Tickets in Tampa Aren’t Too Hard to Come By

By Benson Taylor
Siena, Villanova, Western Kentucky, San Diego. That’s just the lineup Tampa planners -- and scalpers -- must have dreamed of.
Yeah, right.
There weren’t exactly thousands of fans scavenging for ducats leading up to game time on Easter Sunday. I asked Brad of TotalTickets.com, who was selling tickets outside the stadium, how business was going. He admitted he wasn’t in for a record day. But he also didn’t think it was going so bad, as some fans of today’s schools weren’t expecting to be here past Friday, and now need extra tickets.

Business in Brad’s “office” -- the trunk of his nice Lexus.
Brad offered some tips on how he could tell who was willing to pay for good seats -- including what type of jewelry they were wearing. I asked Brad if I could see his jewelry. I hope Chris Mottram, The Sporting Blog’s Mr. Bling, is impressed:
