After all, its always nice to get something for : free when you buy something. So have fun scalping, and lets see some : creative things for sale. 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." -- SEAN MENDIS Georgia Institute Of Technology, Atlanta GA 30332 Telephone : (770) 317-7624 Email: gt4301b@prism.gatech.edu
