I got one

So last night i couldn't go to sleep for some reason. I finally went to sleep around two in the morning. The next day i woke up at six thirty in the morning i don't know how but i did, got dressed and went out to wilder tower. when i got there there was nobody there i taught maybe i was crazy or something . I didn't think the doors were open until i saw someone that went in. I went inside and there it was what i was expecting people sitting down waiting to get tickets for the Tennessee game. I didn't know how many were in front of me but i knew it definitely was not three hundred and twenty five which was the number of tickets they had to sell. I sat down and started to fall asleep... now to give you and idea i got there at six forty in the morning the cops where there just checking that nobody cuts in line or that people save places to friends. While i was there this guy came to talk to the people in front of me i was listening to the conversation they were having and he was actually number two in line he said that he got there at FOUR in the morning. That is ridiculous just to get one ticket, what is even more ridiculous is that people payed their Friends to stand in line with them to get to tickets. This guy in front of us payed his friend twenty five dollars to stand in line and buy him a ticket. After about three hours in line I finally got to the window to get a ticket before I even left the building this guy walked up to me and asked me if I bought a Tennessee ticket. When I said yes he told me that he would pay me one hundred dollars cash for it, but I had to say no because the ticket was for someone important. It was tough but i manage to survive the chaos.

Wow. I find it so hard to believe that people are going that insane over a basketball game. Maybe I am just crazy or something, but then again who cares, I can get in free if I want! I just may take advantage of That opportunity of free games more often. I bet it was so hard for you to resist that hundred dollars!!

Whoah, that's insane.

One hundred bucks? In cash? Now that's a tempting offer, but you made the right choice :).

It would take a lot more than 25 bucks to get me to stand in line for hours XD. Or to get anywhere at 4 in the morning. This sounds like trying to get a Wii or something :/.
