Just curious, how do you get tickets for a road game? Are they available online on the team's websites? Do you have to go through a broker like StubHub or Amazing Tickets or some such? Do you have to just go to the stadium and get a ticket from a street scalper? Do you have to pay an arm and a leg above face value for them? Which cities are easy and which are hard to get? Inquiring minds ask.

If you're nice to people with tickets they might sell them to you at face value.

Mr. know it all asking a dumb ass question like this. Even the educated stain fans are stupid asses
You don't really think it is a dumbass question. General information of this sort can be invaluable to anyone. You just wanted to make a dumbass disparaging remark and to prove that your existance is full of spitefullness and bitterness.
Well you have succeeded. Now you can die happy (and hopefully, that will be soon).

A. We're talking about a national holiday.
B. I went to Kent for a couple of years. I was THERE on May 4th, 1970.
C. Maybe it deserves to be a state holiday in Cuba, but not here in our U.S.A.

Id really like to talk to you someday. TheClevelandSound

Hey, you can email me any time ! I didn't want to tick you off, just goofing around.
WTF does Cuba have to do with it? Gipper

If you knew the people back then, in the anti-war movement, at Kent, you'd know, Gip.
Just trust me... @@

UH, did you know them? Were you around there then? I know one of the guys that was shot. He lives about 2 blocks from where I am sitting right now. I know a number of other people that were there. My next door neighbor was on the scene when the shooting occurred. I use to work with one of the National Guardsmen. I was scheduled to be in Kent that very evening but my event got cancelled by the shootings. (It was a sporting event...a baseball game)
Were some of these people involved in the protests "radicalized"? Yes, but by opposition to the war, not to any "pro-communist" sympathy or anything.
-
Actually, I didn't know you knew all that. But trust me, I KNEW people who were not against the war, but were ardent revolutionaries.
I was there that day, and had talked with some of the National Guard that morning. Went to Kent for two years after that day, starting the next fall.
Even got elected to the student gov.,
One of the top Kent radicals signed my petition. He said I was a class guy, a good dude, he just disagreed with me. But he laughed and said
he wouldn't want to challenge me to a debate.
but I quit after a group took over a student gov. meeting with "takeover of the world" "change the world" .
and the more sinister, "Che ! Che ! Che !" chant.
Yeah, so that's why I mentioned it. There were tons of kids upset about the war, Gip. But there was also Jerry Rubin, talking
about "kill your parents" in one rally.
But, I still go back to the young lady with big tears rolling down her face at the student union. (sorry, I'm repeating this story)...
she had gone to the giant Washington D.C. rally. Her brother was in Vietnam, and she was crying over the betrayal. You see, they all went on buses to D.C., and ended up arrested and held for a bit at the JFK stadium, I think it was.
Well, the LEADERS of the trip and the "anti war" rallies... did NOT GO to the rally. They took the money for the trip home, etc,
and threw themselves a big party. A lot of students had to wire home for some money to get back home.
The young lady was crying in anger and bitter because of the huge betrayal. She wasn't alone in her bitterness.
She was against the war, and dearly loved her All-American brother, and wanted him home safely, and she was angry, and hurt, that the leaders didn't care at all. They were just playing on her feelings for political support.
I really have always hoped her brother made it back home, for her sake.
so, I do know of what I speak.
I had this conversation once in Mississippi in the Air Force with a guy who said he knew the National Guard was bullying and shooting students on purpose, etc.
I said that was a bunch of crap, that students were throwing rocks, and chanting "death to America"... he disagreed.
I showed him my Kent State ID card. I still have pictures I took that morning of the National Guard somewhere, I think, before
the shootings took place.

Well, the guy from Mississippi was right: The National guard was there bullying people. (I mean, in a sense, that was their legitimate purpose in being there...to bully the students into going where they wanted them to go and to do what they wanted them to do. It WAS a show of force.) And, they were shooting students on purpose. I mean, they stopped, took aim, and fired their weapons and 4 people died and a number more were wounded. There is no doubt that that was a purposeful act.
The question was whether or not they were justified...not whether or not it was on purpose.
And I doubt they were chanting "Death to America". Maybe they were saying "F**K Nixon" but not the other.

You do not have to censor yourself on here. Don't know why that would be necessary. If someone doesn't like what you say, they can go "click" on to the next post or next subject....Unless they want to engage in what should be an amicable debate, then they are free to respond. If the Admins feel for some reason it is getting so far off topic, they can they just move it to the political forum or the tavern or the barbershop or wherever.
