    I need tickets to the baseball World Series!

    I see some for $1200 each but how do you know you won't get ripped off? I want to take my son so I need 2. That's a lot of money. Does anyone have Railbird's email?

    Come on, you're SBR John. Surely you'd be able to hustle a few tickets.

    Maybe you could make a deal with Illusion. I think he's more excited about those Prick shirts than he is about the World Series.

    Give Tej a call - tell him that a few WS tickets would get them a A- rating.

    And then stiff him.

    I've used stubhub before.

    Illusion you pick up your stubhub tickets at that little Pizza joint?


    I tried to get WSox tickets. They went on sale at 12 noon. I was calling on two phones and trying over the computer.

    Finally I get on over the computer. It says my wait is 15 minutes then 14 all the way down until I get in.

    I asked for the max of 4 tickets. I get a note that says sorry we cannot find 4 tickets together. I think if I had asked for 2 I would have gotten them.

    I don't have John's money so I'm not going to pay the ticket brokers.

    My friend bought a season ticket package and offered me two tickets to game one for face value. (and I have to pay for all of the beer)

    I also tried the other day getting tickets. We had five phones going along with three computers. I got the same messages as you. You enter that stupid word then get a hold screen. I tried for one hour with no luck. I'm just lucky I have great friends.

    The only playoff games I have been to in any sport were the '97 eastern conference finals and game four of the finals in '98 (Bulls 96-54 record setting win against Utah)

    No luck yet although I did scoop some sweet 40 yrd line Longhorn tickets which I either got scammed on or will hit my door via fedx in about 2 hours.

    Since Houston is about 4 hours from me I think me and my boy will just hop in the 1999 LeSabre and get there early and hold up 2 fingers and try to buy some from the scalpers. I'm thinking that could be some fun.

    john, i thought you were going to trade in your 1999 LeSabre on a 1976 pink gremlin with a green racing stripe. let me guess, JJ bought the car right under your nose.

    I think JJ has a van. Ya know, I'm fine with my Olds. I know russ has a lamorghini that tej bought him and Rx marty has a mercedes and I think the shrink has a hummer. Everyone else at SBR has some kind of truck and I'm talking about the huge dbl cab 4x4's. I'm not kidding either. The 3 SBR managers drive big black trucks, me and Bill have regular cars.
