Is ticket scalping legal?
Ticket scalping is legal in Arizona. Scalpers are allowed to scalp above face value. We suggest checking at the box office first and getting a seating chart of the venue before purchasing scalped tickets.
This is a desert, so why are there so many trees in Downtown Phoenix?
The trees were planted to reduce pollution and provide shaded areas. Our trees are low water trees that are native to the area - primarily Palo Verde, Palo Brea and Acacia trees, with some ornamental orange and palm trees.
Where does Phoenix get its water and why does it taste, “funny?”
Our water comes to us through a series of canals from the Colorado River. The taste comes from the high mineral content.
