Make "Scalping" Illegal

The Issue

The act of scalping is when concert tickets are bought, with the intent of making money, and sold many times their face value. This practice makes it costly for fans to enjoy the event and ruins the experience for everyone. We are asking state legislatures to make selling tickets at higher than face value (including service fees) illegal. This legislation must be passed on a local level before it can be brought to national attention. End Scalping now!

I am not sure why your note about scalping was sent to me. It appears you are writing to the DC Council; I am a Maryland legislator. You may want to contact Change.org so that they make sure your opinions are sent to the right people. Best, Sam Arora
