Ticketmaster to be exempted from city's anti-scalping law

A Baltimore City Council committee voted Thursday to exempt such companies as Ticketmaster from the city's long-standing anti-scalping law, the Baltimore Sun reported.

The council's finance committee voted 3-1 in favor of the bill, which would exempt Ticketmaster and other ticket sellers from Baltimore'santi-scalping law. The legislation was a response to a ruling by Maryland's highest court, which last month struck down Ticketmaster user fees in Baltimore.
