City Ordinance Sends Ticket Scalpers to Internet
Over 23,000 Big Blue fans are expected at Rupp Friday night, but if you plan to sell your tickets, even if not for profit, you could end up in jail instead of Rupp Arena.
A city ordinance prohibits the selling of tickets within a two block area of the Lexington Center, even if it is not for profit.

"People are making a lot of profit off something free," said on UK fan.
It's also illegal, but harder to catch than if standing out in front of Rupp.
