They said it will be refunded, but will take up to 10 days, and I have yet seen anything in my email or account that confirms it will be canceled. Last time ever.

Screw it. I bought a cheap one to get me in the door and I'm sitting in the one I originally bought. Let em move me.

Nice move.  Same seat, less money.

Upon further review should have cut them loose last night, wouldn't have mattered.

Judging by the results, I'm not sure they didnt.

Ok this is the last thing I'll say about this before I burn it from my hippocampus for all eternity (drunk off my ass if it isn't obvious). It wasn't as easy as just taking my seat. There was a lounge security entrance thing at the front of sectionbl 5 and 6 (looked like a damn nightclub). Lady at the entrance asked to see my ticket and I showed her the receipt for the original ticket that started this whole $h1t*0w. Played dumb when the said that wouldn't work and she needed a qr code (which I never got). She called the manager over and he told me he needed to see the code that let me through the gate (it was a qr code for an upper deck ticket I bought just to get in, but I wasn't about to show them that). Played dumb and pissed, while showing them the screenshot of my $3k receipt. Guy asked how did you get in, that won't clear you through the gate. I told him that's what I got because I can't seem to pull up the Axs app with the reception here. He said "screw it, I'll let you in to the bar area till you find the qr code." I said thank you and made my way to my seat when he wasn't looking. Made a quick wardrobe change (took off my glasses and hat,l and put on a facemask) and sat there till somebody came.
Turns out the guy that had the ticket was a scout for the warriors (more on that later). He showed me his axs app, I showed him my screenshot of a receipt for a ticket that was now defunct. He told me we could clear it up with the ushers, but I told him I would just slide down to an open seat and see if anybody shows up. Turns out nobody did. So I sat in a $3k seat for $100 and talked it up with an NBA scout while we both watched the most craptastic game in the ncaa tournament to date. */csb* Screw stubhub. I'm passing out now.

This afternoon when you wake up you'll have to tell us what you remember about his draft thoughts on our players.

When I watched the game there were sections completely empty. We're these the seats you tickets that got tickets through axs or stub hug had but didn't get the seats?
Yep. I'm not trying to be a dick about it. It could have lived. It didn't. Not by my choice. -Elvis

Gonzaga and UCLA fans may have been still out to dinner or at the tables.

did y'all not think it was weird or were all the sections empty just too expensive? It was odd

I was too traumatized from the violence and bloodshed on the court to notice the stands.

Those seats were the allotment to the other two schools. When you buy a ticket for all sessions, that's literally what it means. You're buying for all 3 games that weekend. Obviously Gonzaga and ucla didn't care to watch our game and very few sold to people that did. Can't really blame them after the performance we put on.

So I asked him who he was there to see primarily and he said there were a few prospects, but mentioned AB specifically. Said he really liked his game. I asked him if the TO's were concerning (that he was good for at least one wtf play every game). He said that he wasn't because that stuff can get ironed out, but his size is something you rarely see in a pg and that he just makes other people around him better. I told him that he also has about as much heart and toughness as anybody, playing with several nagging injuries throughout the year. He said "really?" and looked surprised like he didn't know that (which was surprising to me for a scout not to know that about a guy that's high up on their board supposedly). I told him that it's seemed to hamper his penetration lately. He loved how he finishes at the rim and isn't afraid to compete for boards amongst the trees. I pointed out how active his hands are on the defensive side (then he went on to make several steals throughout the game).

For the other players I asked him about:
NSJr- Lukewarm. Haven't seen enough of him
Davis-undrafted. Maybe a shot to prove himself in G league
Walsh- definitely needs another year
Council- Too inconsistent and jittery on offense. Needs to settle in and work on his shot. Makes too few to be shooting that much.

He didn't want to say it, but outside of AB, he was much more impressed with the uconn guys.

Even "inside" of AB, I was much more impressed with the UConn guys.
