A friend of mine got scammed through EBay for a big national game. Turned out EBay should've (or could've) stopped the scam. My friend went to the local news. EBay then agreed to quietly buy my friend tix to the game.

I guess you are at least getting your money back, but go ahead and have some fun trashing them and see if it'll get you some tix.

I'm a lawyer. Here are my thoughts:
I would forget about it as soon as possible and get on with life.

You can argue that the tickets were from the moon and worth millions - it won't matter. If you wanted to pursue a contract claim, your best course would be to buy equivalent tickets and then sue them for the difference in cost.

True, but so what?

This is about as possible as Russia deciding to leave the Crimea in the next 24 hours because they realize they made a mistake.

No. Just no.

No. Because there are much more worthy pro bono suits and there will be no press.
This is not a story: "Guy uses shady company to buy tickets for big game, shady company sells tickets for more money to different buyer." Not a story.

Here's the advice I give many people in the course of a year - you got screwed over. It'll cost you more in time, aggravation, and life energy to fight it than you will ever get back out. Learn a lesson, protect yourself going forward, and live well.
