Governor Spitzer is leaning against renewing the state’s anti-scalping law when it expires in June, the New York Post reported yesterday. As the paper quotes the governor: “The reason the laws don’t work is it’s the only product I know where we are regulating the secondary market but we don’t set a price for the primary market. It makes no sense.” Well, it’s terrific to see Mr. Spitzer side with those who wish to buy World Series tickets or admission to a rock concert or a hot Broadway play or tennis match without standing in line or standing at the phone hitting the redial key over and over again. An expansion of the free market in New York to include tickets would be progress. Not least of the reasons for which is that free markets have a way of spreading.
