My daughter bought tickets online from a company based in IL. Turns out they are scalpers. NC has a law against this that says: One can resell tickets to special events, such as athletic games, for no more than the face value of the ticket plus a "reasonable service fee" not to exceed $3. G.S. 14-344. Does this law govern only in person sales or is scalping in general illegal in NC? I have contacted the company with this information and they won't refund the money. If I send the tickets back and dispute this with the bank, would that be legal?
