As much as I hate ticket scalpers, I donÂ’t see this as an issue that Congress should be dealing with during a time of major economic upheaval.

Sen. Charles Schumer on Sunday unveiled a proposal aimed at giving fans a better chance to buy hot concert tickets at face value before ticket resellers scoop them up and raise the prices.

The proposed legislation would set a two-day waiting period from when tickets go on sale through normal channels before a ticket reseller can buy the tickets to put on the secondary market, Schumer, a New York Democrat, said in a statement.

"The bottom line is we need to create a fair system where fans get first crack at good seats at a reasonable price," Schumer said.

Really, Chuckles? Fair as defined by who? Oh, yeah – by you and your constituents who couldn’t get ticket to see an over-the-hill rocker whose best work is at least two decades behind him.

But more to the point – don’t you have something more important to do during the Obama Economic Crisis?
