    The title needs to be changed too. Basketball tickets are a luxury. A full season for those seats is below 2k and renewal was only a few months ago. The economy that has been in suppossed shambles for awhile now cannot be blamed for not being able to come up with a couple of hundred dollars a month all of a sudden.

    Can I suggest a new title?

    I'm with you. In fact I just moved for this upcoming season and the best part of the move for me was not moving closer but I'm now on the isle. I can get beers or take a piss in no time.

    So the prices he quotes, are they the same prices you pay for your tickets?

    Real fans don't pee during the games.

    You never see PA getting up to pee during the game. He sits there holds it!

    You never see PA with a beer in his hand either. Personally, I'm double fisting those beers and have the bladder of a 3 year old girl. :D

    PA probably uses a colostomy bag, so he doesn't need to get up.

    As for the price, sounds about right, roughly 1900 for the whole season, so his 950 for a half is legit, purple section ticket price.

    Is this maybe the same poster who created a new screen name to ask for advice about the girl he thought he knocked up?

    I guess he's either found a buyer, or isn't really interested in selling them after all.

    I still want to know what row.

    No way the guy ever sits there - he's a scalper who is looking for someone to share the holding cost, while he keeps all the rights until the Blazers go on their title run. Then he ditches any "partners" he picks up along the way and cashes in with exorbitant prices on the street.

    Hey . . . anyone want to share my season next year? Guaranteed (one) playoff tix! Right on the fricken' FOUL LINE! These are better than Monty Williams' seat! Did I mention they are on THE FOUL LINE? You can't even get t-shirts here you're so close (they'd take your head off)!

    Do you have any that are DEAD CENTER on the FOUL LINE? Because free throws don't look good, especially if you are a DEAD CENTER on the FOUL LINE.
    DEAD CENTER on the FOUL LINE for GOVERNOR.

    Looks like we are too immature and skeptical for his taste. Hope he manages to survive these tough economic times.

    I have no pity for those who buy Blazer tickets (or any sports teams season tickets) and then have to worry about paying for those unnecessary finances when things get tough. It's a privilege not a right.

    Manage your money better.

    Wah, help me justify spending money that I can't afford. Wah. (say the 'wah's' in a Stewie Griffin voice)

    Looks like you have never had tickets that were DEAD CENTER. If you had, you would understand why they are more important than buying bread.

    you bring up a good point. DEAD CENTER would be worth having to forgo on the kids getting shoes, or new clothes. :)
