Is that done anywhere else?

this sounds like something you should really be posting in zoo confesh Martha.
Cigar said:I know very well that scalping was in full force before the internet days.Camping outside the venues,paying homeless people to stay in line and keeping the scalpers places...i know all that.But by eleminating the "EBAY" scalpers it would erase a huge part of them..specialy the ,what i call "Out of town" scalpers..(L.A. scalpers getting tickets for ,let say, east cost cities shows,for instance.
And if you do what the local promoters do here in Montreal,(don't know if it's done else where),but you can have the lottery system,which is a week before tickets go on sale,fans are asked to go to the arena/stadium outlets,get a wristband with a number ,and on the day that tickets got on sale,they do a draw of a number.Let's they have give away 2000 wristbands and that number 133 is draw from the hat,then the next one in line is 134,135,136 ect..
all the way to 2000 and then going back to number 1 to 133.it works very well and it does discourage the scalpers for trying by the draw of the luck.

It's already illegal in many states, and it still goes on. The only way to stop any sale of anything is for people not to buy what's being sold. As long as there's a market for the product, it will be sold whether it's legal or not.

Well I meant brokers, they are the real issue for they have the resources, and for the most part they are legal.
martha said:
Yeah, but making them illegal will only dent the problem. Biting the bullet and not buying from them will go farther.
