ticket speculator

ticket speculator
A person who sells theater or other tickets at an advance over the price charged by the management. Speculation of this kind frequently leads to abuse, especially when the seating capacity is filled and but few tickets are left, so that extortionate prices may be exacted. Collister v Hayman, 183 NY 250, 76 NE 20.
