I agree with ending the ban. A ticket is a commodity or an investment just like any other. Why not let the free market reign?

If the prices are too high nobody will buy the tickets.

The government should have their budget cut in half and the empire builders sent home.

Ticker resellers who buy large blocks of tickets with the sole intent of jacking up the prices are the problem, but I see their lobbyists have done their job well.

The issuer of the ticket should have the right to forbid the scalping. But if he doesn’t forbid it, then neither should the government.

Indiana has allowed scalping for many many years. We haven't fallen apart yet.

(The NCAA did require an exception for the March Madness Tournament in Indy since we host it pretty often.)

Involving government in price-fixing is like involving cookie monster in your Girl Scout cookie sales. It can never end well.
