Massachusetts is an interesting state when it comes to pricing. Not only does it have an item pricing law (every item has to have a price tag), it also has an antiscalping law.
That law says that, if one obtains a license, one can resell ticktes for a $2 mark-up above face value, plus certain service charges.
That really doesn't leave much room for an "honest ticket scalper" to make much margin when Ticketmaster charge fees of around $11.25.
No wonder Debbie Lacey accused scalpers of "obscene gouging" when she received a $42 face value Boston Red Sox ticket that had been purhcased for her for a price of $424
