Ticketmaster takes on scalpers, eBay 
Industry giant to expand online ticket reselling service

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL 
April 5 - Meet the newest competition for ticket scalpers: Ticketmaster.
Since January, Ticketmaster has been quietly allowing season ticket holders
to the Columbus, Ohio, Blue Jackets hockey team to resell tickets they can't
use on a special portion of the team's Web site. Now, Ticketmaster plans to
roll out this feature, which it calls Ticketmaster Marketplace, to more
teams and events. The system is designed to compete with the scalpers,
ticket brokers and online auction houses like eBay Inc. that are the main
sources of last-minute tickets to sold-out games and musical performances.
