ticket scalper
Inflated price seller
A ticket scalper is someone who buys tickets to events—concerts, sports games, shows—and resells them at inflated prices, typically outside the venue or online.
The practice exploits high demand and limited supply: Scalpers were asking three hundred dollars for fifty-dollar seats.
Laws regulating scalping vary by jurisdiction, and the line between scalping and legitimate resale has blurred with online ticket marketplaces.
