WTF Stories of the Week

Yeah, I suppose there has to be some sort of provision for cards you no longer have, since concert tickets in particular are purchased far in advance.

I kinda like this idea though. But why not limit the resale value to a tiny profit rather than a 100% profit? It may discourage most scalpers and ticket brokers not to get at 150,000% profit, but tickets should plain and simply not be purchased for the purpose of re-sale. If legitimate circumstances call for such a thing, the seller should be entitled only to a profit for time and effort of original acquisition and resale.

Still, it's a step in the right direction that I heartily applaud.
