Fan Wins Two Stanley Cup Final Tickets, But Didn’t Realize It Until Over A Month Later
Hey folks, always check your Twitter.
There are two different types of people on this planet: ones that enter contests and ones that don’t. Andrew Fudge is someone that enters contests, wins them and then apparently forgets all about them.
So, here’s the story: Fudge, a Nashville Predators fan, entered a contest the team was running during their Stanley Cup Final series against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He entered the contest before Game Three and Game Four.
It turns out this selfie won him a pair of tickets to Game Six of the Stanley Cup Final in Nashville, but he didn’t find out until Monday morning. The game was on June 11, today is July 17.
Tickets for that eventual deciding Game Six were going for upwards of $1,000 by the way and this man missed out on two of them for free because he apparently is a rare breed that isn’t addicted to Twitter.
Just imagine opening Twitter this morning, seeing you have a message which is probably a rare site for someone who is never on Twitter and reading this. It could’ve been some bot message, maybe some automated something or another, but nope, instead this man had to read that he had won a pair of free tickets to a game on the NHL’s biggest stage over a month after the contest.
According to Deadspin, the Preds did confirm that Fudge won the tickets and never claimed them.
Always check Twitter, people.
