DESCRIPTION

Me and my friends tried to get tickets to the Foo Fighters Sonic Highways Premiere and LIVE show at the Cubby Bear in Chicago, IL this Friday 10/17/14. We could not get tickets as they sold out within minutes. Immediately following the sale of tickets this prick posted an ad on Craigslist with some lie that his friend backed out due to family commitments. He was now selling his extra ticket $20 for $850. Not only is this illegal, but it is a total dick move to try to profit off a rare show that a lot of Foo Fighter fans would love to see. Therefore, we decided to mess with him by pretending we were Brock Forsey (Ex-Chicago Bear running back) and bid for the tickets. What ensued is hilarious. I hope the Cubby Bear or the Foo Fighters actually do see this and revoke this guy's tickets. Follow the Blue Pages as you go for the story line. Enjoy....

Brock,Do I need to do anything for the bears tickets? You mentioned sending them through stub hub but ihave only ever purchased tickets through stub hub never done a ticket transfer so not sure if i need todo anything specific. If they are electronic tickets couldn't you just email them to my attention?

Also, i just want to be sure you are 100% going to take the ticket. I have had a couple offers for thesame value and will hold them for you as long as your absolutely certain.

That works for me!!

My name is Bob Kedzorski - email is [email protected]

We could do the exchange at will call when we meet. I figured we would meet there the night of theshow but can call the cubby bear to see if I can pickup early. I doubt they will let me pickup early asthey are requiring the person who purchased the tickets present there credit card at the door so Iwould have go in with you to make sure there are no issues.

Let me know if that works

Also, here is my cell phone if you want to text/call me - 847-826-6969

Hey,

Sorry for the delayed response, I was calling around to find tickets. Donnell said he could get meall four of his tickets for the Vikings game, no problem. He said the easiest way to get you thetickets is electronically, which is what I normally do. Sorry, I didn't even get your name yet. If yousend me your name and email address, I'll have Donnell send you the tickets through Stub Hub.

$1,100 plus the 4 Bears-Vikings tickets for the Foo Fighter ticket works for me. Since the FooFighter tickets are will call, I'm assuming I'll have to meet you at the Cubby Bear Will Call in orderto exchange the money and the tickets. Let me know if you want to meet there the night of theconcert or before hand?

Thanks.

I have couple options for tickets. I don't have season tickets, but from my time with theBears I have a lot of players and ex-players I talk to for tickets. My good friend DonnellWoolford has season tickets, but rarely goes to the games. He always gives me ticketswhen I ask. I could probably could get any of the remaining home games other than thisweek versus the Dolphins. The seats are great. South endzone about 20 rows up.

After Brock Forsey received Bob Kedzorski’s info in Part 1, a fake email from Dean Rhodes of the Cubby Bear was sent to Bob Kedzorski telling him his tickets have been revoked due to illegal resale.

Hello,

It has come to our attention that the tickets you purchased for the HBO Presents: Foo Fighters Sonic Highways show at the Cubby Bear on Friday 10/17/2014 have been placed on a secondary resale market such as Craigslist or StubHub. The user agreement form for Ticket Web, The Cubby Bear, and the artist (Foo Fighters) expressly prohibits this action. As a result of this, the ticket(s) you purchased have been cancelled and will again be made available to the public. In addition to this, your right to a refund has also been forfeited as this is a violation of the user agreement and Illinois state law (720 Illinois Compiled Statute 375/1).

"We have made a specific effort on the Sonic Highways tour to prevent ticket resale and we are asking other artists to take similar measures to discourage it throughout the industry. These tickets are intentionally set at a price and quantity limit to allow Foo Fighters fans from all walks to see us perform live. We are making an effort to take a strong stand against ticket scalpers, because they suck. We know that the market could support us charging five times what we do, and we're not doing it, so others shouldn't either. If you aren't planning to go to the show, don't buy the ticket. We appreciate our fans and the fact that they allow us to do this for our jobs and want to ensure these tickets end up in their hands." - Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters

We respect the wishes of the artist and have cancelled your ticket(s).

This email has been sent to [email protected]. (Please do not reply to this email as it is sent from a non-monitored account.)

So you have no connection to the cubby bear? Because when I mentioned speaking with you and provided your name and email address they knew nothing about you.

Just confused. If you don't work for or at the cubby bear please let me know because the cubby bear asked I provide your information so they can contact the local authority's. Something about some spam email or something but I didn't want to give them your name if you do truly work there.
