"Only Available in Pack of Four," "1 left," "Available in Group of 3." These sound like the restrictions on that coupon sale. Actually, they're the tickets your Los Angeles ticket broker, New York ticket broker, or Chicago ticket broker have available for a given date and section. It's terrific news if you're buying tickets for your family of four, but what if you need six tickets? Why is your broker controlling the number of tickets you can buy?

Your ticket broker gets inventory from sellers who have a set number of tickets to unload. It's not that your ticket broker has a lack of concern over Aunt Millie and Uncle Jake. Your ticket broker sells tickets on the secondary market, which means he takes what people selling tickets offer him. You might pick up extra tickets at a fan marketplace, or choose tickets for a different night. Oh wait--you can get the four-pack. Aunt Millie and Uncle Jake just saw a coupon sale with their names on it.
