Long-time rivals in almost everything, the Ateneo Blue Eagles will battle the La Salle Green Archers for the coveted crown of the UAAP 71st Men’s Basketball Finals. It will be the fourth overall Finals confrontation between these two elite teams. The series will commence this Sunday, 4pm at the Big Dome but the tickets were already sold out Monday, according to the Inquirer.
“There were people who camped out overnight, there was already a line by 4 a.m.,” said a TicketNet representative. The ticketing outlet was opened at 9am and closed at 1230nn, because the tickets were sold out within 3 hours. Due to the huge demand, TicketNet decided to sell just two tickets per individual. It sold mostly game passes to free-seating areas in Upper Box A (P220), Upper Box B (P95) and General Admission (P55).
This may sound crazy but we’re a basketball crazy-nation, right? The last time these two met, there was a paying crowd of 22,316. This is far more than the average attendance of a PBA game finals. Some bought tickets even as high as P7,000 from scalpers. Excellent business!
So, who’s your pick for this year’s Finals?
