Is there an ordinance regulating the wording of their scalping request? Did they have a national convention and come to a nationwide consensus as to what should be printed on the little signs?

2) Why are the little signs saying "I Need Tickets" always hand-written on torn-off cardboard box flaps. Are they prevented from using paper or poster-board?

I was laughing my ass off reading your post because it is so true. When I worked at the Pond I saw these guys with the torn off box flap "I need tickets" every night.
