I beg to differ. To quote from 

http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-tickets.html

"For events in states or countries that regulate ticket sales, tickets may
not be packaged with other items unless the listing qualifies as a ticket
package."

"To qualify as a "ticket package," the listing must not offer the high
bidder an option to purchase the tickets alone, and must include either: 

At least one item or experience of substantial value related to the ticket
event that the seller has coordinated with the event promoter, team,
manager, artist, or venue, such as a backstage pass, a meeting with the
performer, or an "experience" such as being a ballboy at a baseball
game; 

OR 

A complete travel package around the event, including BOTH air
transportation to the event location and commercial lodging for at least
one night. Listings that offer tickets without these travel arrangements
do not qualify as travel packages under this policy."
