I agree, I guess. But why can sports entities restrict the resale of tickets from someone who legitimately bought them?
It’s a good question. I think sports teams covered themselves legally by including a stipulation in their “Terms & Conditions” at the initial point of purchase. It might even be in the fine print on the back of each ticket.
Thats a good question. I guess each state can have its own laws, but my best understanding is that it is not necessarily illegal to scalp tickets, just that you may not be able to do it within a certain distance of the event, to avoid undercutting the event ticket office. Also, some concern about the selling of counterfeit tickets, I guess. But beyond that, I dont think reselling a ticket is illegal, though if you buy a ticket that is ‘non-transferable’ then selling it to someone else may be another legal issue.
