thanksgiving weekend about 5 years ago we were playing the dolphins and I bought a pair of tickets 5 minutes after kickoff from a scalper for $30 (it was rainy and we sucked and there were lots of tickets). Get inside and we realize the tickets were about 10 rows apart (my bad, you always have to check this). I say f it, leave the stadium and go buy another pair of (decent) seats for $20.
As I'm buying the seats, I tell the guy I'm buying from about what just happened to me. And he says (without missing a beat) "Did you buy them from a (um, lets say .."scalper") and I didn't say anything and he says "I knew it...you can't buy from the "scalpers"...i gave him my $20, took my 2 tickets and walked into the stadium laughing at the whole situation on several different levels...
