I am not a huge fan of my home state AG Mike Cox, but this news story about him is great. (From the Detroit Free Press' Chris Christoff)
LANSING -- Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox took steps Thursday to ensure that Red Wings fans aren't completely frozen out of the Igloo.
Only fans in Pennsylvania, seven adjacent states and the District of Columbia can buy tickets via Ticketmaster to Saturday's Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals in Pittsburgh. No Michigan fans need apply, according to the Ticketmaster Web site.
Cox wasn't having it. He rang up Ticketmaster and the Pittsburgh Penguins to complain. And in a triumphant announcement, he assured Michigan fans they could still buy resale tickets online.
Ticketmaster said the restriction applied only to direct sales, not Ticketmaster's online resales from season-ticket holders and others.
"The way the Web site is written, you would not have known that," Cox spokesman Rusty Hills said. The same rules apply if Game 6 is necessary in Pittsburgh.
"Great job" to Cox standing up for the great people of Michigan! GO WINGS!
