Is it legal and for OSU is there a chance to find 2 good seats??? Have not been to Tiger Stadium in a while and never had to worry about tickets till now. thank you in advance
It is not legal to scalp tickets in Louisiana, as far as getting a couple I think on Sat. Aug. 7th tickets will be on sale for home games on LSU Sports net (I think). Hope you get a chance to get a few and make the trip.
As long as the tickets are sold at face value, under Louisiana law, it is not scalping. Below is a post from almost exactly a year ago, outlining the law in detail. http://www.tigerforums.com/showthread.php?t=5123
Of course, there is no law that I'm aware of that prevents you from buying the ticket at face value, and then buying a toothpick from them for $50. (I'm not a lawyer, though, so maybe there is a law that covers this). On ebay, I think people were selling small trinkets for a given dollar amount (that was more than the face value of tickets) and including the tickets for free, or for face value, etc. Anti-scalping laws are stupid anyway... limit transactions to a limited number of tickets per credit card, add in some randomness, etc., if you're afraid of some person hording a lot of tickets and then re-selling them for a higher price.
Tickets on e-bay There are $200, $300, even $400 t-shirts, coozies, hats, etc. that come with free tickets on e-bay. You would think if it was big deal (illegal) somebody would have stopped it by now. Hell I payed off my credit card last year using e-bay to sell extra tickets.
