Is Selling Tickets On Craigslist Illegal?

It is illegal to sell tickets on Craigslist for more than face value. Several states have recently repealed their laws against `scalping’ as no valid difference could be made between selling a house or a car and selling tickets for a profit. Others repealed the laws because they were ineffective as even if applied, it is quite expensive and time-consuming to probe an internet sale of tickets over face value. Craigslist is one of the most popular sites on the internet, offering job ads in particular and ads for getting pets, cars and almost everything. Posting and reading ads on Craigslist is mostly free. Controversies aside, it has proven itself as a popular and economical way for people to place and get ads on a variety of subjects.
