* The resale of, or attempted resale of, tickets in violation of state law.


State law allows selling tickets over face value. I.E. through stubhub, ebay or other internet sources allowing for warranty of the ticket in certain instances. Though I believe it is still unlawful to sell above printed value in person, it has been this way for many years, and people do it all the time... it will not stop, and I doubt state police give more than two shits unless people start selling gobs of fake tickets.

EDIT: Seems like paying the tradition fund for said ticket etc... is OK too:

"D. In connection with the sale of tickets to athletic contests of institutions of higher education, contributions or other payments in excess of the printed price requested by or made to the institution or to an alumni organization or foundation which is organized for the primary purpose of providing support to the institution and which has been recognized as an approved support organization by the board of the institution shall be allowed."

This is part of the statute:

"Nothing shall prohibit the resale or offering for resale via the Internet of an admission ticket, at any price, to an athletic contest, dance, theater, concert, circus, or other amusement, if the organizer of the event and the operator of the location where the event is occurring authorize admission tickets to such event to be resold for more than the price printed on the face of the ticket. If such resale is authorized, any admission ticket to the event may be resold or offered for resale through any web site if such web site's operator guarantees a full refund of the amount paid for the ticket under each of the following conditions:

(1) The ticketed event is canceled.

(2) The purchaser is denied admission to the ticketed event, unless such denial is due to the action or omission of the purchaser.

(3) The ticket is not delivered to the purchaser in the manner described on such web site or pursuant to the delivery guarantee made by the reseller and such failure results in the purchaser's inability to attend the ticketed event."

And this is a LINK to the rest of it.

Mick,

I always see you posting dumb shite but this may be your dumbest post yet. Tickets always say this, but hardly anything is done about enforcing those rules. But if you buy that load of crap, I have some ocean front property in Arizona I'd like to talk to you about...

I wish they would stop letting corporations buy dozens of tickets each year.

They don't allow this, it's a total myth...there are limits on any person or corp buying more than 8 sideline tix etc...other than a suite which are at least 50% non corp owned....get your fact straight.

Believe it or not, it's still scalping unless the pencil, program, penny etc is actually worth the asking price.

The real answer is just don't discuss price in a public forum. At the very least, never put actual ticket locations on any listing. If you post on the TE that you're selling Sec. 311, Row 10, seat 5 for $300, they'll find you.

A friend sells all his LSU sports tickets through StubHub and there is no way he will ever get caught by any LSU authority in charge of such.

My uncle's company has nearly 20 seats. They are all spread out in different sections but 20 seats are 20 seats.

Well, if they're in his name, it wouldn't be hard to figure out. But since StubHub is allowed by state law, it's not a matter of them "catching" him.

Scouts honor LSU has had the same "policy" for many years, has that stopped people from getting paid $1800 for 2 Bama tix?

This.

Honestly, if you even pay face for any game aside from this one in the secondary market, you are a fool.

Seriously doubt any LSU season ticket holders would subject themselves to this consequence just to profit a few bucks. This is good news for all.
