you're +3 right? how good were the seats they offered you? vs razorgator?
also, if you didnt see it, someone with both posted that +2 was definitely not as good as amex plat.
while we still dont know for sure how +3 compares to cent.

Regarding the tickets from Merrill, there were several issues:
1. Merrill had a more limited selection of seats than RazorGator. I did not want "great" seats for this event. Merrill only had great seats.
2. Merrill's price was slightly higher than RazorGator for comparable seats
3. Merrill offered tickets only in multiples of 2. I wanted 3 tickets. (In hindsight, I could have sold the extra ticket and used the proceeds to pay for the ones that I wanted. The price has gone from $300 to $1000 for the same seat at the finals.)
4. The only downside with RazorGator was that I had to pick the tickets up at a RazorGator ticket office. I would have preferred will-call type service or FedEx. However, I am not sure that was available from Merrill.
For some reason I did not try AMEX or Chairman for this request. I just went ahead with RazorGator.
