Cadbury heads a huge Brit
ish company that has no
counterpart here, although 1t
bears some family resemblance
to all the little broker offices
where people hurry for last
minute tickets.
Cadbury, and smaller similar
firms, provide stable weekly
guarantees on shows that they
decide will be popular. Instead
of investing they promise to
sell a goodly quota Of tickets
and the effects keep many
arrangements happy.
