FREE TICKETS to tonight's game vs. WARRIORS! PM Me!

[veronicamae]

Tickets no longer available!

First one to PM me w/ their email address gets my two tickets for the game tonight!

Sec 223, Row 8.

[Horry For 3!]

Why didn't you post this way before 30 mins before game time?

[veronicamae]

Because someone else had committed to buying them but then never got back in touch with me before I had to leave work.

Also, because I was at the gym from 5 - 6:30.

btw, didn't you question me last time I did this? this happens to me a lot because something will come up at the last minute and i can't go, so i have to give them away right before the game so they don't go to waste. if it's a bother to you, i guess i can just never give them away to anyone...

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Bummer, gotta' get up early to take my mom to the airport. So that's a no-go.

[ALVAREZ6]

Can't believe no one's taking them yet, I would If I lived in San Antonio.

[Emanuel20]

me too

[veronicamae]

Last time I did this, no one asked for them until about the time of tip-off. go figure.

[ATX Spur]

It's unfortunate that someone backed out on you. But it's good that you're at least trying to put the tickets to use. I'm not in Texas right now, or I would totally take you up on it.

[veronicamae]

aw, all these fans who want them and none of you are in town! that's so murphy's law. :(

[veronicamae]

anyone?? my gosh! free tickets people! center court! on the aisle! 8th row! right by the escalator! right by pizza hut! right by the atm & bathrooms! these are choice seats, people!! lol

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Honestly, I don't see the big deal with going to the game.

Unless you're in the 2nd row and have a great seats, just chill at home and watch it on TV and order in some good food. The last game I went to was Game7 vs. the Mavericks...which was a great game to be at. But regular season game against the Warriors? Eh.

[veronicamae]

Well, 18,797 people enjoy going to the games so you're pretty alone in your sentiments lol. Sometimes it's nice to get out and go to a game. Also, I think most people would disagree that it's only worth it if you have charter seats.

If the stadiums full, sure.

But still 18,000 is about 1.2% of 1.5 million...which is SA's population. So I wouldn't say I'm "pretty alone" in my sentiments. ;)

Being that the AT&T Center can only hold 18,797 people, it's impossible to say that more people would not go. How many people used to go to the games at the Alamodome that held what, twice that? ;)

[ATX Spur]

Sometimes it's fun to scream like and idiot for the Spurs with a few friends in your living room, and sometimes it's fun to do the same with 19,000 people.

I don't remember but I was just wondering why wouldn't you post it before 30 mins before game time. That doesn't leave much time. Yet, it is a good justure so do what ya want I guess.

[veronicamae]

I know - had I not been holding out for someone to pay for them, I'd have posted them sooner. I wish I'd known. :\

That and not everyone can afford Spurs tickets. Last I heard, San Antonio was still one of the top US cities with the number people living below the poverty line.

The Alamodome didn't frequently sell out.

So let's say you're right, Alamodome had almost double at a little under 40,000. That's still 2.6% of 1.5 million. Which is our population.

I wouldn't go to a non-playoff game where I had to pay unless it was against a team I cared to see play. See: Lakers, Heat, Mavs, Detroit etc. The rest of the teams are not worth my time/effort/money...but I don't mind sitting on my couch and watching.

[veronicamae]

well that's great. someone shows interest in them and because it's after tip-off, i can't email them to anyone.

*grumble*

well if they can pick up the tix from me then yay. stupid ticketfast....

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Oh, I know. :D

If you read my first post, I said I would take them but I have to be up early tommorrow. I would take almost anything for free. My point was simply I think paying for non-meaningful games is something I would not do.

I share almost exactly your sentiments. But I also understand that not everyone shares my opinion about which Spurs games to go to.

for the record, i'm a girl. lol

Explain how this relates to poverty numbers? Or anything related to the disposable income that would be necessary to be able to purchase sports tickets?

=/ Damn, I need to look at links closer.

I did a google search for "poverty line" "san antonio" and "ranking" and that popped up. I should've looked a little closer before using it as a source. :D Let me find a more credible link.

Ok, so San Antonio is 28th. Link (http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Products/Ranking/2003/R01T160.htm)

It's okay, I'm doing the research myself.

Not that I'm eager to find info in the affirmative about my hometown.

Well the reason I did it in the first place, is because it didn't sound true.

Living in this city after living in Chicago for 10 years, everythings very different. Much better that is. The lifestyle, the cost of living, the way people treat you and what not. Overall San Antonio seems like one of those nice city's old people go to retire to...

Not one that is 'near the top' as far as percentage of people below the poverty line. =/

[Kori Ellis]

Man, I've never seen people give someone such trouble from trying to give away tickets. Next time, why don't y'all just shutup if you don't have something nice to say or want the tickets.

[ShoogarBear]

*grumble*

well if they can pick up the tix from me then yay. stupid ticketfast....Are these season tickets? If so, FYI, what I've done in the past is e-mail the .pdf files to myself before the deadline. Then if someone wants them after the deadline, I can just forward them directly without going through the site.

According to this SA is the 28th in percent below the poverty level. But remember that San Antonio is the 7th most populous city in the US.

