I'm the one who got those Bank of the West tickets. I was counting on the fact that there wouldn't be many others at work that knew the demand for tickets.
I use to have hockey and football season tickets and had thought about rejoining the Champions Club, but I figured surely I could get one ticket during the general sale. Looking back, rejoining the NDCC likely would have been the better (and cheaper) option that trying to buy online right at 11:00.
