Sale of principal&#39;s tickets by an agent above face value
<p>If a ticket seller who is engaged as the agent of a production company (principal) sells some of the tickets at a higher price than the production company sets and pockets the difference, can the production company recover some of that money?</p>

<h2>Yes</h2>
<p>Subject to their contract, all earnings of an agent (employee or otherwise), belong to the principal. This is a well established common law principle dating back to the 18th century.</p>
