Thunder Season Ticket Holders...Yippee!!!

We were some of the lucky ones that got to get season tickets to the Oklahoma City Thunder yesterday. We were hoping to get 8 together...my dad, Toby & Karla, Brent & I and Eric, my stepbrother. For those of you who don't know how the process worked, after they announced that the team was coming to OKC, they gave a number that you could call in to get your name on the list for season tickets. The response was overwhelming, they had over 16,000 people put their name on the list. Of those people, they randomly assigned times to come in a pick out seats. We all put our names on the list, and Toby got the earliest appointment...yesterday at 7:00pm. We all went, but unfortunately they would only let us get 6 tickets. Luckily, Eric knew some others with times today and volunteered to wait, so he got separate tickets today. We are lucky, because it looks like they will be selling out shortly, and a number of the people that called in will not be able to get tickets. :( Here I am sitting in our seats: Just kidding. Apparently, those front row courtside seats, which they call "Hollywood" seats sell for a little over $100,000. Yikes! Our actual seats are shown here. They are lower-level corner seats. They are actually a really good view, we sat in them and tested them out, and a little more reasonable.
I can't wait for October 29th...the season opener. Go Thunder!

I really thought those were your seats at first. I guess $100,000 is a little much to pay:)
