The Billy Goat Curse on the Chicago Cubs:
In 1945 (I think), a fan wanted to see the game at Wringley Field (in Chicago) along with his goat.
However, the Cubs Manager wanted that goat to be taken out of the stadium because he said it stinks. The owner of the goat said that he paid for his ticket and wanted to see the game with his goat, but the manager refused to let him.
As a result, the owner of the goat said "From now and on, the Cubs will never see the World Series ever again."
Now, 48 years later (today), the Cubs STILL never managed to see the World Series since then. In fact, the curse was so serious that the goat owner took his promise all the way to his grave.
So, I guess that owner (I think his name is Billy. Maybe that's why they say Billy the Goat) is in heaven and he's still holding on to his promise.
The moral of this story is:
Always give the customer his or her chance. Otherwise, you might get something bad in return.
Bad News:
Tickets for the Pro Player Stadium have been sold 3 HOURS after the sale began.
For every ticket that has been purchased through the counter, 550 tickets have already been sold out through the internet. In 3 hours, all tickets have been sold out.
This left over thousands of people (who were waiting in line) here in Miami to go home empty-handed. In fact, some of those people have been waiting in line since 10:00PM last night only to hear that the tickets have been sold out. I feel truely for those people.
Those who have purchased the tickets already are now selling them over Ebay for as much as $2,499.00. And thats' only for a pair of tickets.
:-/
Not only that. At the ticket master, the most expensive price is at $170.00 per ticket. The cheapest is at $60.00. The only problem, they're all sold out.
