NYCScammer -- I wasn't suggesting that anyone sell over face value, it just seemed like the police were just going after such scalpers (as they should be). I was more concerned about it being illegal at any price, including below cost.
In Atlanta, it's actually legal to sell at any price, including way above face value. However, it is ABSOLUTELY illegal to sell tickets, even below face, within a certain distance of the venue or a ticketmaster outlet (like 2,000 or 3,000 feet). I was just wondering whether there were similar laws in NYC.
And if your questions were aimed at me, I wasn't cited or arrested or anything last year for scalping. It was just obvious that it was an undercover cop, so it must be illegal at some point. Just curious what that threshhold is (in case it's below face).
