I admit it. Many, many years ago I purchased a ticket from a ticket scalper outside Texas Stadium. If memory serves correct, I paid $70 for a ticket with a face value around $15. Like I said it was many, many years ago, and I was young and naive.
At the time I felt relieved to have a ticket. The game was a sell out, but as soon as I found my seat, I felt cheated. Let's just say it was a very bad seat. One of the worst in the house to be sure, but still good enough for me to see the visiting Chicago Bears destroy Dallas 44-0!
My bad experience aside, many fans see scalpers as their only option for getting into sold out events. At worst they see ticket scalping as a low-level, victimless crime.
I would suggest, however, that the facts prove otherwise.
Investigative reports around the country have uncovered highly organized groups of professional ticket scalpers who control street-level ticket sales in many major league sports cities. Often these men have ties to organized crime and lengthy criminal records. As seasoned criminals they are quick to threaten a customer or turn violent when a transaction doesn't go their way.
Certainly not all the scalpers seen hawking tickets outside your local stadium fall into this category, but the threat is widespread and very real.
Using various techniques, these groups acquire tickets from season ticket holders, ticket agencies, and even the team's box office. In some cases they work closely with team employees to ensure a constant supply of tickets. They also aggressively solicit fans seeking to buy spare tickets at discounted prices.
Sadly this leaves typical fans literally on the outside looking in. Fans who can't get tickets through the more traditional channels are forced to deal with these groups if they want to see a game in person.
As always I recommend you avoid scalpers if at all possible. I agree there may be certain situations when you have no choice, but don't make it a habit. In my opinion there are just too many risks, and besides you can get tickets to just about any event without them as long as you're prepared to put a little effort into it.
With that said, if you decide to approach one outside the stadium, please remember who you're dealing with. This person might be a convicted drug dealer, thief, or worse a violent criminal. In addition, he might have ties to organized crime. Above all use your common sense and proceed with caution.
I'm sure the majority of fans who purchase tickets from a scalper don't suffer from the level of 'buyer's remorse' I felt inside Texas Stadium, and they certainly don't experience anything close to assault and battery. However, threats, intimidation and violence have become a part of the ticket scalping business in many cities so please be careful out there, and remember - Caveat Emptor or "let the buyer beware!"

Matalan School Uniforms – Back to School Checklist
When it comes to kitting out new school uniforms there are two different trains of thought; parents are primarily concerned with buying affordable and hard-wearing clothes, whereas kids want to be trendy and stylish. Until recently it was difficult to find school uniform that fulfilled both parents’ and pupils’ expectations but thankfully, not anymore.
Forget being forced to dig deep into your finances to buy the mountain of accessories and footwear, for your child’s return to school as that is a thing of the past. Superb quality girls’ and boys’ school uniforms are now available in all the latest styles from major supermarkets and leading clothes retailers such as Matalan – voted number 1 for school uniforms by mums who read The Sun newspaper.
Indeed, most of today’s staple school uniform items such as t-shirts, polo shirts, trousers and skirts are available from high street outlets at extremely affordable prices. Unfortunately, it’s not all good news as mandatory school logo uniform items still have to be bought from the school’s appointed school wear shop at a significantly higher cost.
But, for day-to-day items choice has never been so great when it comes to school uniform; girls have a great choice of trousers for chillier weather or comfort, and on-trend skirts for spring and summer. Instead of a skirt and top combination, younger girls can opt for practical hard-wearing pinafores.
The boys don’t get left out either when it comes to high street uniforms, there is a fantastic choice of latest style crew neck jumpers, polo shirts, sweatshirts and trousers; plus the choice of footwear for both sexes is huge.
Little ones need to be wrapped up in coats that are weather-proof and warm when the weather turns nasty, and Wellington boots also come in very handy for those rainy days.
In addition to clothing don’t forget to kit out their schoolbag with all the necessary equipment and stationery items including pens and pencils. Another essential accessory is a back-pack in which the kids carry their school books, lunch boxes and drinks containers as well as the essential school books!
Remember to order name tags well in advance, and buy a permanent ink pen for marking items such as coats. Sewing the name tags are always tricky, so like everything else to do with going back to school don’t leave it too late.
To help with your back to school planning here is a suggested checklist of the most needed items and likely quantities required of each. It’s not a definitive list as children of different ages will require different things, but it is a good starting point. In addition to this list you will also need to find out from the school whether mandatory items such as blazers, school ties and sports shirts are required.
Back to school checklist:
• Pair of shoes
• Pair of Wellington boots
• Bag for school books / equipment
• Bag for PE kit
• Warm and preferably waterproof coat
• Sweaters, sweatshirts or cardigans
• Shirts or blouses
• Polo tops
• Shorts, skirts or trousers
• Pairs of socks or tights
• Pairs of sports socks
• Pair of plimsolls
• Pair of trainers
• Pair football/ rugby boots
• T-shirts
• Tracksuit
• Relevant sports equipment such as shin pads, tennis racquet, hockey stick etc.
• Lunch box and drinks container
• Stationery set including: paper, pens, pencils, rubber, maths set and calculator
It’s a long list but unless your child is starting school you won’t necessarily need to buy all the items listed. Instead examine your child’s current uniform for signs of excessive wear and ask them to try everything on for size before deciding what you need to buy.
Although it’s never too early to start preparations for the new school term don’t be overly keen to get everything too far in advance. Aim to get the balance right, as you won’t want to spend money on clothes that no longer fit when the term starts. But on the other hand, leave it too late and you’ll find the shelves are cleared of the most popular sizes.
