True

Explanation:

Ticket scalping is an act where an entity or individual sells already bought tickets, at a higher or lower price than the original one, taking into consideration the demand.

Nowadays, ticket scalping is associated with selling at a higher price. This practice is common with limited edition goods also. It is illegal when it is in correlation with automated bots that perform attack on the ticket seller's website, in order to gain early bird access.
