Good Question, Mr. Trinidad

Here's an excerpt from Recah Trinidad's column on the Phil. Daily Inquirer last Saturday:

MANILA, Philippines—Plain fans can’t be blamed for suspecting that it’s no longer a plain basketball match the UAAP will be hosting at the Araneta Coliseum Saturday.

Listen to this first, please:

“You’ve plans of watching the Ateneo-La Salle basketball game live?” asks one exasperated basketball fan.

Yes.

Quit it.

Why?

There are no more tickets.

It's true! DH and I were told last week that there were absolutely, totally, undoubtedly no more tickets available for the DLSU-ADMU game Saturday. It was the first time ever since I started watching the UAAP games that I had to sit and make "mukmok" and watch at home. Sure we've experienced difficulty getting tickets in the past. But we were never told NO MORE TICKETS. Makes you really really wonder where all those tickets are going. I was so close to buying from a scalper (that would've been around 3K for a lower box ticket which regularly costs 250) but I'm glad I didn't because I would've made some dirtbag rich(er)!

Oh and just to show you how elusive those tickets are? A friend of mine, another UAAP fan (who unfortunately is on the opposite side of the fence hahaha) who was lucky enough to grab some Upper A tickets saw Dato and Kakai Arroyo also in the same section. Uhhh...that's the President's son and daughter-in-law and they were in upper a??? Tsk tsk tsk...

P.S.
I hope more of these dirtbags are caught. Heard one of them is from the UP Admin office. UP!!! The host university for this season! HOW COULD YOU??? Nakakahiya!
