Had a pretty fun filled weekend. me, missus and couple of friends drove down to New york just like that. We thought as we are getting bored on a long weekend, why not go and watch U.S Open!Crazy decision at the eleventh hour, but it was worth it.
we drove (actually one of our friends did the majority of driving for 12 hrs) 18 hrs in 2 days to and fro and watched the matches on Saturday for 8-9 hrs. What was bizarre about the whole trip was that we paid 240 bucks for a single $62 ticket. The ticketing company even provided us the shuttle to the stadium.
I thought selling tickets for more value at the eleventh hour was illegal, and that this used to happen only in India (before the multiplexes took over the business from single theatres). But I guess this business is pretty alive and thriving and very much legal here! and we curse our Indian system for corruption and black marketing.
The only difference is that I guess, those black ticket selling kids/men in India lack the sophistication and internet marketing techniques, else you would be buying your next khan movie or T20 tickets in the net!
probably the day is not too far, you never know.
cheers
