Scalped Tickets
Members,
Im writing a football article and within that article I discuss the rise of ticket scalping. One of the aspects I've found is that "legitimate ticket sale agencies" were expected to stamp the tickets if they sold them for higher than face value. This stamp would be a government style stamp. Here is from a 1936 NYT article: "Walter J. Rothensies, Collector of Internal Revenue, said that ticket agencies and individuals who sell tickets at higher than face value must have a license from the department and are required to stamp a record of the resale on the ticket." I doubt that scalpers would actually do this, but I was curious if anyone had any tickets with an example of this stamp? It may have language relating to the "Internal Revenue Service" on the stamp. Would really help to see a picture of this. Please post or send me a PM Thank you
