Governor Elliot Spitzer is about making ticket scalping in New York legal. The plan to drop the scalping law got an okay from theater owners, who were once the biggest lobby group against ticket brokers. Here's the scoop:

Spitzer...argued that the free market should drive ticket prices for concerts, plays and sporting events.

"My view has always been that the laws don't work," Spitzer told The Post last week.

"The reason the laws don't work is it's the only product I know where we are regulating the secondary market but we don't set a price for the primary market. It makes no sense."

The state's anti-scalping law is set to expire in June.

And how will this effect the secondary market for trading tickets for sex.

And in all seriousness, how long until Ticketmaster develops their own secondary market ticketing site. Oh wait, they already have..........
