At the urging of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), eBay and Craigslist have agreed to work with the senator to halt the sale of scalped inaugural tickets on their websites after reports that tickets intended to be free to the public were being sold, the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies announced Thursday.
“This year’s Presidential Inaugural Ceremonies are not for sale,” Schumer said in a statement. “eBay and Craigslist are doing the right thing in stopping the sale of scalped tickets to one of our nation’s most sacred events.
