Is easy seat for real?

[8893]

I can only attend either today or tomorrow, and I've decided to keep my powder dry and go for tomorrow (God-willing and the creek don't rise...). But I've been watching the inventory and prices for both days on Easy Seat, Craigslist and the official XL ticketing site and I can tell you that there are a ton of tickets that are going to be dumped outside today. Looks like the Easy Seat folks are even putting up ads on Craigslist, as you can see a lot of overlap in prices and inventory. Now Craigslist is getting flooded with ads from "owners" (vs. "dealers") saying that they have tons of seats and can meet near the XL for easy pick-up.

All of which is to say, I am sure that there are tons of deals to be had on the street today.

The guy who is the staple of all UCONN ticket scalpers was lurking at the EasySeat ticket table in the Hilton yesterday.

You know the guy. He has the original tiiiiiiiiccckkkettttts voice.

Yes I know that guy.

Someone I work with got to the XL center at like 3:15 today and lots of scalpers selling for $60 -$100 range. He waited it out and got a free ticket! He is seated and ready for the Uconn game.

John Leary? Dude has been scalping since at least the mid-80s. Scummy as they come.

I feel like that guy is kin. Scalped my first ticket with him in 1989. He gives me a decent deal when I need - and if I gave extras I usually just give them to him as a professional courtesy.

No clue what is name is. But I imagine he holds the record for most UCONN games attended without having ever attended a UCONN game.
