Tonight's Game Seven is probably the biggest sporting event in Washington in the past decade and possibly one of the biggest of all-time.
As you can imagine, tickets are hard to come by, or at least hard to come by at a decent price. So what do you do when you want to see Washington's biggest sporting event of the year, but don't want to run away from loan sharks for the rest of your life because of it?
Thanks to the wonderful technology of Craigslist, you can turn to the world's oldest profession.
Will trade for Caps game 7 tix - Willing to trade a mustache ride for 1 ticket for tonight's game.
But that's not the only way fans are trying to get their mitts on some Game Seven tickets; sometimes it's all about making a business connection.
WANTED: 2 Lower Level Tickets Capitals Game 7: We are DIE hard Capitals fans and are looking for someone who might be interested in a trade for two lower level tickets for $1500 worth of home remodeling services. The company is fully licensed, bonded and insured and will be willing to complete your home remodeling project of or up to $1500 in exchange for TWO LOWER LEVEL Capitals tickets for tonights Game 7 against Pittsburgh.
Capitals Tickets for Limo: Does anyone have a pair of extra tickets that they want to trade for Limo transportation to and from Game 7
Of course if you're not willing to be a prostitute, and you may not have a job with beneftis like, oh, a limo, then you could always appeal to the Eleanor Rigbys attending the game.
Interested in a date to the Capitals-Pens Game Seven? Have an extra ticket in the lower level ... section 108, where Caps shoot twice. You must be a Caps fan. May consider a Pens fan that's first and foremost a true hockey fan that appreciates the game regardless of what team anyone supports and can have a decent conversation about the nuances of the game. Buy me a few rounds of beer, pay for my parking spot, buy a Varly jersey-shirt in Russian cyrillic ... etc. You make the offer and the best one gets to go to the good ol' hockey game tonight! Also, drop a few lines about yourself.
Need a date to Game Seven? No one should go to a Caps playoffs game alone. With Game 7 being only a day away, why not secure a date with an athletic 23 year old female hockey-enthusiast? You bring the tickets and I'll buy us a round of beers while we scream and cheer the game on.
Sometimes all it takes is mentioning that anyone who attends the game is going to miss "Lost" and telling the sellers you don't have any money (but can turn it up to 11!).
Can't miss "Lost" but can't work that VCR? Desperate times call for desperate measures (and the game were Sunday night I'd reference Desperate Housewives). I can't spend any more coin on hockey tickets or my domestic bliss will implode, but I'd love to take my 12-year-old hockey player and me to the game. So some good-natured begging seems my only option. If you can't go and want two human loudspeakers sitting in your seats (we'll turn our amplifiers up to 11--Spinal Tap fans take note), we're your guys. Thanks.
God bless the Internet.
