Question
Someone purchased a world cup ticket for R200. Can he sell it for R250?
Answer
Purchasing and then selling the ticket for the haraam world cup, are haraam. Leave alone selling it for a higher price, it is haraam to give it even free to anyone. The only thing that could be done with it is to tear it up and throw it away.
In general, as far as tickets are concerned, e.g. bus tickets, plane tickets, etc. it is not permissible to sell them for a higher amount than what was paid for them.
