Worst part. I know nothing will be done about this.

I thought the Sioux stopped taking scalps?

I wonder what % Kraft receives from this latest scam.

You better believe it.

At the Super Bowls the scalpers are thick as flies selling tickets after a certain point when internet traffic slows down. StubHub has people working the streets too.

The Seahawks Super Bowl was the biggest screw job ever. I spoke to Pats fans who bought tickets to be picked up in Phoenix for $3000. They booked flights and hotels and cars. When they got to Phoenix the seller had no tickets. Because Seahawks fans were paying $9000 for the same ticket. The sellers gave back the money to Pats fans plus a grand and still cut a fat hog at 9K.

Day of the game this Seattle lady paid $24,000 each for 2 ticket for her and son. They were not 50 yard line either.

"Hello, Krafts ticket and travel. How may I help you?"
