Scalper was trying to sell tickets to one of Taylor Swift’s concerts in Brazil for R$2,000. However, the ceiling for official tickets was only R$1,050. Remembering that bartering (someone buying a ticket and trying to sell it for a higher value than the official ticket) is illegal and criminalcapable of serving a prison sentence of six months to two years.

When the Swift supporter, who had secured his ticket, realized the bad intentions of the money changer, he asked the dealer’s CPF and said that with this information he had signed up to be a pollster in the next elections.
