Why Is Ticket Scalping Illegal?

Over the last year, the Boston Globe has run a series of articles highlighting the sins of ticket scalping…oh those evil ticket brokers. The Globe’s latest article mentions that the Boston police are going to start aggressively enforcing Massachusetts’ 1924 anti-scalping law that requires resellers to be licensed by the state and limits resale prices to no more than $2 above the ticket’s face value. Additionally, citizens are taking ticket brokers to court over accusations of violating this 1924 law. C’mon…what’s the big deal about ticket scalping?

Tell me this, what other product in the United States does the government feel compelled to get involved with regulating its resale price? Virtually any product I buy, I can resell on eBay for whatever price I choose. The only exception I can think of is after natural disasters, some states have anti-gouging laws on essential products like food and water, which seems reasonable. But let’s face it, I think we all can agree that not attending a Red Sox game or “The Police” concert hardly qualifies as life threatening.
