Gothamist points out (or, well snarkily rebrands someone else’s content–but at least it saves your SAK Correspondent from linking to America’s most evil newspaper) today that ticket scalping is apparently, thanks to a law passed during Spitzer’s term as Governor, now perfectly legal. It seems that there is some serious Bon Jovi concert going down in Central Park this Saturday, and scalpers have taken the free tickets that have been distributed on to the web in search of some cash. Mayor Bloomberg shrugs on as fans who were slow the first go-round now either pay or get turned away.

Your SAK Correspondent, he is happy to say, has never scalped a ticket, instead giving away an extra to see Radiohead at Beacon Theatre (though the ticket was only $2) and on the occasion that friends flake out on free +1s, gives the extra guest spot away to a stranger at no charge.
