The Magic "Sold Out!"

About 3,000 tickets for the three NBA finals games sold out Saturday morning in record time.

The sale began at 10 am. By 11 am, they were gone. The tickets were left over following the pre-sale to season ticket holders. At 9 am, the Magic started a lottery to determine the line order. That, in itself, caused controversy, as some fans had spent the night in front of the Amway Arena, only to not even have a chance to buy tickets.

Some tickets may be available through Team Exchange, the Magic's official site to buy tickets from those that have them and are looking to sell.
