Nah I didn't go to willowbrook or garden state but I went to NY instead and put my name in a few raffles. Did you go to any of those spots yet? And are they giving out tickets tomorrow also? Might stop by thereDid you go to willowbrook and garden state? Hit me up
Wrong. They were reserved pairs.
that's why i never even bother with alot of them unless its a ticket for a guaranteed pair, with these kind of hyped up releases you better have a strong store connect to have a remote chance of winningI swear dealing with these raffles are a waste of time but i still enter in a few just in case
This is the reality check I got almost a year ago. When raffles became the norm, most managers and asst, managers began to realize they can sell tickets, and since most JB buyers are repeat customers all they need is a small circle to work with. When it comes to limited releases they still deal within their circle the same people who have taken care of them on general releases. I am guilty of being one of those dudes paying but don't care. in the end 20-40 is easily better than 80-120 over retail after the release. Today the mall i was at giving out guaranteed tickets did not give out any sz 11.5, 12, or 13s and I know they got 4 or 5 of each sz for a fact. you already know where those 12-15 pairs (which is not a lot went).Went a little bit out of the way to enter a couple of raffles and witnessed some bogus activity with my own eyes. The store usually has the person sign a ticket and a sheet a paper much like I've done there several times including today. Afterwards I see this dude walk up to counter and only sign the sheet of paper, no ticket. To seal the deal I see buddy shake up with the associate as he departed, but in his hand was a nice little green note tucked under his thumb. It was the classic dope deal exchange! To make matters worse he seemed to have a pretty large shoe size, my shoe size. I can usually eyeball a size 13 from a mile away.
My optimism tells me that maybe he just owed this dude some money, no shadiness, I'm overreacting. Needless to say I'm not expecting to get a call back from these guys.
Nope. I only get tickets from the stores at the local mall that I frequent during lunch break. The dudes there know me, and it'll be embarrassing to perform such act.
No one ever declines. Chances are: that person will still pick up the pair and try to flip or if that person doesn't pick up his pair before the allocated time expires, the store will do FCFS or re-raffle.Pretty much it. I only get tickets from the 2-3 local malls from work. If that fails, I try online. If online fails, then oh well. I'm not going to pay over retail for Js and Nikes.
If you don't have a you know what, you don't stand a chance. There's been members who confirmed getting a DM before the official tweet is sent
