Just kind of funny story troutman to share:
Went down recently to Phoenix. The main intent was to take my family to the Suns and Lakers game. However, we decided to go to the Stars and Phoenix game for something to do on a Saturday Night. Never purchased tickets before the game, because we thought this should be a slam dunk. Was approached by a scalper for 5 tickets $70/seat. Thought to myself well I'll just go to the ticket window and pick them up atleast I know they won't be conterfeit. Ticket Window sorry sold out, all we have is $40.00/person standing room only. I politely said no thank you, as I had my 10 year old boy with me and I don't think I'd pay $40/person to stand and watch a hockey game. Anyways, not sure if this was just a one off type of night or what was going on.
