Sorry, your SB seat is not available...

And no one thought to check these things, uh, before game day?

 

True dat. But I would also question the intelligence of any human being paying $1,000 or more for a ticket to a sporting event. JUST NOT WORTH IT!!! Period.

So, yeah, I'd take the $2,700 and smile. Should be more than enough to cover the airplane, hotel and food.

 

ESPN reporting that the total number of displaced fans was 400, and the NFL just relocated them within the stadium. It didn't send them out into the cold.
It's not working.

If the NFL doesn't do better, Jerry had better. It's his house. He wanted the glory for setting a "record." When it goes wrong like this, take the heat, man up and make it right.

 

This.

 

Jerry Jones later tonight: "See? I saved you from the Black Eyed Peas' halftime performance. If anything, you should pay me for revoking your tickets."

 

Honestly, there is only one way the the NFL can fix this. You take all of those fans, every single last one of them, sit them into a room and get every bit of personal information you can on them. Then, you give them the $2,700 you promised them and you guarantee them free tickets to next year's game.

Granted, that won't solve the problem, especially if there are Steelers/Packers fans in that crowd and those teams don't make it to the game next year, but it will at least make for some decent PR instead of the shit show they're likely to experience with this game.

 

Yeah. That's going to happen.

 

I honestly don't know why anybody attends NFL games.

 

One or another of those guys did miss the game. He got put in the hospital and gave the tickets to his daughters.

Would it have been karmic if their tickets were two of those 400?

 

Let's see . . . the league had six weeks to get this right and could not do so? Inex-freakin'-cusable. But there is no way I would lose money on this deal, especially if I had gone to the NFL's own website to buy tickets for twice face value.

 

I think they should have put all of them in Jerry's suite.
