denver post-education blog # 4

For my fourth blog, I chose to read about a scalper that was busted after attempting to try and sell 60 tickets valued at $100 dollars each, for around $300. I think that it is good that the cops caught this guy, because it will influence more people not to get into that business of taking advantage of people. People need to watch out for these guys that try and scam people into paying $200 more than what the ticket is actually worth. If there are people doing this at almost every single game, then that's saying alot about the security that Colorado enforces.
I think that the stadium should also do more to stop this because there are lots of people being driven away because there are no more seats. The scalpers have bought them all, and trying to sell them for ridiculous prices, which is driving people away. The police need to put stricter laws on this so people don't get encouraged to join this business off scamming people.
