Roderick Cardwell owns Ticketworld, which sells tickets to entertainment and sporting events to be held at locations throughout the United States. Ticketworld's Massachusetts office sold tickets to an event in Connecticut to Mary Lou Lupovitch, a Connecticut resident, for 125$ per ticket, although each ticket had a fixed price of 32.50$. There was no aagreement that Ticketworld would bear the risk of loss until the tickets were delivered to a specific location. Ticketworld gave the tickets to a carrier in Massachusetts who delivered the tickets to Lupovitch in Connecticut. The state of Connecticut brouht action against Cardell in a Connecticut state court, charging part a violation of a state statute that prohibited the sale of a ticket for more than 3# over its fixed price. Cardwell contended in part that the statute did not apply because the sale of Lupovitch involved a shipment contract that was formed outside the state. Is Cardwell correct? How will the court rule? Why?
