Well the Tribe has done it. Wasted a 3-1 lead in the American League Championship Series. After their complete collapse in games 5 & 6, they pretty much rolled over and died after about 6 innings last night in game 7. It sucks that they lost, but it sucks even more that Stephanie and I had managed to get tickets to the World Series if Cleveland had made it. Stephanie had signed up for the ticket lottery and was selected. I sat at work this past Wednesday frantically trying to get whatever tickets were left by the time Ticketmaster opened up sales to the public (who had gotten a code from the Indians...or who had bought one of these codes on eBay for $175+).
Games 1 & 2 were completely sold out, but I was able to get tickets to a potential game 6 of the series. Nose bleed seats...but World Series tickets nonetheless.
Could we have sold these tickets and made even more profit than the Hannah Montana tickets?
Unfortunately, now that it's going to be a Rockies v. Red Socks World Series, these Indians tickets aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Maybe next year.
Go Tribe.

So what happens with your non-tickets? Do you just get a refund?
Maybe your ticket will be worth something. Kind of like a Dewey Defeats Truman kind of thing?
You get a refund of the full ticket price. However, Ticketmaster keeps their order fee and the biggest scam of all, they keep the "TicketFast" charge.
TicketFast is where you save Ticketmaster money by agreeing to just have the tickets emailed to you. Ticketmaster doesn't have to print or mail them, they just have to email a .pdf. For this difficult task, they charge ~$2 ticket.
How they get away with such blatant price gouging is beyond me.
It's easier (and cheaper) to just hate sports....
