The e-mail winners notice below wasn't sent until 7pm Sunday.
Then they only give you until 11:59pm last night to respond.
At that time you received a code and a voucher printed to take
to Dodger Stadium 8am to 6pm TODAY ONLY to get your ticket.
In essence, if you were already not on the west coast, you
were just not going to be able to make it happen.

You'll have to satisfy yourself by singing along with Cartman and imagining what it would have been like to ride the train with Mr. Jackson (er, Jefferson).
Re: I won Michael Jackson Memorial Tickets....and got screwed

Could they make this any more complicated? I mean, this isn't going to be a MENSA convention...we are talking about Michael Jackson fans here. There are 15 ways for them to screw up these instructions on EACH line.
Be glued to your TV's on Tuesday folks. I predict there will be weirdness & foolishness like nothing you've ever seen before.
It is just a shame that Eddie won't be able to experience it in person.
Check out this video I found on youtube. Interesting video that shows how a young black man can grow up to be a scary white clown monster. Only in America!
