Who shows up to a World Series game thinking that maybe there’s an unsold or unclaimed ticket at the gate?

Is that a thing?

Here's what I heard on talk radio this morning. She was at the ticket booth saying surely somebody won't show, put me on some kind of list, I'll wait ... Then Bill Murray walks buy and says "Here's a ticket ..." and she thinks it's just a ticket to get in, but no, it's a $15k ticket to hang out with Murray and the stars all night, an Amazing story .. To think of all the big shots he could have given that ticket to but it hands it to some women outside basically pleading for a ticket

Does Bill Murray have a habit of walking around with sports event tickets that he gives away?

It would be interesting to hear the Paul Harvey version of this story.

I take it you never made it to a Grateful Dead show?

Do you really think that if Kissenger decides at 4PM he wants to go to the game, that the management couldn't accommodate him? Most of the time Kissenger has something else to do so his tickets become available.

I don't do it so much anymore, but tickets are always available at events like this. 50,000 people have tickets and some get sick or something comes up and they ask a friend who is going to sell their ticket(s). I drove from 100 miles away to see the final game of the 1969 Series and got a pair of tickets at face value in time to call my father and tell him to come join me at the ballpark.

Concerts are much tougher because there are usually fewer than 4000 tickets available. But I usually have no trouble getting a ticket for these either. (On several occasions people have just given me a ticket, and now I have done the same for other people when I have been the one with an extra ticket.)

Yes. It’s called “faith”.
