Sox vs. Scalpers

Looks like the Boston Red Sox are getting tough on scalpers.

According to the Boston Globe, "Ron Bumgarner, Red Sox vice president of ticketing, said yesterday the team is preparing to revoke the seats of at least three and as many as five season ticket holders caught reselling their tickets online. The exact number will depend on the outcome of the team's investigation, he said... The Red Sox have talked tough in the past, but the team has rarely revoked the seats of season ticket holders. The Sox have always paid for a Boston Police detail at Red Sox games, but that detail has shown little interest in recent years in enforcing the state's antiscalping law, which requires people in the business of reselling tickets to be licensed by the state and to charge no more than $2 above face value plus service and business expenses."

Re: Sox vs. Scalpers

$2 above face-value? There is no way anybody would listen to that, unless they like a $2 profit.

I don't know why people buy from scalpers, though.
