I've heard of people reserving MANY rooms at the hotels over a 2 month weekend, then brokering them out for higher fees. Now there IS something to say about that crap...
In the sports world that would be called scalping, and that is illegal almost everywhere.
Again, this practice is legal, but IMHO, it is still rude because of the attitude that I am going to get what I want, and if it has a negative impact on others, that's just too bad.
Scalping is actually legal in most states. It may be illegal to scalp them outside the venue, but all you need to do is go to any number of ticket resale sites on the internet to have the opportunity to pay more than face value for almost any sporting or concert event.
