Ticket Alert?

Are you kidding me? Brings me back to the days of "Blazer Cable" where you paid like 20 bucks to watch one game.

oh yeah, they want to charge $20 for this.

 

I dunno, twenty bucks for the whole season isn't too bad, as long as you end up using it, and maybe buying some Blazers swag.

*shudders* thanks for bringing up Blazers cable, I'd almost forgotten.

 

wait, wasn't blazer cable 27.95 or 34.95 PER GAME. Damn, and I'm bitching about 180 for the NBA League pass season.

 

Pfft! You should see the ticket prices for football matches!

 

I want to go to some. Manchester United: The Greatest Freakin' Team in All the Land! wooooooo!

 

You, and all the other bandwagon fans. It'll be hard.

 

It ain't hard when you have a stack o' money.

 

That's City thought too (you won't get this "joke").

 

damn british humour.

 

There is a club called Manchester City who just got bought out by some insanely rich Arab who owns some oil company, or a real estate business (not sure which). Anyway, he plans to buy all of the biggest names in football, but so far, he has been turned down by almost everyone.

Also, the area where City are from is called the Eastlands, but they cheekily renamed it the Middle Eastlands! Yeah................

 

Bump for a question:

Has anyone actually used/subscribed to this?

The reason I ask is that I can't find any 300 level single game tickets for sale on the website at all. Normally, I just find a pair on Craig's List, but trying to get 4 together for the whole family is a lot harder.

It seems to me the people most likely to use ticket alert would be scalpers. Does it allows you to buy the tickets released at the last minute before the general public?

 

Stubhub seems to be the easiest place to find them... of course, my sister-in-law ended up paying $30/ea for 4 $10 300 level seats... so you gonna get raped either way.

 

Yeah, Stubhub's fees are the worst...they require $16 Fedex...or you can pay $15 for the privilege of picking them up locally. Plus the 10% commission they charge...ug.

I wish I hadn't been broke when the season tix went on sale...by the time I could afford a package they were all sold out (except for the expensive sections). At least I'm willing to go to a dog of a game with the family to save money, probably end up seeing OKC...I save the good ones for myself
