Illinois Ticket Scalping Law

Illinois law prohibits ticket scalping, which is reselling tickets for events like concerts or sports at prices significantly higher than the original face value. Generally, reselling tickets at more than 10% above their original price is illegal, with some exceptions such as authorized resale platforms or certain event-specific regulations. The law aims to protect consumers from unfair pricing and fraud, and violations can result in fines or other penalties. However, in certain circumstances, limited resale activities may be permitted if done within specific guidelines set by the state or event organizers.
