INDIANAPOLIS(CBSNewYork) -- Think ticket scalping won't be a problem at this year's Super bowl? Think again. In spite of secondary ticket sales sources like StubHub and TicketsNow, scalping is still an issue.

The Record reported that the streets of Indianapolis remain ripe with alleged scalpers leading up to Sunday's game, asking passersby if they "need tickets".

"It will get down nice and low here," said one scalper, "and then we'll get $2,100 [reselling it later]."
