Even before eBay, similar things happened with the Rose Bowl. Some travel angencies would sell package deals (travel/tickets/hotel) to Big Ten fans, but if they got a better deal later own, they would screw over the first. So thousands of fans would arrive in Pasadena to find out they couldn't get in the game. In a sense, it was like a airline overbooking an airplane, know that they will have to book some people.
