520 1 $a"Ticket scalping in America began as early as the mid-1800s, when "sidewalk men" were charging all the traffic would bear for event tickets. Legal attempts to limit their activities were far from successful. Over the years the public became more tolerant as the practice became increasingly prevalent. By the 1990s, even the capitalist mantra of the free market and economic principles of supply and demand were being used to justify scalping." "This volume details the ways in which scalping has changed over the years from a one-man business to an agency-controlled enterprise, and how public and legal perceptions of the practice have evolved."--BOOK JACKET.
