    Thats false. I left the RG at 11:30 pm and people were lined up in front of the MC. I saw two Event staff people by the ticket office. I think theres overnight event staff for this event.

    I know you're pissed, but damn..if you camp out for 22 hours, you DESERVE tickets and its an added bonus for STH's. The Blazers are just taking care of their highest paying customers, like any business would do. Im a STH and am glad they did that, now my parents and grandparents get to enjoy Game 1 & 2.
    If camping out is not an option, then A) pay 60 bucks on stubhub of B) pay your friend to camp out for you.

    Its just Game 1 & 2 man, there will be other playoff games

    I got my playoff tickets for Game 1! Paid a hefty price online, but who cares! I'm stoked about going and avoiding the line!

    And now we see exactly why the Blazers are making it such a pain.

    Why are those people there? Only half of them will probably get tickets. There's only 1k per game, and a max of 4 tickets per person. So maybe half will actually get seats.

    I'm in that picture and anyone who showed up at 5am or earlier got tickets. It's possible the people who showed up even later got tickets. It was a total mess and the Rose Quarter will never do this a again, but all you people who said 1000 would be impossible for people to get were wrong. A ton of people got tickets, way more than I thought. They changed the rules and said each person could only get 4 total tickets, so that doubled the amount of people who could get tickets.

    If you lived in the area and you didn't get tickets, then you just didn't want it bad enough.

    From here on out, tickets will go on sale, internet only.
