When Should I Buy Tickets to an Event?
BY RICK GREEN
When my son, my wife, and I go to football games, we used to dread entering the stadium because of the ticket scalpers.
We already had tickets. We didn’t need tickets. But they didn’t know that, so they’d bellow, “TICKETS! WHO NEEDS TICKETS?! WHO HAS TICKETS TO SELL? WHO NEEDS TICKETS?!” To get the full effect, imagine that last sentence in a size 96 font.
Running the gauntlet of pushy, loud, hucksters, screaming in your face is more than a little annoying. I felt like I was in the football game, a running back trying to break through the defensive line. Without the actual contact. More like Flag Football. I’m digressing, aren’t I?…
