Florida Marlins selling Roy Halladay perfect-game tickets - ESPN

MIAMI -- Here's a chance to buy tickets to a guaranteed perfect game -- the one Roy Halladay already threw.

The Florida Marlins will begin selling on Tuesday unused tickets to the game in which the Philadelphia Phillies ace pitched the 20th perfect game in major league history, a 1-0 victory over the Marlins on Saturday.

All tickets will be regularly priced at "face value" and on sale both online and through the Marlins' box office.

Jeffrey Loria just gave Donald Sterling an idea the next time LeBron James comes into town.

Jeffrey Loria. What a ****ing douchebag.

Even worse is the kind of person who would buy this ticket just to say that they "were there". Marlins fans already don't buy tickets to be at games that will actually happen, no chance they buy tickets to games that haven't already been played.

and it's a game that the Marlins lost. It's one thing to squeeze revenue out of Anibal Sanchez's no-hitter, for example. It's another to commemorate the time your team got owned.

It has nothing to do with commemorating their team.

Loria's selling these tickets because he knows there are idiots who will buy them.

And why shouldn't he? He can either earn more money by selling them or earn jack shit by not.

The only idiots in this case are the ones that'll buy the ticket(s) even though they were not there.

Of course, you can't call them all idiots as some will probably buy it and hold on to it so they can sell it to some other sucker at a higher price.

That's a brilliant idea.
Crumple it up a little so that it looks like it was really used.
Wamooo.
