So, you want a ticket for the Big East semifinals...

I'm in NYC and settling in.  For kicks, I'm trolling craigslist.com for a ticket for tonight.  I saw a listing for a lower level ticket.  I sent the guy an email with an offer of $100.  I kid you not ~ the man called me in less than 2 minutes.  Turns out that I had read his post too quickly, and he was selling his ticket for tomorrow's game.  Oh well.  He did tell me that he had a ticket for tonight, but ended up selling it for $80.  Good to know, that at $100, I would've overpaid....

Tonight's going to be a good night!!! 

(22) Georgetown and Marquette tip at 7 EST, and
ND and (6) WVU tip at 9 EST...

Oh, here's another listing that made me laugh...  No idea who posted it, but he's a man after my own heart!

Big East - $1

hahahahahahahaha - all you ridiculous scalpers and brokers must be crying in your pocket change today. Pitt, UConn, Cuse, Nova - the 4 biggest crowd draws all gone.

Can someone send me an email for lower level loge seat for $250+ tonight so I can laugh like crazy this morning?

For those of you trying to get tickets for tonight that are unaware of the market.......go to the Garden and get them outside. They are plentiful and cheap. Sub face is achievable and that will get you good seats. I paid $40 last night for a seat in section 120. Face of $55.

But honestly guys, keep trying to buy all the tickets and create a fake market with outrageous prices attached to them.....u will succeed in one thing.....making sure the Garden has about 12K in attendance tonight.


Hahahahahahaha. Clowns

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

I have no idea where these ticket brokers are living (i.e.  my guess is Fantasy Land) or what drugs they're on, but there's no way they're going to get $350 for a lower level ticket.  Rainy day in NYC, so I'm hoping the scalpers want to get out of the rain. I'm rocking a pony-tail so rain isn't going to hurt me... I have nothing but time to negotiate... Wish me luck ~ I have to head to The Garden "soon" :-P
 
I predict Georgetown wins the Big East Tourney tomorrow.
