Ticket Scalpers Plan To Make Profit From Pope Francis Visit

PHILADELPHIA (WJZ) — When Pope Francis comes to the U.S. later this month, ticket scalpers plan to make a profit from his visit.

Hundreds of people on eBay and Craigslist are trying to sell train tickets to the pope’s visit for up $40, which is four times their face value.
