Unless they do something crazy this offseason I’ll probably continue to box score watch lol. They may want him back but the team clearly didn’t care in what could have been a legitimate farewell tour

Double bump. I purchased the tix through PayPal as Goods and Services, or friends and family. I have mutual friends of the man. I’ve still yet to receive the tix, but he has my money. He is in daily contact with me. He has offered to speak with the UT ticket office with me to try and get it figured out. But it’s always “the next day” and I’m getting beyond frustrated. I’ve spoken with him on the phone often. He continuously text me about the games, recommendations for things to do when we had a tourney in Gallatin (which is where we stayed), and he’s always kind. His father is a missionary in Ghana, and he is the one who actually owns the tix (not a made up story, as bad as it sounds). I’m at a loss of what to do. He’s not avoiding me. We’re friends on FB. But it’s getting old. Not sure how to get my $ back either if he tries to pull some stuff on me. Any advice?

Triple bump. Maybe the lost elaborate scam I’ve ever seen. But, scam.

I have. Hopefully it gets resolved. Thanks for looking out! It’s a bummer, but it’s the nature of the ticker world right now. They gotta figure out something with scammers and scalpers.

I mean, it sounds like you have some level of personal knowledge of this guy but have you tried Facebook resale groups? They are obviously littered with scammers but for Grizzlies tickets, there are verified season ticket holders/resellers and people have had great experiences that way. I’ve never looked into anything similar for Tennessee tickets but I imagine it exists.

No 3rd party fees. The real crime.

That’s where I found this guy. On one of those groups. Also, he claims he is trying to send the money back on Venmo so it doesn’t charge him a fee on PayPal. Is that an obvious “no-no?” He just reached back out to give my $ back. I’m worried though that if it doesn’t go back through PayPal that it will screw me over.

PayPal claim is in. I get my $ back regardless. Sad.

Hate to ask this if I missed it but are y'all still gonna be able to go? Or did all this mess affect the planning too?

We likely won’t be able to go now. I won’t get the $ until a while from now. Prices are going up too high. The wife was already not thrilled about the price and after this, it’ll be hard to convince her to go as a fam. It’s ok though. He doesn’t know yet. It was going to be a day-of surprise. We will get another crack at it eventually!

Man I hate that. Prices are rough for about every game this year.

Maybe next year we wind up there at the same time. We're thinking about what to target on that slate. I'll buy the little dudes popcorn.
