Selling Tickets

Reselling tickets may get easier for Orioles and Ravens fans:

Scoring last-minute tickets to an Orioles or Ravens game would be as easy as a stroll downtown under a bill introduced in the City Council yesterday that would lift a prohibition against reselling tickets within a mile of the Camden Yards sports complex.

Supporters said they hope the measure would boost the Orioles' lagging attendance by making it easier for ticket holders to unload their extra tickets among the throngs of fans outside the park, rather than throwing them out and leaving seats empty.

...

The proposal only allows sales at or below the face value of tickets - keeping the scalping of tickets in the area illegal.

They should lift the ban on scalping, too. If tickets are available at the box office, few will pay a premium to a scalper. If they're not available, ticket holders should be allowed to obtain fair value for the seats. Still, this is a move in the right direction.
