Thank you Finish Line! In and out with my raffle ticket while LOTS of peeps without tickets stared me down. Good luck to NTers working the online angle this morning.
You didn't get a guaranteed size? That doesn't sound like a won raffle at all. In a real raffle, you have a pair of shoes of the size you designated on your ticket set aside for you, guaranteed.
Woohoo! Won a Finish Line raffle for a sz 12. First ever raffle i entered, got the news while watching spider man, lol.
Good luck to anyone still waiting on a raffle or is going online tomorrow.
:) :) :)
Well today is raffle day ... got 8 tickets in at FA, Finish Line, Champs, and FootLocker.
I get to sit around with my phone next to me all day long, dead silent while employees at those stores call their friends and family and whoever bribed them the most to tell them they "won" the raffles, LOL.
Got a raffle ticket at Foot Locker today, so that makes Champs, Finishline, FL, and Foot Action, doubled up because the wife put in too.
Fingers crossed ...
Yes, demand will still outstrip supply by a huge margin. For anyone who doesn't have a friend working at a store, isn't willing to pay at least $100 over retail, or who hasn't bribed someone, it's going to be a cop you have to work for.
That's my belief as well. I've signed up for raffles but don't expect a call back, and not just because of the odds. The raffle procedures seem absurdly easy for employees to rig. Wouldn't surprise me if my ticket went straight into a trash can as soon as I walked out the door.
But what ya...
I was at University Mall in Tampa for the Snakeskins. They passed out tickets in the parking lot at 6 AM and it was packed. Lots of sheriff's deputies out there though so everything was in good order. I arrived too late to cop, though.
That's the plan: If the raffles don't pan out, then online it shall be. Will leave no stone unturned, LOL, given my constraints which are "too old to camp in a parking lot", and "won't pay more than retail".
Got raffle tickets from Foot Action, Finish Line, and Champs at local mall. Wife did the same so I have 6 chances out there right now. Nobody in our area is distributing guaranteed tickets, all for raffles.
Will do the same for Foot Locker on Wednesday.
This board has been somewhat out of...
Earliest I ever remember camping at 2 AM was in early 2001 for the Cool Grey 11s. That made me second in line and that was at an FL on Canal Street in New Orleans. By 5AM the line had grown considerably and we had to beat back a Hummer full of Cash Money Millionaires (LOL) who tried to...
From 1995-2005 I bought over 40 pairs of OG and retro Jordans, but dropped out of the game circa 2006, so the last time I tried to cop a hyped shoe there was no Twitter, Iphones, or raffle tickets. You got your **** out to the mall and lined up in the parking lot at 2 AM, and then you hunkered...
Where in hell do you get guaranteed tickets? My local Champs in Baton Rouge only does raffles, which are just tickets that go into a hopper (allegedly, LOL) and then you have to hope your number is drawn.
In my case, literally. I was planning on trying to cop these online at the drop point and overslept. Woke up at 8:25 EST and it was already all over. Couldn't get through anywhere.
Yeah ... I want to make a run at the XI Concords and VI Carmines for sure, and I'm 50-50 about the XI Snakes and even the II Infras, coming out this week. I'm not made of money ...
