Is it still illegal to scalp tickets?

It's illegal in Chicago.  But one time my friend got busted scalping by an undercover cop, but the cop didn't do anything because they were looking for "professional" scalpers.  Once they found out he was just a regular person selling an extra, they let him go (with the ticket).

it's legal with a script.   but there are some *shady* ways to get them without one.  good luck hunting.

Two things check the local website for chicago under court, secondly you can contact local authorities where the ticket might be in.

Ebay or some ticket auctions online, they buy off and then sell those tickets for more, if you don't mind the extra cash go for it

I used to work on the railways and had to check the tickets of the people before they boarded their train.  They had to pass through the booth I was working in.  As you can imaging lots of people may well have had tickets that wern't legit or were out of date ot that they had modified in some way, so not everyone liked to show me their ticket to closely!\nBut the worst people of all were not the young kids, or those scruffily dressed, it was the smartly dressed people, the men wearing a shirt and tie and suit, they were by FAR the worst.  They always thought that they were above me and used to talk down to me, and one man said that I was a nothing and this was the best job I could get.  \nSo when I used to find a "posh" person with an invalid ticket, or a ticked that had been altered in some way, I cant tell you the pleasure that gave me to book them!\nIn fact 70% of all prosecutions were given to people in the legal profession!  These people got a criminal record for fare evasion often for less than £1 (or $2)!

Laws vary by state and it is called "scalping" if  you want to research the laws in your state.\n\nIt generally refers to people who buy tickets for the intent of selling them at higher than face value price, but laws and rules vary, including the organization's rules for season holders selling their tickets to others.

You can try to protest the tickets, but they may say that ignorance of the law is no excuse.  You don't say where you live compared to where you got the tickets (If you live within a few blocks, they will say you should have known).  It also depends on why the yellow curb was painted (Was it near a hydrant or an intersection, in which case, the ticket will probably stand).\n\nYou may at least be able to get one ticket tossed and the other upheld.

I'd advise against buying tickets online. They are non-transferrable and coded to the individual. I was lucky enough to get 2 tickets, but I couldn't sell them, even if I wanted to. Which I don't!

It's my understanding that you have to be given the ticket at the time of the offense - either handed to you or attached to your car.  If this doesn't happen, you cannot be sent one in the post - it is invalid according to the law.  I have a friend who has used this defense a number of times and it has always worked.

If you are talking about a parking lot, then yes.  During a ride along, we issued 2 tickets to those who parked in a handicapped space without any permit.  It can be a pretty costly mistake.

Nickelodeon says you can not buy tickets. They have contests and promotions and you have to win tickets. however Stubhub does sometimes have tickets for sale.
