Actually, it is not "illegal" in WA....

At least you are wrong in respect of Australia, with the exception of QLD which to date is the only State that has actually passed law to criminalise ticket resale. Briefly and simply:
Ticket resale is pretty a much always a breach of the terms and conditions of ticket sales for performances, because every seller will put that in their Ts & Cs. But they would have to sue civilly for breach of contract to enforce that. And that is unlikely to happen anytime soon.
Additionally some States permit cancellation of some kinds of tickets where it can be proven the have been resold/resold for profit. Again, not realistically enforceable in a private transaction. Gets used for those mass ticket resale auctions online on occasion.
All that amounts to the fact however that it is not "illegal" (ie. a criminal offence) to resell tickets for profit in Australia, unless you're in QLD.
If it were illegal, I can guarantee you Ebay Australia would not be permitting the thousands of ticket resale auctions to run. Personally I think they should ban them for ethical reasons, but I guess hell might freeze over first......
And so ends 'Law of ticket scalping 101' lecture. ;)
