Review & Description
Novelist and philosophy professor Clancy Martin (How To Sell, FSG, 2009) and television writer Hank Chilton (Nip/Tuck) go inside the life of Sunshine, a professional sports ticket scalper in San Francisco, in a revealing inside portrait of the business and its players.
Career scalper "Sunshine" lets authors Clancy Martin and Hank Chilton tag along for a busy weekend of events in the Bay Area, including a Giants' playoff game, Cal-Berkeley and Stanford football games, home games for both the Raiders and the 49ers, the San Francisco Air Show, Van Morrison and O.A.R. concerts, and an Ultimate Fighting Championship match in San Jose. While online services like Craig's List, StubHub, and Razorgator have changed the secondary ticket market forever, lifers like Sunshine maintain decades' worth of parking-lot wisdom and memorable anecdotes. For readers, the ticket buyer's tips alone merit the cost of admission. --Jason Kirk Read more
