I doubt anyone is silly enough to come on here. "Yoo-hoo look at me I'm a criminal"

Hmmm, its like a lot of things that are made illegal it pushes them underground and hence attracts organised crime gangs. Whereas if it was legal and managed less attractive to the baddies. On the face of it I can see no harm, park already been paid the price they dictate and get "extra" money through food, drink and souvenir sales (which they would lose if the tix lapsed), original tix holder gets a few bucks back, and purchaser gets a bargain...just the baddies spoiling it and the Corporations greed.

I'm sorry if you all think it's harsh but we see the real warts and all.

Human trafficking is rife and on the increase in Fl and it's not a pretty sight. You might think it's harmless just selling on or buying a ticket from these people but harmless is the last thing it is. You are playing your part in organized crime. Without people reselling unused tickets there would be no booths.

I'm afraid it as fact of life that just because "I can see no harm" doesn't mean that one can choose which laws to obey and which they don't have to.

I agree with the human trafficking aspect being terrible but the initial act of buying or selling a ticket is seperate

Are the booths actually still doing this? I didn't see any this past 4 weeks in the places I'd usually notice them,I thought maybe the whole MDE and finger scan thing had stopped them.

I completely agree with you, and I understand that it might not be as harmless as simply buying a second hand ticket but it just baffles me. If you were a criminal and you wanted to try and legitimately front your business why open a booth that sells things that are illegal ?

If you know it's illegal and is enabling other crime, it's no so far removed. Turning a blind eye?
