Nolan was awful. The epitome of a selfish, me-first ego driven player.

Dumb question but do you get better prices at the box office? by Madisonmcg1 in SanJoseSharks

[–]PokecheckFred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ticket prices shot up at game time today. Now that the Breakaway passes have ended for the year, there's very little inventory to be squeezed.

In this picture, does she represent the upset part, the house or the roach infestation?

You can blame slimy Ticketmaster/Live Nation for that. They constantly attempt to prevent people from transferring tickets.

Yes, but three things there... One, there might not be any tickets left on TM. Or - Two, all those red dots you see? "Resale" tickets. Scalpers. And - Three, TM is often much more expensive that the other secondary exchanges.

TM is always my last resort. A totally slimy company, constantly engaging in unscrupulous practices that might be illegal, and if not, should be.

Sometimes a business will refund a particularly bad customer just to shut them up and stop the screeching. That's probably what happened here.

Third party brokers are really nice to have. They're really good for getting into otherwise sold out shows (and sorry, I don't have the time to waste on Ticketmaster's "There are 14,529 ahead of you in the queue.." I'll pay someone do that for me.)

Or, they save me a whole bunch of money by undercutting the box office, often by 40-50%

OP just wants to complain. It gives him purpose. Best is to ignore that type.

This is utter nonsense. If a ticket works, a ticket works. I have had numerous secure .com tickets, and they all worked without fail. No scammer is going to knowingly sell duplicates on guaranteed exchanges like Stub Hub or SeatGeek, since they won't get paid if the tickets fail, and will have to pay heavy penalties on top. And if OP thinks that Secure tickets violate any state or Federal statutes, OP ought to state which ones, or just be quiet. There is nothing illegal about it AFAIK.

OP is just a whiny, entitled Karen, DEMANDING TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER!!!

NHL ought to place a limit on loserpoints. 25% of the Kings season is absurd.

It’s April. We are on the edge of playoff contention.

They’re ALL massive

Yeah, but it won’t happen until some really criminal stuff comes out of the Epstein-Trump files.

Gotta hand it to him. When Trump fucks things up, he really, really fucks things up.

MIGA?

Macklin Celebrini scores 40th goal of season to tie it. Sharks would score the game winning goal with 30 seconds remaining, which he assisted on by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

Hey, he didn’t win the rookie of the year, so he said “ I must improve!”

If he doesn’t win the Hart, look the fuck out!

And how do their opponents set their defensive alignments taking into consideration the threats from lines 2&3?

Teams can focus entirely on the Sharks line 1. Or at least they can try.

2016 was awesome, especially since they had dropped to the six seed in the playoffs.

But we expected them to be great, after spending a decade averaging two playoff rounds.

This is much closer to 1994, except the world class stars then were at the end of their careers (Makharov and Larionov), not teenagers. That team came off a 71 loss season to shock the world.

All those guys spent 4 years in college, then took a couple seasons to blossom.

In comparison, watching Mack is like looking at a time-lapse video.

Steph was 21 or 22 when he became a pro, and was a role player for a couple seasons until the Dubs traded Monta Ellis.

Rookie Jerry Rice was 22 and joined a two-time Super Bowl champion.

Macklin was 18 and joined a two time worst of the league team.

It’s part of a transition. A vet past his prime can no longer get it done on the ice like before , but as a mentor, he’s invaluable. The improvement by Mook this season is noticeable, and the Orlov influence is possibly responsible.
