$75. before any fees Absurd I almost fell off my bar stool. That can’t be accurate, can it? Those are FBS/NFL prices. |

I think they’re only $25 each. There might also be a buy one/get one free promo for that game.

Considering I paid something like $35 per ticket for the Crusader NCAA playoff game against Monmouth (might have been $30), hoops really dialed a wrong number.  |

Frontline workers get one free ticket. Wear your old Burger King uniform.

Didn’t work at BK but did work at a defunct challenger to McDonalds on LI called Wetson’s. Paid minimum wage ($1.25 per hour) until I got a job for the summer at the Post Office courtesy of doing well on a civil service entrance exam and got paid the kingly ransom of $2.25 per hour but only got called in to cover for vacationing carriers.
Wasn’t able to keep the Wetson’s shirt and never got one as a mailman.

Wetson's! Have not heard that name in years. There was a Wetson's literally around the corner from my grandparents house. I remember having "Wetson's for dinner" a few times as a "treat" when visiting them as a kid.
And not to derail the topic too much, a quick interweb search found this 5 minute video about Wetson's and what happened to them ...

Fully understand that. My point - indirectly - was that if I was paying "only" $30-$35 for an NCAA playoff ticket, there is no way a "regular" game ticket would be more expensive.

8485, thanks for that video clip for a trip down memory lane. Yep, I worked in the Bay Shore location (correct wording is 2 words, not 1 word Bayshore). One of the reasons I quit was the $1.25 rate would go up automatically after I think it was 90 days to $1.35. That was the good news. The bad news was the extra 10 cents an hour went to a requirement to join a union and the union got that 10 cents extra an hour and my fellow workers who had done that told me that that money went actually back to the owners. As a high schooler, I wasn't yet familiar with the term kickback.   Another memory was the Suffolk PD cops coming "around back" for free meals. Was told that was sort of protection money to ensure they kept a watchful eye on the place though we were hardly in a high crime area other than the threatened rumble with a bunch of West Islipers that never actually happened. No guns, just chains, knives and car antennas (do the young folks know what those are?! ). |
