Below is an excerpt from the City of Phoenix' website as it pertains to the license that those selling tickets are forced to acquire or only do business with those that posses.
[Downtown Sidewalk Vending
The following information outlines the requirements for the vending of food at fixed sidewalk locations within the Downtown Vending District.
Downtown Sidewalk Vending sites are awarded annually (for January 1 through December 31) by a bid process and requires that a license agreement contract be signed with the City.]
If the permit that a business is forced to acquire is not for the product or services provided then the licensee is forced to commit a crime. Phoenix police will soon have to answer for the arrests made on the basis of individuals selling tickets that were charged with sidewalk vending without a license because a license for selling tickets does not exist, the license that has been made mandatory is for selling food and drinks.
Some of the scalpers and non-scalpers alike (people who just want to sell tickets they won't be using) have been arrested and/ or told that they cannot sell what they own in the downtown vending district on false pretenses, that's called harrasement. Many people that sell, buy, and trade tickets in Downtown Phoenix have done so for upwards of twenty years always on the right side of the law pursuant to A.R.S. 13-3718 without so much as a warning from a police officer why has that changed? Something is afoul.
Who would like to have two extra tickets to a game, sell them to some one who needs them, then go to jail? Certainly not me AGAIN.
