Haha. Funny. You know what? My neighbor is friends with Francis' wife, Ally, and they're having similar problems with trying to get tickets for his Canadian folk. The Rox staff (including players) have been allocated 6 tickets. It's unreal that the ace of the staff is online trying to get tickets!!
Im getting hate mail from ads I posted for the tix. I don't blame people for being irate. The Rockies hung their fans out to dry, and people selling the tix aren't to blame. However, maybe more people should've snatched up season tix. It wouldve been worth it to not pay scalpers prices to the WS. The Rockies' fans should be livid
I've spoken to about 50 people this afternoon & am finally putting the pieces together.
Everyone who has out of state friends & relatives has told me that the out of staters got tickets. I'm not talking about 1 block of 4...I'm talking 2-3 blocks for all 3 games.
It's all one big fucking scam. Tourism is huge here, and out of towners who fly in, fill up hotel rooms & eat out obviously pump much more $$$ into the local economy than the locals who go to the game & then go home. This explains why they were so dead set on not selling any tickets from the Coors ticket windows.
Nothing but one big fuck job & it's all about the benjamins.

Couldn't agree more. And Red Sox nation is deep and travels and PAYS. When the Sox played the Pads down here I scooped up a bunch of tix and made a lot of $$$ selling them to Sox fans. The Rockies fans are mad at the wrong people though. They shouldn't be mad at the scalpers charging fortunes for tix. They should be mad at their organization for their moves and should've had season tix. I know last yr when Chargers tix were hot everyone scooped up season tix so they would be assured of possible AFC Championship tix, and now every seat to every game is sold out this yr to season tix holders because of it.
It will be interesting Saturday night. This town is PISSED OFF, and it's only a matter of time until this point of view hits the mainstream media(but I kinda doubt that they'll run with it).
Don't be surprised if downtown Denver looks like the San Diego burbs around the time that the bars close Saturday night. Denver has always been "riot happy", and from what I've heard, riot has already been mentioned on a couple local boards.
This will be interesting

That is some sad shit there TT.. I see what your saying, it makes complete sence... Maybe you could get a bunch of people and take out a full page add in the Denver Post blasting them for this BS? Have someone get all your thoughts down and put it there for all to see, this will get "thier" attention.
