By Mike Cardillo
This is America, I guess: Scalpers now asking up to $125 for free Bills-Jets tickets in Detroit.

The Bills-Jets game, as we know by now, was moved to Detroit on Monday night due to record snow in Western New York. Free, general admission tickets to the game became available on Saturday and quickly sold out online. The Lions kept 500 tickets available at the box office to go on sale between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Sunday, but those tickets were gone, according to ESPN’s Mike Rodak, within 10 minutes. Rodak writes that one scalper was asking up to $125 for a ticket. (No word yet how much they’ll actually be sold for come game time, of course.)
A quick reminder: the Bills and Jets combined records are 7-13.
The game will air locally on CBS as well as on DirecTV’s Sunday Ticket for subscribers.
