In Weaver v. Pasadena Tournament of Roses (1948) 32 Cal.2d 833, the court explained that while "the plaintiffs, and perhaps others who waited in line and were refused tickets of admission, have an interest in a common question of law, that is, whether the statutory recovery is authorized when an operator of a 'place of public amusement or entertainment' advertises 7,500 tickets for sale to the general public and then later, after selling only 1,500, closes the box office upon announcing that 'all of the available tickets had been sold,' " "the determination of such question in the present case would still leave to be litigated the right of any other person to recover on his statutory claim in the light of whether he, in reliance upon the advertised sale, stood in line, received an identification stub, was denied tickets before the promised 7,500 had been sold, presented himself at the Rose Bowl as a 'sober, moral person,' demanded admission, tendered the price, and was refused, entitling him 'to recover ... his actual damages' as well as the fixed statutory penalty of $100." (Weaver, supra, 32 Cal.2d at pp. 838-839.)
