Rocky jamboa Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 10,500 is phenomenal, based on the price, fewer games, being in the championship and no guarantee you'll get to physically watch all the games. I didn't think we'd sell as many. šš Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
