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

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?

the ticket should have the section, row, and seat number printed on it. just show the person who verifies the winners your ticket, and your good. i call BS on this one.

I was at this baseball game. It was Tuesday night at Camden Yards, Southwest is promoting their new flight service from BWI to Laguardia. They only gave the tickets to people who were seated at the time. FYL

I was at the Thursday afternoon game where they did the same thing! I think the real lesson here is that fans should stay in their seats during the game. True fans want to see ALL the plays.

dont worry new york is a bit rainey this time of year.... lol at #2...took me a minute...

Oriole's and Yankee's game on 4/8/2009. Orioles won 7-5 (Yankees suck) and the promotion was for one row-BWI to LaGuardia.

Really? Baltimore to NY? Just drive. Not like there's anything to see in NY anyways, unless you've never been to NYC, in which case "just drive" still stands.

who the **** says "I went to a professional baseball game". you probably didn't care about the game anyways and serves you right for not knowing that during prize give especially big ones you have to show your ticket stub. Unless its a food prize, and they give them out right away for the entire row.

That Sucks. Horribly. #2 has got the greatest pun I've seen on here in a long time.

First off, I say "I went to a professional baseball game." That is what it is, isn't it? And how can you say I don't care about the game just because I leave with 2 outs in the inning? This is not a fake, I know I can drive to new york, but if somebody wants to give you free tickets, that's better than driving. I DID show them my ticket stub, and they said it wasn't with the Orioles, it was Southwest, who had no proof that I didn't already get an airline ticket. The men who gave the tickets to the people in my row were apparently from SW, and as soon as they gave the tickets away, they left the ballpark.

Well, if you got tickets to New York, then you'd have to buy food and pay for a hotel. You saved a lot of money by getting a pretzel.
