    Hi all. I hope this is not an inappropriate use of Clutch's board - if so, please delete. I had gotten tickets to both Tuesday's and Wednesday's games and planned to sell Tuesday's tickets to pay for Wedesday tickets for a bunch of friends. Unfortunately, the stupid ticket company is not getting the tickets to me until Tuesday morning, in Austin. So Ebay doesn't work.

    So I have 4 tickets for Tuesday's game - I don't know their location yet unfortunately (they are from TicketReserve.com). They could be great, they could be terrible. I will know that Monday, from what I understand.

    Anyway, since I can't really get the EBay prices I had hoped, I am selling them for $400 a piece (or best offer) as long as you can pick them up from me on Tuesday here in Austin. The are supposed to arrive by 11am.

    I believe the four are together, but I'm not 100% sure - they might be two separate pairs. I am willing to sell 2 or 4 together. Please email me - mpatel at corp.swirve.com if you are interested. I'm also going to post these on Craigslist and other places, but thought I'd give fellow Clutch people first chance. In your email, please include that you're from here.

    If they are not claimed yet, I will post the seat locations and all that on Monday. If you're interested but want to wait until you know the location, let me know and I'll keep you on the list to contact if they haven't sold yet by Monday. This TicketReserve thing is crap. They should have been ready to mail them on Thursday, but apparently it was asking too much for them to get tickets to people OUT OF TOWN a day before a game.

    I will be away from my email the rest of the day today, but will respond to you ASAP.

    Aye, sounds interesting to me too, but I don't know about driving to Austin, driving back and then watching the game.

    Patel?!? Patel?!? F*** you. F***in' Shiva
    handed him a million dollars, told
    him "sign the deal," he wouldn't
    sign. And Vishnu, too. Into the
    bargain. F*** that, John. You
    know your business, I know mine.
    Your business is being an a**hole,
    and I find out whose f***ing cousin
    you are, I'm going to go to him and
    figure out a way to have your ass...
    f*** you--I'll wait for the new
    leads. :p

    Looks like he's already got them on craigslist:

    Hi all. I have four tickets to Tuesday's World Series game in Houston that I can no longer attend and am thus selling. The ticket agency that has my tickets, unfortunately, is not getting them to me until Tuesday morning, in Austin. So Ebay or other selling options don't work.

    So I have 4 tickets for Tuesday's game - I don't know their location yet unfortunately but will know that Monday from what I understand. They could be great, or they could be outfield seats. If you're interested but want to wait until you know the location, let me know and I'll keep you on the list to contact if they haven't sold yet by Monday.

    Anyway, since I can't really get the Ebay auction I had hoped, I am selling them for $400 a piece (or best offer) as long as you can pick them up from me on Tuesday here in Austin. The are supposed to arrive to me by 11am. That is far below the $700-$1000 they are going for on EBay. Because I don't know you and can't wait for a check to clear, I would need it to be paid by Paypal, Money Order, Cashier's Check, Cash, etc.

    I believe the four are together, but I'm not 100% sure - they might be two separate pairs. I am willing to sell 2 or all 4. Please reply if interested. I wish I could provide more details, but I simply don't have them at this point.
    this is in or around South Austin

    Hey everyone - I'll send everyone who responded by email a response shortly, but I wanted to let everyone know that they sold within about 5 minutes of posting them here and Craigslist (they sold to a ClutchCity person). I just got back from a wedding and I have 40+ emails between here and Craigslist!

    Sorry for getting some people's hopes up. I thought with the Austin gameday pickup and all, demand would be a lot lower but apparently not. I have 8 tickets for Wednesday's game and hope to use them all, but if I don't, I'll post it here.
