Free Tickets

Filed under: Athletic Department,Football,Money — Chas @ 12:11 pm

Were you a student between December 4, 2006 through January 31, 2008? Did you buy a student ticket to a Pitt sporting event over the internet?

If so, then you get your choice of a free ticket to the Rutgers-Pitt football game on October 25 or the Louisville-Pitt game on November 8 (hat tip to Todd Gack).

This is the settlement for a class action lawsuit (PDF, Coella V. University of Pittsburgh, Case No.: 2:08-CV-00129) for an alleged violation by Pitt of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA).

Specifically, Plaintiff claims that the University of Pittsburgh printed the expiration date of students’ credit or debit cards on receipts issued to them in conjunction with the purchase of sporting event tickets via the Internet, in violation of FACTA, as specifically set forth in the Complaint…

You can either submit your claim online, or print this form (PDF) and send it via snail mail for your free ticket.

Offer expires July 14, 2008.





This is ridiculous. I hope no one does this. We don’t need to be participating in silly lawsuits that hurt Pitt. Go to the games and pay for your damn tickets.

Put it this way, the stadium might not look as empty.

YEAH!!! Take that! That will teach you for printing experation dates on the back of tickets or something or other. I bet the lawyer who did this took the case for free, he was just looking out for us little people and sticking to the man. They should make a lawyer movie about him. By God we have FACTA laws for a reason! The next time someone thinks they can just go out and print out experation dates, they will realize that it will cost them ticket revenue or something.

Great. I can’t wait to take the abuse from the local a-holes over this. They make fun of our empty stadium enough as it is.
