Wisconsin legislature considers changes to ticket scalping law

The Wisconsin state legislature is considering new language to a law that would make it easier to prosecute ticket scalpers who illegally resell tickets near Miller Park where the Milwaukee Brewers play. The city set up a zone outside the park where ticket resale is allowed, but allegedly ambiguous language in state regulations made it difficult to enforce against scalpers who plied their trade outside of the zone. The state Senate is scheduled to consider the amendment today, March 2, and the state Assembly is scheduled to consider it later this week.
