Today, I went to a professional baseball game. In the 5th inning, our row was chosen for a random giveaway where everyone sitting in the row recieved free roundtrip airline tickets to New York City. While this was going on, I was up, getting a pretzel. FML

You deserved it 8 782

ZachooMackoo tells us more.

No, it was real. It was at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, which is never at capacity. And the tickets were the southwest airline new cheap ones, I think maybe $50. I went to fan assistance to try to get my ticket, and they said that they didn't even know about it, and the sponsor (southwest) was only there to distribute the flight tickets, then left. I tried calling, and they kept thinking I was trying to get extras for family or something. But, it was not a fake, the tickets were legit.

And why wouldn't they just honour your ticket stub? It's for the people with tickets (and who came to the game) for that row right? Not just the people who happened to be sitting there, no?

why on earth would they just give them to the people sitting right there? and that's only IF they had enough money to do that. usually you have to present your ticket stub at a counter for something like that

Maybe the OP didn't find out about the ticket thing until the game was over? *shrug* It's possible. By then, regardless of having a stub or not, it wouldn't have mattered. Either way, that sucks :(

#26, why would Fenway support New York? perhaps this is an April Fools Joke?

Your ticket would tell them that you were sitting in that row.

bet that was a really good pretzel.

You deserved that for leaving your seat. Simple solution, dont leave your seat, wait until the hot dog guy comes, buy a couple hot dogs from him and wait for the beer guy to get your beer. You never have to leave your seat. Theres a reason the vendors come to you.

#36 - but where's the pretzel guy? ya know, who cares. If the beer guy comes by enough times, you'll forget about the pretzel.

I think you would get the tickets anyway even if you weren't sitting at your seat at that exact moment, doesnt make sense. If you were dumb enough to go home and not fight this, then maybe you didn't deserve the trip.

Pretzels are much more delicious than NYC anyways.
