Battle of the scalpers

Tickets for the Battle of the Blades, initially priced at $5, are now being sold for up to $145 each on Canadian and U.S. websites, including a controversial reseller owned by Ticketmaster.

The tickets for the popular CBC-TV program were modestly priced to ensure anyone could afford them.

The show's popularity has skyrocketed, however, and tickets are being snapped up by people with the intention of selling them for big profits.

The show, shot before a live audience at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, features former NHLers and accomplished figure skaters competing as pairs.
