Disgust? You are very naive sir if you don’t think the fat cats are not lining their pockets with free millions and billions during these bailouts packages. So much so that some big companies get embarrassed when exposed and give some back. If you don’t fight for your just due, not theft, benefits due to you that’s on you. IRS has billions every year of unclaimed tax refunds and inheritance money. Disgust? Yeah okay, just sit on the sidelines and complain and do nothing if you want but other folks fight for their hard worked for benefits.
@ RAMS FAN: I hope all of you stay healthy in Temple City.
I believe that everyone should boycott StubHub unless it changes its ways. As things currently stand, they deserve to go out of business. They’re the epitome of greed.
As for MLB, all of the teams should refund the ticket money for any of their 81 scheduled home games that don’t get played this year. It’s very doubtful that there will be a full 162-game season; there may not be any season at all.
Let’s see what happens, and then we can act accordingly.
? You disgust me.
From T. Peterson: Facts though.
#10: I’m getting 450$ a week from state unemployment benefits, 600$ a week from federal unemployment benefits, a 3400$ check sitting on the table, who knows how much MLB is gonna give me for my part-time gig, and the old lady sells Avon and got approved for a small business loan that you don’t have to pay back. I don’t have to pay mortgage or car payment for 3 months and a student loan has just been forgiven. My son picks up 4 lunches from the school 7 days a week and I can’t squeeze any more free food into the freezer from the food pantry. What a country.
#6 Stub Hub in particular has been un-sympathetic to requests for refunds. They blame MLB because no games have been cancelled. only postponed. When the games are officially cancelled they will issue credits toward future events, not refunds. So my son who has $1600. in opening day tickets for the Dodgers gets the middle finger and a big F U from Stub Hub. I hope they understand that for every action there’s a reaction. Very short sighted.
