Excuse me, but nobody is stealing anything. That's a load of crap and you know it.
That is a horrible analogy and the situation you gave has nothing to do with what is going on. Your analogy is so horrible that it cannot even be addressed logically.
I am not a season ticket holder, but if I was then I have bought the tickets legally from the team who determined the price they would sell them to me. If I decide to re-sell those tickets at a profit through StubHub, then that's just the capitalistic society within which we live. I am not selling forged tickets, I haven't stolen them from anyone and nobody is forced to pay my asking price. Furthermore, we are talking about a luxury good... we are not talking about heating oil or medicine or bottled water during a hurricane.
Please tell me why I can wait in line for 48 hours to buy a PS3 for $600 and turn around and sell it for $2,000 and that's perfectly fine, but I can't do the same with tickets to a football game. If I buy a $500 Tom Brady football card and he wins 3 more Super Bowls, I can turn around and sell it for $1,000 and that's perfectly fine. Please explain to me why you think football tickets are so special that they get their own laws.
Good try Quigon ... you need to brush up on your law. Tickets are permission to watch a game ... legally you only own permission and the ticket says that permission can be revoked at any time. You have no legal right ro sell that permission ... only they do. ticketmaster can do it because they have an agreement with the NFL...they pay for the permission to sell the permission.
