Be careful buying tickets from Electro!

I guess you are just used to people taking sh*ts on you, so you assume everyone will. Be a man and admit what you did. Dont lie and say you called me.

I'm one of the people who tried calling for you....guessing it would be pretty easy for Electro to post a copy of his cellphone bill showing that he called your number if he did (and assuming you don't mind your cell being posted online). I have no reason to doubt him because....well, let me tell you about my experience with the man:

I met him for the first time a couple seasons ago....a few of us hung out at Picasso's after the Seahawks game. Just a couple hours over some booze and food. Saw him again last season at the Falcons and Broncos games.

This year, I wanted to bring my family down for the Eagles game (3 tix total). Not a real easy task considering the odd number of tix and popularity of the game. Electro said he would see what he could do. He had 2 tickets of his own that he was willing to sell me for face (the ones you talked to him about). That would have meant my wife and son using those while I could hopefully find a single somewhere before the game. Didn't like this idea so I told him I'd take my chances finding 3 before the game and I was ok if he sold his pair.

Well....in the last 2-3 weeks he actively checked ebay and craigslist to try and find me 3 tickets. We talked pretty much every 2 or 3 days when he'd see something and run it by me. A few days before the game he found a set of 4 uppers at face value. One more ticket than I needed but at face value we figured I could sell a single at face easy enough on game day. Electro (who doesn't live in Charlotte) arranged for a couple of his buddies to meet the seller in CLT and pickup the tickets for me (AND fronting the money). They went to meet the guy, waited for HOURS and the dude never showed. One minute I had tickets, the next I didn't. So I was back to the hunt...or more correctly, Electro was back on the hunt. We talked again on Saturday morning shortly before I left PA for NC. A couple hours into the drive he called me again and said he just found 3 at face value on craigslist, called the guy and arranged for us to meet his son at the tailgate on Sunday. I didn't get to the tailgate until about 10AM but I soon saw Electro. He had already met the guy and got the tickets for me. I didn't have to give him a call or go looking for him where was parked. Reimbursed him the cash for what he layed out and had the tickets in my wallet. I asked him if he had sold his own two yet and he said no, that he hadn't heard from the guy he was supposed to meet (I'll assume that was you).

I don't know what happened but the dude is trustworthy and didn't intentionally screw you. If he told me he'd have a ticket for me and to not give it another thought, I wouldn't.

Oh....he also got me a ticket for the Dolphins game and had it for me on Sunday. Again, at face value which he fronted the money for.

I have also purchased tickets from Electro before and have never had a problem. He never failed to contact me and always came through with the tickets. I would buy tickets from him anytime without hesitation.

Well regardless of all of that he did not come through for me, and I will not be buying from him. If he tried to call me then I never got it, and I never had a missed call from him. I was there when I told him I would be there. He also told me he was trying to call people who wanted the tickets, when I talked to him Sat. You think it was possible he may have gotten the #s mixed up, and called someone else. I guess we will never know. It really is a dead issue now. I feel I was screwed, He feels like I screwed him, and we live about 5 hours apart so what can you do. You live and you learn.

I called him every 5min until 1230 when I finally gave up, and started looking for other options. I ended up buy tix from a guy on the corner for a good bit over face value. I drove all the way and spent way more money for worse seats. I dont really know this guy, but where I come from this is not the way to do business. The way I see it is he owes me some money. I am looking forward to seeing this F*cker at a future tailgate.

So you had a tentative ticket source that fell through and you still got to go to the game.

You did not have a firm agreemnt with this person and were late for the meeting.

And your reaction is to degrade this person on the huddle.

You seem like a whiny little bitch. Get over it and move on.
