LeJerk Visits the Garden

This past Friday Lebron James and the Miami Heat paid a visit to Madison Square Garden for the first time since Lebron and Chris Bosh opted to team up with Dwayne Wade and take their talents to South Beach. As a sports enthusiast I wanted to go to this game and check out Lebron and company. I scoured Stubhub and Ticketmaster for tickets but I could not find anyway, so I decided to go to Craigslist and see what I could find. After hours of searching I decided to buy tickets from an anonymous seller who claimed he had two tickets in section 107 row 3 for $225 per ticket. The person I went with and I handed over $450 dollars to the sellers messenger who then handed us the tickets. After the messenger had left, I began to inspect the tickets and they looked a little "suspect." However, I went to the Garden walked up to tower C got to the ticket scanner and handed him my ticket. He put his scanner up to it and I was informed that my tickets were fake. Was I shocked? No, I believed that there was a 50-50 chance that the tickets were real. I think my desire to go to the game overtook my common sense. I should I have realized that this tickets were fake, when tickets in sections nearby were selling for $600 dollars per ticket online. I ended up spending close to $600 dollars that night after I elected to go out for a nice dinner to drain away my anger for handing away $225 dollars. The moral of the story here is avoid Craigslist when buying tickets to any sporting events. Cheers and happy holidays
