What? You don’t know what TicketStock is?
Well, it’s a chance for the local sports radio station (1310
AM) to throw a party and show off some of its sponsors. They also bring in some
sports players and fans can get some autographs for free. This year, they
brought in Randy Johnson. I got in line about 11AM to see if I was one of the
lucky ones.
Since there are more people in line than autographs to be
given, they do a random drawing. It’s not just the first ‘x’ amount of people in
line. While the process may be confusing, after an hours or so, I was given my
lottery ticket (wrist band with a number on it). Then I waited about an hour or
so found out I was one of the lucky ones. Then I waited another hour or so and
the signing to begin.
Once the sign began, it went fairly fast. No personalization
and no inscriptions. But it was free. I think Randy charges $200 for his autograph.
I’m very happy with what I got.
He signed. I chatted with some fellow hounds and left. It was
a long day on concrete.
