Should ticket scalping be legal or illegal? In some states it's legal but in others it isn't. Some are trying to get it legalized.
(In case you don't know, ticket scalping is the resale of a ticket purchased for an event, often at a profit.) Personally, I don't see a problem with it. If the ticket was already purchased previously, then the profit was made for that company. They bought the ticket, it's theirs. So if they're going to sell it for more money, that's their choice. What do you guys think? |

What an interesting topic!
I totally agree with you. If the people issuing the ticket deem it worth a certain amount of money and X number of people are willing to pay that, then, if the tickets are in so high of a demand and someone wants to sell their ticket, it is legally their property and they ought to be able to do with it as they please Burn it, eat it, use it, sell it. Letting the government tell us what we can and can't do with our property is ridiculous, whether it's something as small as a ticket, or as large as our home and land. If the companies issuing the tickets don't like it, then they ought to hike the prices or issue more tickets, otherwise, shut up.
