Man I wish they were doing the guaranteed ticket here in OK. All FA's and FTL's are raffles here, one entry per person. FA you give your size and have to answer their call Tuesday morning or you get skipped. FTL you don't give a size and must answer Wednesday morning when they call you and then you tell them your size.
FNL and Hibbett Sports are all doing FCFS, with both malls opening at midnight. Hibbett is letting people line up right outside of their entrance, in the middle of mall traffic, and will hand out hibbet business cards with sizes printed on them. You get one of these and have to be back between 8 am and 8:30 am to pick your pair up or they go on the shelves (Freakin amateurs). FNL's will have a line outside of the mall, outdoors, and will come outside and hand us size tickets at 7 am. We will have until close that night to pick up our pairs.
Both Foot actions got approx 50 pairs, our bigger FNL got 76 pairs, and the scheming foot lockers we have here got
12 pairs!! LOL, they are the worst. They got 86 pairs of Concords, but only had 21 to sell come 5 am release day. They are paying for it now, and were also able to tell me that they had 92 pairs allocated to them, but they were taken before the shipment was open then sent off to the closest HoH, 120 miles away in OKC. EAT A D on that one FTL!
I asked a friend down in OKC to get a ticket at each location plus the HoH since it looks like they will have an ungodly amount of pairs. Every store other than that FTL said everyone should get a pair and they have never had more pairs of one retro. In terms of ratio's, Tulsa is not near as large as your guys cities so the total number may not sound big here, but compare it to 26-35 pairs of a GR normally being a large amount, and the ratio is large this time.
Oh, and an FNL employee listening in on our convo also let it slip that FNL will be having a raffle for the "shiny black and red air jordans they are about to get next week to sell on Christmas." LOL so FNL will be a raffle for blk/red 11's.
I also got to look and hold a retail pair. This pair was flawless and I hope to God it is the pair I get. These things looked SUPER nice
