Books about Scalpers from Amazon.com

ATTENTION FANS OF CONCERTS AND SPORTING EVENTS

WARNING: The Music Just Got Louder. The Action Just Got Closer.

What sets Sold Out...SO WHAT! apart?

With the countless how-to books out there flooding the market, you might be tempted to dismiss Sold Out...SO WHAT! But if you take a closer look, you will find that there has NEVER been a how-to guide for concert and sporting event enthusiasts on navigating the treacherous waters of dealing with unscrupulous Ticket Brokers, "Authorized Ticket re-sellers" and Scalpers.

The Problem is Getting Worse

In 2007, many states made Scalping event tickets legal, with law makers essentially throwing in the collective towel on monitoring this $10 billion industry. This has left the average "Joe" event fan to fend for themselves as Ticket Brokers and Scalpers grab up all of the tickets before they go on sale to the public and then inflate them to obscene prices.

Finally, a Solution...

Max Deale has stepped forward to release a "survival guide" for the common live event attendee, the true fan. He has outlined the secrets that the High-Priced Ticket Brokers and Scalpers DON'T want you to know that will give fans a fighting chance to see their favorite Concert or Sporting Event without having to donate a kidney to get there.
Sold Out...SO WHAT! isn't theoretical in its approach, nor does it take on the role of victim; this lighthearted, engaging playbook chronicles every step the author took in building his own successful system to level the playing field and enjoy the life of a Superfan. In Max's world, the fans REJOICE!

Jason Fox, and Keith Doyle, two American long haul truckers were content to pound the pavement to make an honest day's wage. Their world gets turned upside down when the bodies of murdered women from across the country are dumped near their home towns. It gets worse when one of them is implicated for the murders, and the other's wife is the killer's next target. When young F.B.I. Special Agent Dixie Crenshaw is sent to Springfield, Missouri, the dumping site, she is joined by veteran G-Man Special Agent Thomas Bradford. Together they realize that not only does no one else in the F.B.I. want this case, but the unsub calling himself Scalper has an unholy alliance. An unlikely coalition between F.B.I. agents and truck drivers occur when Dixie befriends one of the would-be targets of the Scalper. Together they join forces to capture a serial killer who links himself with one of the most brutal killers of women of all time, Jack the Ripper. They are also forced to face demons from their own pasts. Scalper is a blend of humor, terror, and horror. Not only does Scalper give a unique look inside the lives of American truck drivers and their families, it's also the story of what lengths one man will go to save his family..
