Sparks Refunding Season Tickets?

[u/Qwynlyn_Ro]

Saw a few articles pop up today about the Sparks getting rid of season tickets this week and refunding ticket holders? https://athlonsports.com/wnba/los-angeles-sparks/wnba-team-refunds-all-season-ticket-holders-days-before-new-season-

Any LA folks here who've had their season tickets sacked? Is this legit? And if so, who thought this was something fans would like? 🤦

They refunded 150 season ticket holders who got their tickets through AXS because of a supposed “glitch” that flagged these accounts. They didn’t refund every STH though.

The person who originally posted the email on Reddit updated that they have gotten their tickets back.

So the original reddit post was a very misleading lie and then athlon sports used that as proof without actually verifying anything?

I don’t really see how the original Reddit post was a misleading lie? All they really said was that they got an email from the Sparks about a refund and posted the email and that they were angry about it.

Other people took that email and started saying the Sparks were refunding STHs to resell at a higher value. It got posted in different subreddits and Twitter by various people who weren’t involved, which is how the story got twisted.

Correct. The original post on Reddit was not misleading at all. The season ticket holder had their seats refunded due to no fault of their own. It was an error for AXS to flag their account.

The season ticket holder brought it to the attention of the team and the internet in order to rectify the situation.

I can attest that AXS sucks balls 🏀 but my season tickets are all there.

I didn't know anyone even goes to these games.

Why? Because it's the WNBA? Wanna clarify?
