Wonderful story in the LA times about how the "Emporer's

Oh this could be fun...

"There are no refunds or exchanges, but diners can sell their tickets and
then transfer them on the Trois Mec site."

I think some enterprising scalpers are going to have a field day with this.

Hello eBay & Craig's List!

Alinea in Chicago has used a ticketing model for a while now. A
quick look at Craigslist and Ebay suggests that scalping isn't an
issue.

That could be because the ticket prices are already
higher than the market wants.
