		<description>Sorry you&#039;re having so much trouble trying to get tickets.  Here&#039;s an experiment to try:

Tomorrow, after all the tickets are gone and online ticket scalpers are selling them at outrageous prices that the ordinary fan can&#039;t afford, go to the different online ticket companies and see how many are selling the same seats.  

I tried to get tickets to the USC/Texas Rose Bowl, but no dice.  Found out several online ticket companies were selling the same sections, rows, even seats.  How can they sell something they don&#039;t own?  And who actually owns them?  Hmmmmm. . .

Oh. . .it&#039;s still not too late to be a Boston fan.  We&#039;ll let ya! :)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with you, Paul. 

I want to give the Montforts the benefit of the doubt - that their inexperience is the reason for this but it gets harder and harder to understand some of their decisions.

They did announce tonight at 8 pm - 10 hours later - that they will resume selling tickets tomorrow, Tuesday at noon...online only.

Another decision that doesn&#039;t put the fan&#039;s best interests at heart.  

What prevents this from happening again tomorrow?  What keeps the ticket scalpers buying all the tickets?

go Rocks, anyway.</description>
