So last year, when I was fanatically following the Blazers around the country, I would get the very best seats I could get in each building. In Sacramento and in L.A. vs the Clippers, I was able to get Courtside seats. In the case of the Clippers, I was able to get courtside seats dead center. $1500 a seat. I took my brother to one game and my best friend to another.
Well, I had long ago purchased cheap seats to tonight's game, but after the Lakers game, I went online to see if those two courtside seats were available and they were! I wanted to buy them for me and my youngest brother, but he, my partner, and my oldest younger brother were adamantly against it since I am unemployed. So I tried over and over to convince them that I could afford it and that it would be no problem.
The tickets remained available online all day until 4:30pm at which point tickets cease to go onsale online and you must get them at the box office. So then, when we got to Staples, I decided that I was going to get the courtside seats. But THEY WERE GONE. I was pissed off. I ended up buying seats two rows behind those seats for only $550 each but I was still longing to be in the front row. And the seats were empty.... UNTIL... in walked Darius Miles and a friend. I went up to Darius and asked him about them, told him I wanted the seats, and he said he got them from Zach Randolph.
As for the game, I had a GREAT time. Was fun to see all the guys up close again. Said hello to Coach Bayno. Steve Blake. Travis Outlaw. Mike Barrett and Rebecca Haarlow from afar. And it was great to get a win.
Go Blazers
