False advertising

Opening Night Ticket Purchase Opportunity

That was the subject of an e-mail I received from the Phillies yesterday. Christine got the same message in four different e-mail accounts. We thought it meant we won the opportunity to purchase tickets to opening night.

Apparently not:

Dear Phillies Fan,
Thank you for registering for a chance to purchase tickets for the Phillies Modell's Sporting Goods Opening Night (4/5) game. Unfortunately, your entry was not selected for an opportunity to purchase tickets for Opening Night.

But just as we were about to have the championship afterglow dimmed by this experience, the Phillies made up for it with something better than being at opening night - $8 off tickets to games against the Brewers in April. Yeah, sitting in the cold park for a random game against the Brewers for $14 is much better than watching the championship banner being raised.
