Just the Ticket
Just the Ticket is a 1998 American drama film directed by Richard Wenk. It stars Andy García and Andie MacDowell. Garcia was also the producer. The film was originally titled A Piece of Cake.
Gary Starke, desperate to get his girlfriend Linda back, goes to confession to seek guidance but doesn't get the help he seeks. He is a New York City ticket scalper who "works the street".
Linda won't take his calls, so Gary shows up at her sales job. He earns a dinner date with her by selling a 60-inch TV to someone who was only window shopping.
Gary plans to make one last big score: to win Linda back and straighten out his life. Believing his chance rests on an opportunity to scalp a large stack of tickets to see the Pope at Yankee Stadium. Gary comes up against 'Casino', a Florida scalper who undercuts him.
Meanwhile, at Linda's culinary course a New York Times food critic asks her to cater an upscale dinner party after trying her dish. So, instead of their date, Gary jumps in to help. She's way underpaid for the meal at the upperclass party, so they retaliate by ruining the dishes. That evening, they spend the night together.
The next day Gary is off seeking Pope tickets. He and the other scalpers get thrown in jail. While there, his scalper friends say that his lookout Benny Moran is unreliable, but he tells them Benny used to be in the corner for boxing champion Joe Frazier, and though they all had their money confiscated, Gary didn't because he hid his money in a tennis ball he'd been bouncing the entire time while talking to them, which he tells them was taught to him by Benny.
When Gary is released, he hurries to Linda's, only to meet Alan, an exterminator and her new boyfriend. He listens to advice from pregnant, ex drug addict 'Cyclops', to try to get a social security number. Unfortunately he can't without a birth certificate.
Gary finds Max offering 200 tickets for $5,000 if he can get it for Saturday. So he works hard scalping Broadway tickets. Caught by undercover cops, Casino helps out, warning that it's a one-time deal as it's his turf now and most everyone works for him.
