| We were unlucky and did not get chosen in the lottery. It pisses me off that people are now selling their free tickets for $50-100 on Craigslist. I can see a few $ for your trouble to meet me or send me the tix but profiting off free tickets? I am sure this happens every year but I just had to vent... |

| Then don't buy them... they're tickets to the White House. Of course they're expensive. |

| I think OP is mad because people sign up for tickets just so they can sell them. It takes away tickets from people who want to go. |

Exactly. Additionally, I have an issue with people profiting off tickets they got for free and our tax dollars paid for. |

True, true... Hadn't had my coffee yet. That is a waste of tax payers dollars and people shouldn't be profiting from selling free tickets. |

| Tickets and rules state clearly they're not supposed to be sold and any tix purchased are void (not that they really have any way to check that as you enter...) |

Meh, whatever. If you don't want to pay, then don't
The roll really isn't all that. |

I would report them!
To both, Craigslist and the White House. |

Well, if anyone if willing to pay $150 to stand in a long line for hours in the heat with a bunch of screaming kids, then they get what they deserve. Out the money for a really not very enjoyable time.

The process should absolutely be old style - as in waiting in line at 2 am. That way, the greedy MF's would have to actually NOT be lazy on top of it! This is just wrong. |

Or they just make them non-transferable and print names on them. If you can't go you send them back and they can issue them to the next people on the waiting list. |

Great & easy idea, hence way too difficult for the Governement to implement. |

| They do have names on them, but they don't check IDs at the gate. |

I thought the posting on Craigslist requesting tickets and included a sad looking picture of her child was crap. It looks like one of those Sally Struthers, Feed the Children pictures.
