CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-REGULATION OF RESALE OF TICKETS OF ADMISSION TO PLACES OF ENTERTAINMENT

Authors

Abstract

An addition has been made to a series of cases indicating that the United States Supreme Court is turning away from a tendency to sustain state legislation, especially where the factual basis constituting the inducement of the enactment involves debatable factors. in a five to four decision that gives the unscrupulous ticket scalpers free rein to shear all the fleece from the theatre going lambs of greater New York, the Supreme Court has held to be in violation of the Fourteenth-Amendment a New York statute limiting the resale price of tickets of admission to places of entertainment to fifty cents in advance of the amount printed on their face.
