In-laws thought they'd do something nice for my upcoming birthday and bought two lower-level seats for tomorrow night's game on some off-brand resale site with very checkered online reviews (basically a fledgling start-up by the guy who started SeatGeek, I think). They paid way too much but surprisingly, the tickets came through yesterday morning and I have them via TicketMaster.
My in-laws thought it would be cool for me to see Cooper Flagg's first-ever game against the Spurs, since that's my team. My wife told them not to buy the tickets but they went ahead and did it anyway. Hell, I'd rather they spend a grand and given my wife and I tickets on the glass for a Stars game. We actually already had tickets to a concert that night that I'd rather be at anyways. I wouldn't have paid anywhere near this much to see the Spurs play the Mavs here in Dallas. I could give two shits about Flagg.
I've got the tickets listed online and hope they'll sell. Just trying to get close to face value for the tickets -- even though that's probably a coupled hundred less for the two than my in-laws paid. If they don't sell, guess I'm skipping the concert with my wife and going to the game with my 17-year-old son, who isn't much of a sports fan.
