The senator overseeing Barack Obama's swearing-in ceremony is writing to sites like eBay asking them not to sell scalped inauguration tickets. Sen. Dianne Feinstein also said she's crafting a bill that would make a federal crime of selling tickets to the historic event Jan. 20. Feinstein, who chairs the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, said she foresees overwhelming demand for the 240,000 available tickets and has heard reports they may be sold for as much as $40,000 online. "These tickets are given for free to people. This is a major civic event of the time, and no one pays for their tickets, and we believe no one should be required to pay for their tickets," Feinstein said in an interview.
