Stop legalizing online ticket scalping
The Issue
Too many fans are charged high premiums for buying tickets to concert or sporting events from websites such as StubHub! This practice has stopped many fans from being able to see all of the events that they would like to attend due to inflated pricing. It is illegal for scalpers to stand outside of venues to sell tickets and it should be illegal for people to buy the majority of tickets for an event and sell it for a profit with no added value to the consumer.
Ticket Scalper
noun
def: an unauthorized ticket speculator who buys tickets to a performance or sports event and resells them at inflated prices.
