I have to partly disagree with the other answers. There are many ticket broker agencies that sell tickets online ... ie. Ticketmaster, Telecharge, etc. One of the most common ways they get tickets is to buy them from individuals, then resell them. For something popular such as the World Series, they have very many sources that buy tickets for them for resale. There are often ticket scalping laws in place that regulate the amount brokers can charge, but you won't find them being enforced very often. I know for a fact that $200 World Series tickets can go for several thousand dollars a week or so before big games. Also, ticket brokers such as Ticketmaster and Telecharge are licenced by the state. You can always see tickets for sale by individuals in the newspaper want-ads, so there is money to be made, that's for sure. A major problem, however, is that online and most offline ticket sales have the name of the purchaser printed right on the ticket. Major League ballparks will often ask for photo ID before letting you into the park, and if the ticket is not in your name you simply don't get in. Better check that before you sell or buy any tickets from anyone except the actual event organization. Good luck!!
