The War Against Scalpers
The Times had an interesting article yesterday about the growing action against ticket resellers. Not specifically the shady looking characters outside of stadiums or concert halls. No, politicians are now looking for ways to take legal action against the companies like StubHub that use technology to buy large numbers of tickets (read: almost all) within the first few minutes of going on sale and then resell them at twice the price.
I for one would like to see this work. I don’t like paying $150 for a $50 ticket to see an NFL game.
