What the hell StubHub
Cubs fans aren't depressed enough
So now you send this?
Here is an email I received this afternoon from StubHub. The "Check it out" link points to the StubHub page to purchase LCS and WS tickets.
I thought it might be a practical joke from a friend, but the stubhub-mail.com domain is registered to StubHub. And the address matches other email I've received from StubHub, which also referred to "your Chicago Cubs" - presumably because I requested info on Cubs tickets in the past.
Did anyone else receive a similar email?
Wow . . . so how much they charging for this ticket? I'd be willing to put down quite a lot if they can make Cub playoff games appear out of thin air!
Cubs post season tix?
We all know how much they're worth
That would be ... priceless
Got one of these to watch the White Sox chase baseball immortality as well. Wonder if Washington Nationals fans got their offer too.
Careless programming
Has now embarrassed StubHub
Who could be so dumb?
Is it possible
That they just hate Chicago?
I tend to doubt that
An update ...
StubHub now admits
That "due to an email glitch"
Lots of fans got this
Of course, as a Google search will reveal, Chicago Sports In Haiku posted something about this story an hour before the Associated Press.
Just saying ...
(grin)
I got this email too . . . followed by the "so sorry" follow up. Thoughts it was sort of funny actually.
I agree ... it was pretty funny. When I saw the email, the oft-maligned Cubs fan in me thought it could be a practical joke by someone at StubHub. Then I heard that the same email went to fans of other teams, and StubHub blamed an "email glitch".
I'm not quite sure what's more embarrassing for StubHub - a rogue employee playing a joke on fans of a particular team, or careless marketing people failing to set up proper filters for a mass email.
BTW ... I'm still waiting for a "so sorry" followup email from StubHub.
