Diary of a Scalper

摘要

Buying tickets to a show or a sports event is easy. Just go to one of about a zillion Web sites, find the event you want, and plug in a credit card number. Reselling those tickets isn't much more complicated: Post them on eBay or craigslist and set a price. But trying to make a killing on those sales is about to kill me. I've spent the past three mornings tinkering with the price of a seat at Dodger Stadium in the heat of the pennant race. I can't figure out how to unload two tickets to Justin Timberlake's show in Sayreville, New Jersey. And I'm having panic attacks about the Cheetah Girls' ability to fill a 5,000-seat hall in Denver.
