He also buys directly from the box office or from reputable brokers, often luring assistants to help him, since his money still speaks louder than the New York Department of Licenses, which has fruitlessly tried to end illegal ticket practices. Some small-timers find it profitable to sell their position in line for My Fair Lady's 30 standing-room tickets a day for as much...
