue are really crappy seats. Sights like eBay, Stubhub, and Ticketmaster’s ticketexchange are selling dozens of tickets with the cheapest being about 4 times the original price, and going up to 10 times the price. This isn’t legal outside the venue, why is it legal online?

Scalping laws are local laws, so they can’t be inforced online.
