I am not sure about it being legal in any state hosting the FF.  I found
it interesting that the TicketMaster that charged my credit card for the
FF tickets was listed as Los Angeles and not St. Paul.  I think that
tells us that the NCAA went shopping with TicketMaster for a location
that allows such charging and possible refunding to occur.

I am still watching my credit card.  Still no refund.  When will the
lottery take place?  When can I start thinking that I really do have
tickets.
