Legal analysis: scalping is illegal. If it is serious, it will constitute a crime of illegal business operation and will be sentenced. Whoever resells train tickets or ship tickets, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also be fined not less than one time but not more than five times the ticket price. Cattle don't have to apply for industrial and commercial business licenses, pay taxes, and don't have to pay invoices for national taxes and local taxes. Just buy low and sell high. Combating and disrupting the normal order of ticket sales is the object of "strike hard". Many "scalpers" recruit people to handle deduction, vehicle inspection and fines, which seriously affects the order of public places around illegal disposal points.

Legal basis: The second paragraph of Article 227 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) sells train tickets and boat tickets. If the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also be fined not less than one time but not more than five times the ticket price.
