I received this email earlier tonight from Stubhub that after exhausting all legal appeals, they turned over to the Patriots the names of all those who bought, sold, or bid on Patriots tickets......after the lawsuit was filed, from Jan 2007 to now. I don't think it affects me as I am not on any season ticket waiting list but I wonder if the team will punish those people.
My point is and has been what is a Patriot fan who lives out of state as I do, supposed to do if they want to see a home game? Stubhub and EBay are the only feasible options and even if I have to pay through the nose, it's worth it. It was definitely more fun being able to cheer for the Pats than at both Meadowlands games last year....
They are still selling them at Stubhub, so the Patriots didn't get ( maybe they didn't ask for) an injunction stopping it.....

Maybe I'm nuts but that list of 13000 names, or at least the names of the buyers would make one heck of a marketing list of people willing to pay, and pay big $$$ for Patriots tickets.......[/SIZE][/FONT]

Dear XXXXXX XXXXXX,
As you may know, in November of 2006, the New England Patriots filed a lawsuit against StubHub over our right to provide a marketplace for the resale of Patriots tickets. As part of the lawsuit, the Massachusetts Superior Court ordered StubHub to surrender the contact information of StubHub customers who bought, bid on, listed or sold tickets to a Patriots home game from November 2002 to January 2007.
After exhausting our appeals, we were required to comply with the court's order. Despite our continued efforts to fight turning this information over to the Patriots, the court recently ordered StubHub to surrender that same information (contact information of StubHub customers who bought, bid on, listed or sold tickets to a Patriots home game) from January 24, 2007 going forward. In light of this recent ruling, you have been identified as a customer whose contact information, listing and/or transactional information, must be provided to the Patriots.
We appreciate your patience with this ongoing dispute. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact us at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Chris Tsakalakis
