Is scalping tickets and hotel reservations illegal?
scalping tickets is actually perfectly legal unless you sell them for over face value. This is when it becomes illegal. If you have tickets to a sold out event and tickets are in high demand, thus people would be willing to pay a lot more than face value. The only way to get caught is if you sell them to an undercover cop. Depending on your area, it is rare that police will waist there time, having undercovers trying to buy scalped tickets.
