Scalpers are offering tickets to next year s Shmoocon hacking conference on eBay for almost three times the face value. The event, to be held January 28-30, is one of the premiere hacking and security conferences on the East Coast. Organizers capping the size of the event in recent years have put a premium on tickets to the event. It remains to be seen how the conference will be able to find a balance between being insular and affordable in the future.
