Colorado has no anti-scalping law. But in Denver it is strictly prohibited to sell a ticket for greater than its face value.

If you plan to get your ticket after traveling to Denver, here are the legal pitfalls you may face.

Fans in Indianapolis had no problem buying tickets from scalpers. At Heinz Field there's a cap on what scalpers can charge but in Denver -- forget about it.

"In Denver I feel that is wrong because if you have something of value -- you should be able to make that available to the market at the price you set," said Eric Jobe.

Attorney Eric Jobe represents 16 scalpers in a lawsuit against the city of Pittsburgh to void a no-scalping zone around PNC Park.

People throughout Colorado are selling their tickets on eBay. It may be no coincidence that the Denver seller is selling their tickets at the lowest price.

The Denver law forbids tickets from being sold above the printed price on the ticket. If caught, scalpers face a fine. And fans may as well. If the person who takes your ticket knows you paid more than the face value - by law they can deny you entrance to the game. How would they know? If the price you paid is written on the ticket.

For some Steelers fans-- no amount of money is too much. Jobe says if the ticket is a legitimate ticket nobody is being victimized.

"There is no victim. I think it just comes to down to sports teams trying to do too much, said Jobe.

We also wanted to point out that -- according to the Broncos ticket policy -- if they know the ticket you purchased was not bought from them or theft authorized agents they can also deny you admission to the game.
