and for the $55 you pay for ticket (or whatever) that's a LOT of nickel beers.

They let people get up to 4 tickets this year. Last year it was 2. Hence the fact they went fast and people are already trying to sell them for crazy prices like douchebags.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

for me, going to the draft itself was less interesting than following it on TV. With TV you get more background and stories and rumors, etc.

Yeah, last year was the first time I went and it wasn't as good as I expected. The thing I like about it though is I work on West 34th so I'm right near MSG during the week and it was fun to meet up with a couple of friends and get a good buzz going before going to the actual thing live. Lol, getting interviewed by some Boston reporter about the Gallo pick was pretty funny too.

Oh well, will just go to a bar instead and watch it there.

I cursed out a guy on Ebay. Dude bought 10 tickets and is selling them for $100 each.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

haha good stuff, I can't believe they upped it to 4 tix each

that was retarded especially since they should have anticipated more people knowing about the all-access thing this year

i think we should set up a UK meetup at a sports bar & watch the draft... or at someone's crib so we can hear all the commentary & crap.

That sucks, I never got the box then. I used the same link (the one from the email).

Oh well, hopefully prices drop on stubhub (I think last year the lowest they got to was around $55).

Wow, that seems severely overpriced to me.

Yeah $55 is way too much. Don't get me wrong, being at the draft is fun, but you miss out on a lot too. They don't report trades/rumors till like 15 minutes after everyone else at home knows. So unless you are browsing the internet on your phone, you kind of miss out on a lot of information.

I think me and some friends will just meet up at ESPN Zone and watch it there, will probably be more fun anyway.

Yo s3231, you said last year's prices went down to $55 but were they sold? Don't these dudes have to unload the tickets to make some sort of profit or do they not care and just give the tickets away to their family/go themselves if they can't sell them? I mean as the day approaches, they should try and lower them to get something, even a $5 profit. Or are they just that greedy? The ticket broker on Ebay definitely wont go to the draft seeing as though he has 9 ****ing tickets in different areas. He's gonna have to drop the prices really low, don't you think? Or does he not care because he wont lose much money anyway?
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

No clue if they sold or not, just remember that tix were getting cheaper as the draft was approaching. If they couldn't sell them, they probably just ended up going to the draft themselves.

BTW, congrats on getting the tix!!
