This morning at 8:03 I got 2 mails. First one was from WSU Athletic Department with info about my opportunity to upgrade or relocate my season tickets. The second email was from the effing husky ticket office, saying that tomorrow I can upgrade my tickets. WTF is up with that? I suspect that some supplier/contractor that WSU uses for ticket processing has cross contaminated some data bases with that shit from the huskies.
So I called the WSU Ticket Office and asked WTH was up with that. Gal didn't know, asked her supervisor about it. Came back and said they were aware of a problem and asked me to forward the email to them. Wanted my buddy to do the same, as I found out he had received the same spam. Anybody else got that crap in their inbox? If so, you might want to also forward it to athletictickets@wsu.edu for their attention to the issue.
Update: Late in the afternoon yesterday I got a call from WSU Ticket Office saying that they had figured out the cause of the problem and it was being corrected. Turns out to be what I had suspected, the issue was the contractor that both schools used for ticket processing. Then about 6:30 I got an email from the president of the "Technology Partner" (Paciolan) apologizing for their mistake. She said that the root problem had been solved/corrected, would not happen again, and that our data and account was not exposed to others.
I hope that is all true and I will give props to WSU TO for jumping on this issue and getting it taken care of quickly.
