How do scalpers actually get all the tickets faster than the average consumer?
In: 2406
I know there’s newer tricks, but in the old days they’d hire homeless people to go stand in line. I worked ticket lines a few times and you could tell that sometimes up to half of the “customers” would be buying as many tickets as was allowed and then handing them over to some ~~scumbag~~ ticket broker, who would pay them back the amount they spent, plus enough to buy whatever the homeless person negotiated. We had rules of course — couldn’t hand money to people in line, couldn’t break out of the line for any reason — but if you had enough connections to the local homeless community, you could probably buy a significant chunk of the tickets.
