The Terri Schiavo thing is everything you need to know about Jeb, and really nothing else about him is in any way better than how he behaved during that bullshit circus.

It’s probably my fault, because apparently I wrote my original comment terribly since everyone seems to be responding to a different issue than I was thinking about when I wrote it. I know how StubHub works with the Nats tickets, and have used that process enough that I really should have just bought a 1/4 season.

Yeah... I’m just wondering how the scanner hardware at the gate will “know” whether you’re using the Ticketmaster app or not. I guess Ticketmaster will be embedding some kind of code in the scan.

The Nats can still unquestionably scan your phone. Last season StubHub stated that you couldn’t anymore; so I printed tickets, asked the gate agent if that was true, he said “nope”, and I used tickets on my phone for the rest of the season.

Maybe re-read my question then. I get why not being able to use StubHub tickets would be problematic. What I was questioning was the assertion that StubHub doesn’t have mobile delivery of tickets. I use it frequently.

The more I’m thinking about it, unless they’re using a totally new technology (i.e. new code/code-reader methodology) there really isn’t anyway they could enforce this; is there? As long as a fan can still get the QR/Bar code they can just put it on their screen and there is no way for them to know you didn’t use…

The majority of the time, but admittedly not 100% of the time, they have a mobile delivery option. No idea why it’s sometimes not available; but as one of the guys above suggested, it’s likely their team partnership allows them the flexibility of doing mobile delivery.

Thanks for the helpful response Chief.

I’m not arguing this isn’t still a dumb move; but I’ve bought tons of tickets to Nats games on StubHub and almost universally have had them delivered as mobile tickets. Am I missing something?

I just lost it with the escalating anger here.

A million times this.

A million times this.

From your comment:

Are you accusing Burneko of writing a Cam isn’t a leader take. Your comment doesn’t seem to make much sense after reading the story posted above it.

$28,000 last year for two kids in the DC suburbs, and we’re at one of the “cheaper” day cares in our area. I think I cried a little reading this.

I’ve never done the wine bottle in a shoe thing, but I have banged the bottom of a bottle against a tree - without a shoe - with easy success (usually only requires a handful of strikes). The bigger the bevel on the bottom the easier it is.

God damn-it, it still sounds like fucking sports radio. There’s a reason I read Funbag, and ignore Deadcast.

Are we sure about that?

Sometimes I go home for lunch and turn on the MLB network; Russo is typically on then, and every time I see/hear him I’m convinced he’s having a seizure. How in the hell does this attract any listeners?

This is my favorite statistic... though I usually claim 78%.

Screens can be irritating. I stare at one—sometimes even two—all day for work, and my eyes burn by the end of the day if I don’t take breaks.
