Did I break anti-scalping laws? Today I took a number of kids to a local theme park. I found I had accidently bought one extra ticket online. The ticket cost $30.00, so I approached another family and asked if they wanted the ticket for $20.00. A security guard rushed up and yelled that I was breaking the law. Was I? I have tried to find the legal rules online, but no luck. I think the City of Federal Way has the authority in this, but found no law on their book. After the guard finished yelling and saying he would ban my family from the park, I turned and gave the ticket to the other family. I would like to write a letter of complaint, but I would like to know my legal rights. Thanks for the help.

Check with the City of Federal Way City Attorney. It is good that you are not being cited and can learn the rules for the next time. It is common not to have all city legislation online. This is an area of the law that is in great flux. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details. Several states in the past five years have loosened anti-scalping regulations.
