I just readan article from the Rockie Mountain News called Anything for a Ticket by Sara Burnett. It talked about how people were trying to get tickets for the World series Rockies Vs. Boston game and they couldnt. One man said "They get to the World Series and they get greedy."Scalpers were selling tickets on site for $500 to $600 and thats about the same price as retail tickets but on e-bay or other sites tickets were being sold for even more. People were complaing that they have gotten other tickets for the rockies at the front ticket booth but now they cant. Police even sent all the ticket searchers home becuase it was creating a fire hazard. Others just stood out side and begged with signs. People dressed up dogs and others held up signs saying 2 tickets please. A young boy held a sign saying "Two little leaguers and their dad need tickets." Others sat on the computer or on a phone for hours waiting for tickets.

This relates to me becuase i have wanted tickets for games but havnt got them. I rather watch it on TV becuase there are always the fans that go a little to crazy and its annoying. But i can understand how frusterating it can be to either be on a phone or computer for up to 10 hours and then not get tickets, and then think that was a waste of a day.

This relates to the world becuase im sure in England or any Eroupian counrty has massive lines and the same thing going on the the world cup for soccer. Those fans are even crazier so im sure they could stay on a phone for days and wait online for days also. They probebly go through the same thing and some get shut down with no tickets and others come out lucky. They also have scalpers and people holding signs too just like us.

Personally I rather just watch on TV.
