Tickets for Lebron’s #WitnessHistory being sold online

You’ve probably heard of the news that Miami Heat superstar Lebron James is paying his Filipino fans a visit as a part of his Asian tour called “Witness History”. Thousands of die-hard fans and scalpers flocked to the Nike Park at BGC to be part of this once in a lifetime chance to see their idol. Wait, did I just say SCALPERS?!

Yes, that’s right! Among the thousands of fans who lined up to get a pair of tickets to see the NBA superstar are scalpers who are now selling their FREE tickets on online stores like Sulit and AyosDito.

Just to reiterate, these tickets are given for free and are sponsored by Nike PH, so technically other than their transportation and their so-called “effort” of lining up since amidst the occasional rains, they didn’t spend a dime on it.

So how much are they selling it? Well, the price differs from seller to seller depending on the location of the seat (and how greedy they are), but the price ranges from Php1,500USD 26INR 2,167EUR 24CNY 186 to Php5,000USD 85INR 7,223EUR 81CNY 621. The greediest of them all, is selling/sold his Upper Box ticket for Php10,000USD 170INR 14,446EUR 162CNY 1,241.

Can you call them scumbags? Yeah, probably. But let’s face it, not everyone has the luxury to line up to get tickets to see Lebron James. If you’re one of those people, at least you can still see your basketball idol. That is, of course, if you’re willing to pay for something that’s supposed to be free.

This is B***S**T! Nike PH should have just sold the tickets to prevent these “iskwaters” on scalping.

If you think the ‘scalpers’ at LeBron’s tour are lowlifes, just wait for the ‘scalpers’ at the UAAP Cheerdance Competition.

Well, di na mawawala mga scalpers dito. Nung una palang balita na marami na ang nakapila at nagcamping dyan eh scalpers agad ang una kong naisip na pumila at hindi mga tunay na fans. Ganito na lang isipin natin, since wala tayong luxury na pumila cause of work or whatever para tayong nagrenta ng pipila para sa atin at babayaran natin sila for their efforts. Hahaha :P

The solution is to sell tickets cheap but make the tickets have a name on it and if the person doesn’t have the name and ID to match the ticket, then no entry. Problem solved , can’t scalp if a ticket name has to match an ID

napaka STUPID ng nag nagsulat ng article na ito. Anong magagawa mo kung yun ang gusto nilang gawin sa ticket na nakuha nila for FREE. Eh kung mas kailangan nila ng PERA para sa masmahalagang bagay, why not!? In the first place, wala naman silang taong natatapakan, besides this is their EFFORT!!! not yours!! STUPID!

In QC, scalping is illegal. Hmm, OK let’s move major sporting events to Pasay via MOA instead. There’s a price for convenience and demand. Since these free tickets are very in-demand and there are people who are lazy (or at least complacent) to fall in line, ayan, magbayad ka. LOL

Mga BITTER lang yang mga yan! Hindi lang nakakuha ng FREE ticket. Pagbubuntungan na ng galit nila eh yung mga taong nakakuha at gustong ibenta na lang.

…and there’s this faggot whose calling names to everyone who responds to his post. If we use your logic to a gun, then that means I could point my gun and shoot at anyone. As commented before, scalping is for RETARDS
