The Arkansas Supreme Court today, without comment, declined to rehear its decision that Ticketmaster is subject to the anti-scalping law when it is exclusive agent for tickets as such venues as Verizon Arena.

It said a ticket agent could add reasonable charges for handling, but didn’t say at what point charges became unreasonable.
