Tickets

One day I will have season tickets to a pro sports team wherever I may be living. I say this because I am a sports fan and love going to live sporting events. However, I am saying this for another reason from an experience that I just recently had.

My wife and I are going to the Cleveland Indians game on June 13th against the St. Louis Cardinals, should be a fun game to watch. I ordered these tickets March 3rd through the Indians website which is powered by Ticketmaster. The e-mail order confirmation told me that I would receive the tickets within 48 hours of the event, but this was not my first time ordering off the website and I have always received my tickets very early. I called Ticketmaster this past Friday (June 5) and they told me that the tickets were mailed out on March 4th, I ordered them March 3rd. The United States Postal Service lost my tickets or Ticketmaster sent them to the wrong address. I am not real happy with either of them right now, especially Ticketmaster since this was the second time this has happened to me.

The first time this happened was during the 2008 baseball season, I ordered tickets for the final Yankee game in Yankee Stadium. UPS lost those tickets and because it was not Ticketmaster's fault I was out the ticket and the money that I spent on them. Thankfully this time Ticketmaster guaranteed my tickets and they are now waiting on me at will call in Cleveland.
