Ticket scalpers of Minnesota, rejoice!
Filed under: Tickets
Good news for anyone who's ever had to furtively buy (or sell) tickets on the street as if participating in a drug deal: Minnesota legislators have legalized ticket scalping. Passed by the state legislature in February and effective today, H.F. 189 repeals a 1963 state statute that outlawed the selling of a ticket “at a price greater than that charged at the place of admission or printed on the ticket.”
In sponsoring the bill, Rep. Chris DeLaForest (R-Andover) said the repeal will attract ticket-reselling companies to the state and that increased competition will benefit consumers by curbing ticket prices. Previously a misdemeanor, scalping could get you up to 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. Ticket scalping, that is.
