How risky is it to sell tickets to the Masters golf tournament on Ebay?

The Augusta National Golf Club has stated it will revoke any member on their ticket list if they find that tickets have been scalped in any way. Is there a possible way, aside from purchasing the scalped tickets outright, that the club can find out who sold the tickets?
I have been to the tournament many times before and they have never asked for ID once when checking-in. I was more concerned with them identifying me through Ebay. Is that possible since I have a screen name and do not use my real name?
I would also be selling them for a relative and not myself.

Very risky that is why you should sell the tickets to me.
Augusta is a bit……conservative ( thats the only word I could think of that would not get bleeped) I would imagine that not only could they check tickets against a master list …but also ask for ID upon entry to the grounds. It is after all….Private Property
i would be happy to buy them from you =)
They can not get your real name from Ebay, as long as what you are doing is legal. Ebay protects the identity of everyone. If the tickets have a bar code, they may be able to trace them to the original purchaser. The person that buys them on Ebay would have to report you to The Augusta. I just think it is too hard for them to really find out. There are too many factors that would have to go their way for them to find out. Also, they can not “MAKE YOU” tell them where you got the tickets. I think they are trying to scare people. If the tickets don’t have a bar code or the purchasers name, Augusta won’t have a chance of figuring it out. Be sure that if you post a pic of the tickets, you cover up any identifying info on the tickets.
I know if you live in North Carolina it is illegal to sell tickets for more than what you paid, if the event is in NC. I don’t know the laws of other states. Ebay will tell you.
They are your tix once in hand, they don’t have your name on them, do they?
You can sell your tix here also securely:
