The writing style reminded me of Tucker Max, and I haven't really even read Tucker Max. Maybe it's just the name "Max" that triggered the connection, plus Tucker Max is way more crass. At least Max Deale keeps it PG-13, and instead of screwing random drunk blonde girls, he's screwing ticket brokers and sometimes ushers, which is way more empowering and a style you can take home to mother.
Also, most of these moves are probably best suited for the 18-35 male[1]. (Max would probably admit as much.) A family of four probably won't be trying these anytime soon, so don't look to this book for advice. In that case, my personal suggestion — which is what I normally do in the summer — is to attend minor league baseball, which can be just as fun as the big league equivalent. For example, Saturday I went to a Lowell Spinners game and paid $11.50 for admission, a cheeseburger, a Diet Pepsi, and ice cream. $11.50 might be the final price for a ticket using Max Deale's moves to get into a Red Sox game an hour south of Lowell.
But the final message from him is that tickets are to be had and money is to be saved. If one tries any of these tactics so much as once, they basically saved money equivalent to the book, and then some.
Sold Out So What? is available on Amazon.com and Max Deale's website. I really don't know what to tell you if there are no more copies available.
1 - I say "male" not because girls couldn't run these plays. Max describes his girlfriend helping out in getting into some of these shows. But they don't need them. Since when does a single 18-35 female need anything more than a smile to get past an usher?
