Sorry- missed the bump.

I thought I had answered this previously; but the official CP stand is that if there is a premium game (as determined by the Flames)- then yes, you can charge that premium face value.

We have two objectives here:
- Not allow scalping.
- Make it easy to determine where the scalping line is; so there is one price. That could mean a person who bought tickets from Ticketmaster loses a bit, and STH could stand to make a bit of money.

We do not have the time to track down if a STH is selling tickets, or if they were bought from Ticketmaster. Or in my previous example, I don't want to try and find out if a person bought tickets elsewhere; and if they are STH tickets.
