Thanks for the links. The ticket market article is pretty cool. Reminds me of the fact that I still need to visit a game in the Allianz Arena. I once had access to 2 free tickets for a game against Borussia Dortmund but couldn’t attend because I had to take part in a baptism.
Thanks for the mattress-links. I have wondered for a long time how these mattress shops work. They are everywhere, you just have to pay attention. There were some eye-opening points, especially in the freakonomics-link.
