    Just got back from the fan shop and already saw 5-10 people camping out for the box office..with 22 hours to go..WOW.
    I guess camping is allowed.

    That's crazy. I was thinking of going tomorrow at 6 a.m. right when they allow people to line up, but I imagine even that would be too late.

    I camped out at GI Joes for Finals tickets when we played the Bulls. I was first in line and waited 22 hours.

    Can't kick you off the sidewalk just outside the Rose Garden. That's where I had to wait for the WCF tickets back in 99-2000

    So there's going to be a foot race between hundreds of people to the RG ticket office at 6am? Sounds like lawsuits just waiting to happen.

    Yeah, what are the Blazers thinking? There will probably be a lot of pushing and shoving to get to the box office when 6 AM rolls around. Someone may get hurt or a fight may break out.

    They are not sold through outlets, on line, or over the phone.

    Guess I won't be coming to Portland for the playoffs like I did in past years. I really can't get 400 miles tomorrow morning.

    And that's what pisses me off. They're screwing anyone who isn't a STH or willing to take off work to stand in line...... or jobless.

    Well, if anyone's thinking of going tomorrow morning.... might as well forget it as there is already a line of a few hundred people down there as they said on the radio. They're taking names down there too so no one cuts in line. haha

    Most of those people down there are scalpers so if you're willing to pay...

    I'd rather watch at home where I can scream Houston Sucks without being threatened by police.
