it doesn't cause any harm to another person
I can't agree with this assertion. Scalping tickets in the LSU sections of the Superdome can, in fact, cause definable harm to others:
(1) Individuals who indiscriminately sell tickets in the LSU section to Alabama fans have the potential to ruin the game experience for the LSU fans who faithfully attend the contest. It's generally unpleasant to have to sit near an opposing fan during a game of this magnitude and be forced to endure their cheering, taunting, and hostility;
(2) LSU fans who sell their tickets to Alabama supporters erode the vocal support that the LSU football team will benefit from in the Superdome;
(3) LSU boosters who requested BCS NC tickets that they had no intention of ever using deprived other LSU fans with fewer priority points of the opportunity to attend a historic game. In order to selfishly generate a profit, such individuals appropriated tickets that might have otherwise gone to LSU fans who would actually attend the event and support the team.
I am sensitive to the very poor economic climate that pervades the nation at this time. I understand that there are certain LSU fans who simply must sell their tickets at a profit in order to pay daily living expenses or help provide for families. I have no quarrel with those people. However, most sellers don't fall into that category, in my experience. Rather, they are typically fairly affluent individuals or corporations who knowingly requested more tickets than they could use simply so that they could then turn around and gouge buyers on the free market. That's avaricious and unseemly.

I think this is the best post I've ever read on the rant (that didn't have hot chicks).
