The current punishment for scalpers is based on Article 64 of the "Social Order Maintenance Law", but the "resale for profit" in the article must be that the scalpers have sold transportation and entertainment tickets, and the "resale for profit" has been completed. Only behaviors can be punished; if it is only intended to resell, the current provisions cannot punish the attempted stage before the "resale for profit" is completed.
