TICKETS to US President Barack Obama's inauguration this month are supposed to be free, but they're being sold on eBay and Craigslist for up to US$2,000 apiece.
Efforts by congressional offices and the Presidential Inaugural Committee, which are distributing the tickets, haven't stopped online entrepreneurs.
Even though enthusiasm isn't as high as it was for Obama's historic inauguration four years ago, memories of the incredible crowd for that sprawling outdoor event seem to have driven up prices for this year.
