Hey guys, I just thought id share a story with you all, regarding the O Ball being a Sell Out.

I got my ticket yesterday, with a couple of mates and came up for uni today to do somethings, then was planning to go around 7ish. At the door, the bouncer realised I had thongs on, and wouldnt let me in. So that was my night ruined.

Standing around near many of the "Tickets Sold Out" signs they had plastered everywhere, I was trying to ring my friend and tell him the bad news. In the space of about 10 minutes I watched as many as 25 people turn away upon reading the signs.

This led me to an idea. Scalping.

Now I had originally intended to go to the function, but this was something I could not refuse to consider. I approached a group of people, about three guys in a group and one of them didnt have a ticket. When I told them I had a ticket I was willing to sell them, some others overheard who where in similar circumstances.
Between four people, it turned out to be an auction.

$120 for the ticket. Not a bad effort for the $22 I paid.

I hope for his sake, he had a good night.

Mainly because Im not real familiar with the BOTH as I dont really go over Hunter side much, ive been twice so far I think both times around mid afternoon. I was in a bit of a rush too.
I mean yeah...of course one would only need a second to realise that most (if not all) pubs and clubs enforce dress codes after dark, but somehow that thought managed to escape my mind when I was getting ready.
