| Category: Scalping Perhaps it's an unappealing notion to many, but I think that outlawing scalping is an assault on property rights. On top of that, cancelling and re-issuing tickets looks like profiteering on Cricket Australia's part. On top of that, what if the original ticket holder died and the executors of the will sold his ticket to the highest bidder? On top of that, only a tiny proportion of the scalping is going to be "caught" so they are enforcing a law selectively. On top of that, Cricket Australia does its own "auctioning of tickets" to corporate customers but claims some sort of high moral ground when individuals try to do so. On top of that, who the heck would want to go to a game of cricket, anyway? Cricket makes soccer look interesting! |