18.5 percent of San Antonio is many more people than, say, 20.6 percent of #18 Stockton, CA.

Yes, but percentage wise it is still 28th.

My original point was in regards to percent of our population that goes to a home game. But to humor you, let's take out that 28% from the running...that leaves 72% of 1.5 million which is still about 1.09 million people that are not below the poverty level that passed up on available tickets to a home game. That's still ALOT of people. So I wouldn't say I am "pretty alone" in my sentiment.

You're right, that's still alot of people. Which is why I said on the last page that this was your preference, and that some would agree with you and some wouldn't.

But I wanted to encourage someone being nice enough to offer her tickets when she couldn't attend the game. I hope someone is nice enough to do it again when I'm in town...they definitely wouldn't go to waste. :fro

Just not in finals week, and the night before I have to get up early to go to the airport.

Pretty smart idea.




Anyways thanks, Veronica, for offering them to the ST community. :toast

Neither are those 18,797. ;)


Anways, I'm not trying to get on your case. :D I would have taken you up on the offer, but only because they're free. My point was simply some home games are just not worth paying for.

[ashbeeigh]

I would have totally taken them, but I live an hour away and it would have been nearly the 3rd quater by the time I got there. Whenever you give away your tickets veronicamae, I think its a good thing. Don't put up with haters.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

What the fuck? Everybody bitching at veronicamae in this thread deserves to be slapped.

She offered tickets for free. God, you're so fucking ungrateful.

[SequSpur]

Just pm me next time and I'll put the tickets to good use or find someone for you.

Comments like this are why I took time out during the game from the AT&T Center to come tell you guys to shutup. If you don't want the tickets, that's fine, no reason to post. Next time there is a ticket thread, you and Horryfor3 should just not click on it. Because you won't like the timing, the seat locations, blahblahblah.

Just learn to shut up.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

You would think HF3! wouldn't pass up the chance to look at male athletes' asses.

[MannyIsGod]

Are these motherfuckers for real?

[SpursDee]

:spin I just got back from the game. It was definitely fun to be there!

Thanks so much for the tickets, veronicamae!

[veronicamae]

you're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!!

and yeah, all you haters are just jealous that you couldn't go to the game! or something...lol! no hard feelings to anyone, though it's a bit annoying to hear someone say it's worthless to them to go to a regular season game unless the can sit on the floor. i like my balcony season tickets, tkseversomuch!

Real mature, Kori. Did you ready any of my posts talking about how I would like to go? But that due to certain circumstances I can't? This is a forum, she made a thread. I posted.


I don't think I was rude, a prick, or said anything that deserved for me to 'just shut up'. If you think so, that's on you.

She thought you were rude, I thought you were rude, everyone thought you were rude.

You basically shit on the idea that anyone would pay for tickets other than the specific teams you would like to pay for. It's annoying and obnoxious.



Honestly, I don't see the big deal with going to the game.

^ She seemed to semi-agree with what I was saying. Why are you getting on my case?

The topic maker, me and Atx seemed to be having a pretty decent civil discussion until you popped in with:

Haha e-posse.

It's your style. Your style is obnoxious and rude. Just because I pointed it out to you doesn't mean that I'm the first one who thought of it. Look at ATX's style, much different than your obnoxious self. The girl who posted the thread thought you were rude far before I ever said anything.

Basically the deal is, she's looking to get rid of her tickets. If you don't want her tickets, then don't post in the thread. No reason to come in and try to convince people why they shouldn't want her tickets. And how the game is no big deal and no one should want to go.

See, your standards aren't everyone else's standards. Some people love to see games live and it doesn't matter if it's the Raptors and the last row in the balcony.

Maybe you should just ignore this thread like you did everybody at the GTG.

And you know, we were enjoying the game experience in the blog, we don't hang around your posts.

Minor typo, but that probably changed the way people read that post. =/ I was talking about certain home games in general, which includes the Warriors. But I wasn't exclusively dissing this home game or in any way discouraging people from taking her tickets. I just made a general comment, in a thread that a little bit to do with the topic.

I was under the impression that's what forums are for?

I just said I wouldn't pay for it. I don't think I'm the only one in SA who feels that way. I'd definately take them for free though.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

What an asshole.


1) I never said you guys hang around my posts. Good for you. You have a life. Congrats.

2) I ignored everybody at the GTG? Lmao. I showed up and from the get go it was like 'I can't believe this motherfucker showed up". You never bothered to say one word to me, and I did the ignoring? I just sat there and watched the game and talked to Kori...who was the only person who bothered to even talk to me. You're telling me I ignored people? Lol...all ya'll niggas know eachothother. It should be YOUR responsibility to feel like you should be more welcoming to new people who are there by themselves.

[Kori Ellis]

Okay, so you didn't exactly mean what you said.

I guess the thread is over then. Next time, try to act a little more polite when someone is trying to just be cool giving away tickets (or even selling them).

(And I agree more people should have talked to you at the GTG, but you didn't talk to them either -- goes both ways. Not everyone knew each other, some other people were new too).
