ESPN Not So Awesomely Is Kind of Fibbing About ‘Exclusive Tickets for Insider Members’

by Brinson on September 29, 2008

I’m not one for helping ESPN out with their cost-per-click advertising, but when I got an email from “ESPN Insider” offering me exclusive deals on hot new tickets, I’ll admit, I was curious to see how it would redirect. So I clicked. And it wasn’t RazrGator or StubHub or someone I could kind of get behind. Hell no. It was TICKETMASTER.

Dear Insider,

You already have the most exclusive access to predictive sports analysis and tools anywhere with ESPN Insider, but we want to give you more. As an Insider, you now have access to pre-sale tickets to some of your favorite NBA teams! Get the best seats before the general public!

Pre-sale tickets are available this week for the following teams (click below to purchase):

Charlotte Bobcats (Password: ESPNCATS)

For access to pre-sale tickets to other NBA teams, click here.

And I suppose this would be super-sweet if I were actually getting the jump on the legions of ticket-hungry Bobcats fans out there. But I’m not. Because, as you can see, anyone can purchase these Bobcats tickets right now.

But I would imagine the WWL picked up a few hundred grand by giving Ticketmaster an eBlast on their Insider list, so, yeah, thanks for that ESPN.
