Yeah, my guess is that the reason these guys got busted was because someone bought tickets there, couldn't get into the parks, felt they were swindled, and logged in a call to the cops.
I would imagine that's usually what forces the cops to spend time/money/manpower on this.

You can pass me on the ideas you can't use then. I have neither of those :lookaroun
It's easy to say that until you are injured. So if they had $100,000 liability and you had $200,000 worth of medical bills because of that industry's negligence, you still support whatever the state wants to give them?
The re-sale of tickets is entirely different than limiting liability. (Although, with skiing, there is an inherent danger which does need to be recognized, so I'm playing devil's advocate here).
I t was not really a good comparison in the first part as liability limits and ticket resales are about as far apart as you can get.
Personally when it comes to liability limits I am for them but with some provisions. First of all the business bust be found negligent. If you are engaging in a high risk activity you do need to have a bit of personal responsibility. Second there should be no limits of legitimate medical bills. If a company was found negligent you medical bills and continued therapy should be taken care of. Lastly the limits should be on pain and suffering only. Pain and suffering always seems to be the catch all justification for most multi million dollar suits.
In December I tested the system.
I entered with a different finger every time. I got in every time.
The system failed.
The finger scan is so bogus. When it doesn't "work" the CM lets you in anyway. No one has ever checked my ID or pass when it doesn't work.
Back to the original topic...The penalty should be more severe. You sell tickets worth a couple of hundred thousand $$$ and you get a fine of $1000. If you stole or embezeled a couple of hundred thousand $$$ you certainly would not get a $1000 fine.

! :lol: That cracks me up!
I honestly have thought the same thing to be honest with you. Not sure those little devices are really doing anything at all other than spreading germs and giving germaphobes a heart attack.
Think about it, if they sold 2000 tickets, with few or no complaints before getting caught, then most if not all of those people were able to get into the park without issue. How could they continue to sell bum tickets without being overrun with complaints on a daily basis?
