Talk about greed. I am sure he was well compensated for being a top morning drive co-hist in the NYC market.

He could have avoided this by changing his name from Carton to Clinton.

He is a co-host with former NFL QBer Boomber Esiasion on the local sports station in NYC. They replaced Don Imus after his comment about the Rutgers women’s b’ball team.

The whole area of ticket re-selling seems to be a bottomless pit of messes.

This is big news in the NYC media today. The Boomer & Carton radio show on WFAN was apparently very popular, but Carton always seemed out of place on the air with a former professional athlete.
I can't say I'm surprised by this news. The guy always seemed like a stereotypical shady New Jersey jerk on the air.

I submit that face value of tickets is wildly overpriced which only encourages scalping.
As supporting evidence, I see the actual ISSUERS of tickets operating buyback and resale programs in an attempt to profit multiple times from the same ticket. This includes publicly funded universities.

My solution is that I just don’t buy tickets. So far, so good.

Since this thread is likely to attract NY’ers, I have a question for y’all.
Once upon a time, I was a co-op with I Big Monster in lovely Poughkeepsie (ugh), and back in 1989, there was a morning show on the NYC FM radio market with the usual yuk-yuk jocks, etc., but one of them did just an absolutely magnificent Bullwinkle impression.
I recall hearing two routines that really stuck in my mind, and really wish it were possible to find or hear them again somehow, or at least find out something.
The first, and probably best was a version of Bullwinkle doing “Stairway to Heaven”. The second was, ahem, a Bullwinkle themed phone ... ‘entertainment’ hotline, whose punchline was the phone number, 1-800-MOOSE-ME.
Do these ring a bell to anyone?

Not that Krispy Kreme Christie needs any more embarrassment these days....

The only good thing about Carton was his imitation of Susan Waldman.
He tried to be the new Mad Dog, but he was generally waaay too obnoxious. It's a wonder Boomer didn't slug him months ago.

The face value of ticket price s is wildly underpriced in relation to market values. That’s why callers exist. If they were overpriced scalpels couldn’t exist

The sports bubble is about to burst. With pro-ball and college tickets where they are at, it can’t help but collapse.

Most scalpers obtain tickets at well below face value.
To: sharkhawk
In addition, they shrink the pool, or ‘float,’ of available tickets greatly, thus decreasing supply. Price may rise to meet demand but only after they have introduced market distortion intentionally or otherwise.
