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? |

I'm personally against ticket scalping. There is that risk of people scamming you, cheating you, all those things. Plus, who would you trust more? The local Ticketmaster or some 12 year-old punk looking to get a quick buck?

The local Ticketmaster or some 12 year-old punk looking to get a quick buck?  You have a point there, but isn't it your fault if you decide to fall for that scam? And what if he's not scamming you at all? It's one's right to resell his own item that he possesses and there's nothing illegal about that unless it's counterfeit. I'm for "ticket scalping". I mean, if you have a ticket to a concert that you paid 95 dollars for and then you suddenly find out that you have an important meeting on that same day, why not resell it to someone else and not let it go to waste? It's perfectly fine in my opinion. |
