Don't ticket scalp at Arrowhead. You'll get arrested!!

Kylo Ren · 09-20-2004, 10:18 AM

Don't come to Arrowhead and buy scalped tickets. The police are running undercover sting operations and cleaning out the scalpers. I talked to a police officer at Arrowhead this Sunday. He told me all of this. They will allow no more ticket sales on the property, not even for face value. I saw some scalpers in handcuffs outside the stadium. They are arresting the scalpers AND the scalpees. Be warned.

BTW -- He said they aren't worried about scalping on Ebay or at ticket brokers like ACE sports. He said they are only cracking down on scalping on Arrowhead property.

The Mo. Hwy Patrol officer told me that they will continue to run undercover ops until they arrest or scare off all of the scalpers. There will probably be some scalpers there over the next few weeks. The problem is that you don't know if they are scalpers or undercover Cops.

They don't approach you, you approach them. If you offer them money for the ticket, they've got you.

I agree, but cops get away with entrapment every time they do a prostitution sting (I've seen one too many episodes of Cops).

This is bad news. That was generally the best way for our friends to get tickets. If your patient and willing to wait until the last minute, you could almost always get tickets for face just prior to kickoff.

You can buy tickets at face value anywhere in Missouri. No law against that.

Arresting the people buying the tickets? Is there a law against buying tickets?

The only one person allowed to scalp Chiefs fans in Missouri is King Carl!!

They both told me that Lamar Hunt had requested they do this. I don't know if they were kidding or serious. But they both said it.
