since they are looking at credit card billing addresses you could drive there and still have the order canceled

Aww poor penguins...

quote:

I'm sure some of you might recall that this past January, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were looking to lock New York Giants fans out of a Bucs home game too. They pulled the same trick, but they didn't count on the fact that New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo was ready, wiling and able to use the full power of his office to knock Ticketmaster back into line. When Cuomo called, Ticketmaster caved.

The lesson here? If I were a Wings fan, I guess I'd call up Mike Cox, Attorney General for the State of Michigan. And given how popular the Red Wings are these days, something tells me Cox might be well disposed toward hearing an argument that his constituents are being treated unfairly.



Mike Cox has investigated this and deemed it an urban legend.

The University of Michigan has done this for a few years trying to block MSU fans from getting tickets to basketball games at Crysler Arena. It hasnt worked so well. Just like the MSU fans, the wings fans that really want to be there will find a way to make it work.
