MU-KU game
This is the best that Mizzou football has done in a very long time. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Mizzou (where I go) is playing Kansas right now. Mizzou is ranked #4 in the country and Kansas is at #2.
My friend Allie's brother is at the game right now at the Chiefs Stadium in Kansas City. It's kind of funny how he got the ticket. He bought it online, paying $30 for the ticket and $120 for a rally towel that went with it. So, basically, this is how scalpers are getting around the anti-scalping laws.
In a silly yet descriptive article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (here) about Missouri state laws on scalping: "Missouri law doesn't outlaw ticket scalping for nonsports events. The law against scalping sports tickets is repealed effective Nov. 28. Anti-scalping ordinances in St. Louis and Kansas also will be abolished, a spokesman for Nixon has said."
I guess this is the same argument that says illegal drugs would be safer and more regulated if they were legal. Well, we'll see.
