Tickets for the annual James Lafferty One Tree Hill charity basketball game sold out in 10 minutes this year. With a total of 1,300 tickets, that means more than two tickets were sold every second.

“We weren’t expecting that. Last year, it took about two weeks,” said Kate McHugh, who works at the YMCA.

She credited the ease of a new on-line ticketing system for the quick sell-out.

Some fans, however, didn’t like the new system. In the previous four years, fans ordered tickets by calling the Wilmington Family YMCA or by showing up at the gym in person. This year, tickets were sold only at www.wilmingtonfamilyymca.org beginning at 9 a.m. March 29.

The Star-News received e-mails from fans who said credit cards with security codes that begin with “0” were not recognized by the system and complaining that international orders were not accepted.

Gray Lambeth, special events director at the YMCA said nothing was wrong with the system, however. It was checked out and approved by organizers before it was launched, she said. The only real problem was that some credit cards with security numbers that begin with “0” were indeed kicked out, but Lambeth blamed PayPal for the glitch.

As for international sales, a notice posted on the site said they were not accepted.

There’s good news and bad news concerning the ‘One Tree Hill’ Charity Basketball Game. The good news is is that the tickets SOLD OUT in record time. The Wilmington Family YMCA believe it was in under 10 minutes before all the tickets were gone. Congratulations, James!

The bad news is that lots of fans didn’t get a chance to get tickets before they sold out. Meaning lots of fans had to cancel reservations for flights and for hotels. Sorry, ladies and gentlemen.

Here’s to a great game for this year and here’s to hoping the fans that didn’t get the chance to go this year can go next year.

Have fun all! Let’s hope Sophia makes it!
