True on 1 but not on 2. There is no longer a limit on the amount you can resell a ticket for in NYS. see NYS ACA 11-C, Title G, 25.30(c): https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/…

This is interesting. Are there restaurants doing this kind of variable pricing? I bet there are some eager GMs thinking about it.

From the National Association of Ticket Brokers (the lobbying arm of the ticket reseller industry): https://www.protectticketrights.com/news/86/PRESS+RELEASE+NY... (This is not my …

Yes. Either through simply carrying many cards (see the binders of credit cards in documentaries on ticket resellers) or getting many numbers issued against a single account by a f…

Overall, I don't think the restaurants have a particularly strong incentive to solve this problem. This is the identical to early perspective on the secondary market in event ticke…

As other commenters have shared, there are big disincentives for restaurants to turn people away at the door - they don't get paid, and it is negative experience for both sides (wi…

I think this is actually common now. I'm often asked to make a deposit on a reservation when using Resy. I'm not aware that there is variable or dynamic pricing component to it, ho…

From your friends in event ticketing: welcome to the struggle, and we're sorry. I hope Resy figures this out, and I hope we're able to learn from (or license) their solution. I exp…

Ticket marketplaces take fees on every transaction, so incentivizing multiple transactions on a single ticket is in their interest. Additionally, resale fees tend to be higher, on …

100% correct. In addition to being generally legal in the US, in key markets, resale cannot legally be constrained. A venue or artist cannot legally institute policies or practices…

At the risk of being obvious, I don't think that is what Stoller is saying. I think he is saying it is a tech problem whose root cause is a monopoly problem (leading to long-term u…

This varies by US state. In some states - including New York - it is illegal to prohibit transfer of tickets and therefore illegal to prohibit resale.

Look at paragraph (c), a little pro-reseller nugget buried in an otherwise very consumer friendly law. That paragraph is the reason obvious anti-scalping practices can't work in on…

Ice is the old practice of producers (aka rights holders) or box office staff taking tips to make tickets available to resellers. This is illegal and is not common anymore. The era…

Northwestern University uses (or used) a version of this for their basketball team, which they call "Purple Pricing". https://blogs.cornell.edu/info2040/2022/10/25/sports-ticket-..…

In New York State, it is illegal to prohibit the transfer of tickets, which complicates most obvious approaches to stopping scalpers. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/ACA/…

The off-line version of this (Merlin) worked great in the Boundary Waters in June. Detected visually-verified grouse, vireos, woodpeckers, trumpter swan and bald eagles on Nina Moo…

In my experience, this is a common misconception. In the union contracts I've worked with and under (entertainment industry), seniority is not a factor in compensation. More senior…

Ditto DC. Ditto Chicago (though it's better). NYC cab service is by far the most consistently reliable this side of the Atlantic... once you get the rules down. One largely unknown…

I'm struck that there are great sites for learning how to code and how to build a small business around software development. Nothing like this exists for the entertainment industr…
