I know someone who had an extra parking pass for the Rutgers/Louisville game, so he put it up on eBay. The But It Now price was $15, which is the price of the parking ticket itself. So here we have a guy who just wants to make his money back on the parking pass. But it ended up selling for $55. From what you're saying, he scalped the parking pass....but is it really scalping?
And like Andy said, scalping is legal in some states. I mean, Rutgers announces at every game that game tickets can be bought at the ticket office or at
StubHub.com, which is essentially a website for scalpers.
