Whether your going to a sporting event, the ballet, a concert, or any other type of ticketed event, chances are you have seen ticket scalpers.  In some states it is legal and in the ones that it is not, it is not strictly enforced.  It seems like for literally every event, no matter how sold out, someone has tickets for sale.  It is these tickets that can bring in hundreds, even thousands of dollars for a scalper.
