PBA tickets

I went to the Araneta box office yesterday to get tickets. The man in front of me got an Upper Box A ticket with his senior citizen discount. The man behind me was in line with his kid, also going to watch the PBA games. When I got to the booth, I asked the lady at the counter if there were still lower level (lower box, patron) tickets available. She said there were none left, but I asked her to check again. Turns out there were still six courtside tickets available for sale. So that’s how I ended up with courtside seats for the game tonight.

PBA commish should take a look at the selling of tickets seriously because it's the integrity of the league that it's at stake. Basketball enthusiasts who's only time to buy tickets is on the very day of the game have to queue in order to purchase tickets but there were limited tickets left, only to see scalpers roaming around the area. As a result, they have to shell out more what is more than they budgeted. It doesn't need for NBI to investigate how these people bought so many tickets if connivance didn't exist and it's not just 5 or 10 people that I'm talking here but more. Very the same face every playing date selling scalped tickets. Wow! Are these superheroes that securities and officials can't recognize them? One time at the Cuneta Astrodome, my family have to wait in a long, slow moving line just to buy tickets, then, as we we're near the ticket booth, we saw a man in PBA uniform coming in and out of the gate with tickets in his hand. This official, right in front of us in line, sold the tickets to the very same scalper who approached us. We keep on complaining to some officials but fell on deaf ears as if telling us that these activities happened normally every playing day. There's an impression that some higher officials knows this because so many years have passed and still scalpers still abound. There must be a "mafia" operating in the PBA.
