Although it is rarely enforced, the rule has a chilling effect on trade in tickets, since those who care about following the rules are deterred from selling or buying them. Even those who do buy or sell tickets on open lists often refrain from listing prices, which leads many to get ripped off.

The morning sun is glorious on the terrace of the split-level bar overlooking the Ibar River, and the young men in black T-shirts are content to smoke their Marlboros and nurse their cokes, eyeing the more prosperous opposite bank of the river. They never cross the bridge, of course, because the Ibar marks the dividing line...
