LITTLE ROCK, AR - The Arkansas House rejected a bill that would have repealed the state's prohibition against selling tickets above face value.

By a 20-65 vote, HB 1404 will not advance to the Senate.  The bill set out to decriminalize ticket scalping for the seller.

House Rep. Douglas House (R-North Little Rock) invoked pop acts Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum as he presented his bill Friday.

House called the inability for a seller to sell a ticket above face value "socialist."

The bill covered concerts and professional sports events, but not collegiate athletics.
