The thought of possibly getting Easter Egg Roll tickets became yesterday's obsession. Sure, I wanted tickets for my family and was frustrated by the online ticketing system but while the tickets provided families all over the country with the chance to go, it also opened up ticketing to those trying to make big bucks off of selling their tickets.
Fortunately the White House is not condoning the sales of any tickets through eBay and you can read about what the current administration is doing about it in this Washington Times article.
As I said before, requiring valid ID, as has been required with most online ticket purchases I have made in the past, seems like it could have eliminated scalper sales ...
ReplyDeleteEven if you had a grandma, etc, trying for you, they could put YOUR name and address.
The WH will not be able to stop all scalping by asking eBay, craigslist, etc for help.
