T-Mobile Trivia Challenge Winners

In probably the dumbest attempt to pose a decent trivia question in years, the two winners, after a freakin' gigantic random number draw, are:

olivarezq1 and jasonmicron

E-mail michelle@sbnation.com for your tickets.  Congratulations, and I promise the next question will not be so easy.

UPDATE: One of you has not e-mailed Michelle yet.  It's too late, sorry.  Check your e-mail to see if Michelle has contacted you.

Important!

They are flash tickets, not tickets left for you. I wasted about the first quarter trying to convince the ticket people at will call that I indeed had won a contest for the tickets. They took my ID and searched my name and couldn’t find anything. The entire time, they looked at me like I was the stupidest person alive or that I had been scammed.

Anyways, finally figured out (thanks to Deborah-the other winner) that the tickets were flash seats. Unbelievable seats. Fourth row, on the court, across from the visiting bench.

How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!

Oh man, I’m never going forgive myself for winning and forgetting to check in time.

??

i didnt win, but what are flash tickets???

You go to the entrance and show them ID/credit card you bought tickets with

They have little printers attached to their hips that print out tickets that you show to the people inside. It’s a lot more convenient than having to bring actual tickets to the game cause you could lose/forget them. Just don’t forget your wallet when you go to the game with FlashSeats.

Bad luck with the draw, buddy.

But seriously, that’s awesome. How do you know Kyle?

If you know Kyle so well

Stop trying to win tickets from the poor people who can’t afford them damnit! Tell him to get you free ones!

And tell him to get me some too, thanks buddy :-)

you can give people advice

When you learn to google search the answer instead of a hair-brained guess.

I don’t mean this in a really mean sense, more so in a ’i’m kind of just an asshole but still thought it was funny’ sense.

maybe

he thought we were supposed to guess akin to the previous t-mobile challenges and wanted to keep his integrity by not using google

by awesomesauce on Jan 27, 2010 6:22 PM CST up reply actions  

Wow, I didn't think I'd win

So I didn’t check back. Of course, the one time that 50 people all tie I beat the odds and win – and then lose – tickets. Gah!

Sorry, I’ll pay attention next time!
