why was I able to find not one, not two but three sets of two at 1:30 pm?
I did not plan on buying tickets or better put I did not get my hopes up since only 500 were reported to go on sale. Not only did I not get my hopes up I actually forgot to check at noon. At 1:15 my friend from College Station calls me asking me if I got them...I had no idea what he was talking about. He said he was able to get a pair of tickets at noon. I of course felt the fairweather fan.
After we spoke, I decided to check out spurs.com just for the heck of it. Sure enough in the first or second attempt I got a hit. Two tix for $79 each. I figured what the hey and started filling out my info as fast as possible. Of course I end up hitting enter by accident and have to start again. I finished and hit buy but by then too much time had passed and they were lost. I tried and tried for a handful of times before I got a hit on $110( I believe). I thought about it for a sec and decided against it and pressed my luck. Sure enough after a few tries I hit a pair of $39 seats. This time since my acct info had gone through the first time all I had to do was submit my authorization and viola.
I was more than glad but puzzled there would be at the very least three pairs of seats. I don't know if the fans stayed away or the Spurs fibbed about the amount available?
Oh well :elephant
