The Ticket Speculator and Theater Ticket Control
The Theatre Managers Association seeks to curb sidewalk ticket brokers by urging the Board of Aldermen to cancel licenses that allow brokers to operate outside theaters. They argue brokers provide no essential service and charge excessive, irregular rates, undermining box office and official ticket bureaus. The practice annoys the public and harms theatre patrons seeking fair, advance or last minute seating at published prices. The association notes hotel ticket agencies perform a service for short notice seating and agrees with Daniel Frohman on limiting speculative ticket handling.

Debate Over New Croton Reservoir At Cornell Dam
