My cat, Justine Purrlander, and I watching the pitcher she was named after @JustinVerlander one final time. Go @Tigers!!

[Detroit Tigers @tigers]

For the first time in 3,324 days, Justin Verlander takes the mound at Comerica Park 🐐

@Technovangelist @Airbnb Because they’re not houseguests. They’re paying customers. The same way no one helps the restaurant cleanup or do dishes after dinner is over, even though that would be totally normal if you went to a friends dinner get together.

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

You should sue them for millions.

Like you said it’s not about the thousands you paid for tickets. Those memories are irreplaceable. Worth much more than the cost of a seat.

And it’s not like the Brewers will be back any time soon.

The sickening stories keeping coming in…😢😢😢

SHAME ON YOU, @StubHub.

Imagine being a kid, a HUGE @Brewers fan, and finding out you’re going to see your team play in the WORLD SERIES! ⚾️💙💛

The excitement. The anticipation. The memories you’re already imagining making.

Now imagine having that excitement ripped away because a company sold your 3 tickets that you bought, that they apparently can’t deliver.

That’s exactly what we’re dealing with right now.

We purchased THREE tickets to the Milwaukee Brewers World Series for Game 1 last Tuesday(13th) through StubHub. We selected our section, our row, paid for our tickets, and received our order confirmation.

Everything was supposed to be set.

Then suddenly, StubHub tells us they’re “searching for replacement options” because they can’t provide the tickets we purchased.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

How does a company accept someone’s hard earned money, confirm a purchase, and then turn around and say they can’t fulfill it?!

And their solution? We can request a refund while they continue looking for tickets.

THIS ISN’T ABOUT THE MONEY.

It’s about the experience. It’s about the memories. It’s about the excitement of a kid, his dad, and grandpa, who thought they were going to watch their favorite baseball team play on the biggest stage in baseball.

Look at the first picture. That’s the disappointment you’re creating, StubHub.

A refund doesn’t replace that moment.

And here’s what really bothers me…

StubHub advertises a “FanProtect Guarantee” and tells customers their orders are “100% guaranteed.”

Guaranteed WHAT, exactly?!

Because from where we’re sitting, that guarantee doesn’t feel worth much when you can’t deliver the tickets you sold us.

We did everything right. We purchased through a major ticket marketplace. We trusted the confirmation. We trusted the guarantee.

Now it’s time for StubHub to make it right.

We aren’t asking for anything extra. We want the three tickets we paid for, or comparable or better seats together, at no additional cost.

Stubhub…DO BETTER.

Please SHARE this. Not just for us, but for every fan who has trusted a ticket company with an experience that means so much more than the price of admission.

@KoreaPistonsFan @Johnny__Kane Good for you, but “other parts of the country” had me cracking up. I think he literally has no ideas you guys live in Australia and Korea and some PR/Social person just handed him a script to read.
Still cool just funny!

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@KoreaPistonsFan Sad, Ebuka never made it in the game. I’m told Pistons might be feeding Dannis more minutes so they can build up his trade value and then rely on Ebuka more later in the season.

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

Didn’t y’all get swept?

[SleeperDodgers @SleeperDodgers]

Just a friendly reminder that the Dodgers had the Brewers on the ropes and would’ve beaten them 9/10 times

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@SleeperTigers @Castellani2014 @DatabaseHit @bythewaybro @therogcast If this guy’s a big time free agent why would we bat him so low in the lineup? And for that matter, why is Max Clark at 8 instead of 2?

I think Dingler should be closer to 5/6 to take pressure off him.

Unless he has a miraculous comeback, Carpenter shouldn’t be so high.

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@TravisBiziorek I was actually looking through that as well speak!

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

Hi @TravisBiziorek 👋 do you have a few minutes to talk about Detroit real estate next week?

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@MartyMcRide I remember watching this play from my brother-in-law’s living room in 2022. It was such a disappointing game, made better only by hanging out with my nieces and nephew to help me forget!

I also remember watching Michigan beating Ohio State the next season from his living room!

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@On3 @anthonytbroome @Mikephowes Will Bryce Underwood be starting at Maryland next season?

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@emmitonair Adrian Peterson and Blake Corum come to mind.

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@JoeReynoldsAH2 @TaylorLewan77 @TaylorLewan77 that you?

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@Thefrugalgay11 I thought everything was cheaper in Toledo? Ahahah

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@PistonsLead @DetSportsDaily What’s the issue? I didn’t even realize there was a feud.

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@TravisBiziorek How does that downpayment program work?

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@JoeReynoldsAH2 Whoa. Marshall Faulk was one of the most elusive RBs ever. It’s hard to imagine.

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

Bryce Underwood beat out a moldy house.

@bluffbet_h @Hoopss Matthew Stafford did it better.

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

@Devoted2DET With the @Lions luck, TA will probably win this award in 10 years when he gets out of prison.

[The Traveling Cat Dad @timdevaney]

You’re right, @davidhuey. I don’t want to pay an extra $20.

But here’s the thing you’re missing: I’ll just go to a hotel.

If Airbnb can’t deliver a better experience without charging more or requiring manual labor, I’m perfectly happy at @Hilton @Marriott @Hyatt.

[david @davidhuey]

Sounds good, but now cleaners will have to be paid more and fees will go up.

So not taking out trash, doing dishes is going to cost you more - and my guess is people would rather do 5-10 mins of cleaning than pay an extra $20.
