Scalpers reselling tickets for Shanghai Disneyland's opening day (also: aerial photos)
Posted
Disney's new mega theme park in Shanghai doesn't open until June, but scalpers are already trying to jack up ticket prices to obscene levels. Advanced tickets for the Shanghai Disney Resort went on sale Monday. Standard prices are 499 yuan ($77) for peak times and 370 yuan ($57) for other periods. But scalpers on Taobao, one of Alibaba's online shopping platforms, were asking as much as eight times face value for some tickets.
