What Effect Scalpers Have On Ticket Prices

If you’ve got an extra $8,000 or $10,000 burning a hole in your pocket, then Super Bowl ticket scalpers are probably interested in talking to you.

If you don’t want to hang out with friends at home and enjoy the big game on whatever size screen you’ve got, then you can grab a ticket for that aforementioned price of many thousands. 

ASU Business Professor Emeritus Stephen Happel has studied scalping and its impact. He said that depending on how soon the event is, scalpers can have a big effect on prices.
