Can the Net make ticket scalping legit?
Internet companies such as TicketsNow.com and StubHub are trying to clean up the industry’s image by weeding out con artists, offering up no-nonsense pricing and guaranteeing on-time delivery.
StubHub is an online marketplace where anyone, brokers and individual ticket holders alike, can buy and sell. To secure transactions, the company holds the money paid by a ticker buyer. Then, like an escrow service, StubHub tracks the ticket and pays the seller once the buyer receives it.
