Curious what folks elected to do with their finals tix.
I have games 2 & 7. I am going to 2, if it goes to 7 I am leaning on selling but its honestly 50/50. I just don't think I can handle seeing a loss in a game 7 of the finals - which was the similar mindset to why i sold game 7 against Miami last year, absolutely no regrets on that decision.

Using as tempting as those secondary prices are looking at the moment. 

Going Thursday night.  I have a college buddy taking Game 2 & my sister is taking Game 5.  I'm travelling June 8-22 so would be able to make Game 7 if it happened.  Really hope it doesn't come to that.

Very generous on giving games to friends/family. I had to turn off my phone from those looking for a ticket.

The tickets have never been a business to me.  I've always intended it as entertainment for myself, family, & friends even back when I was in my mid 20s when I first got the tickets (STM since '07). My father is now elderly and gone thru some hellish health stuff recently, so the big games have been transitioning to my sister if I can't use them these days.

Basically, the one rule I've had in the playoffs going back years now,  is that if you weren't taking my tickets in the lean years or didn't take any this regular season, don't even bother to try & hit me up for playoff tickets.  I reward loyalty.

Definitely had people crawl out of the woodwork.  Takes some real gall.

Love it. Do you get people subtly questioning you about finals tickets and hinting that they would be happy to go if you needed an outlet? 🤣

I am out of town for both games 1 and 2 and sold those fairly quickly, which is the good news. The bad news is that we also have Red Sox tickets.
