    OK. Hoodie arrived.

    Would some kind soul tell me the secret trick to getting the zipper open?

    Use last years flip flops for leverage?

    Doesn't Robbie Rogers have a clothing line? Maybe he can help you out during his downtime.

    Got mine. Zippers work. Good quality. I'm pleasantly surprised.

    I guess its technically not a marketing issue but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    an email I just received:

    "
    We are aware of ticket forwarding issues related to Yahoo domains and do not currently have a timetable for resolving this technical issue. Below are the current solutions we have should you need tickets sent via email for a game:

    • Use a different email address for your LA Galaxy account. Go to My Account or contact your LA Galaxy Service Executive to change this.
    • When forwarding tickets via My Account, forward them to a non-Yahoo email address.
    • Contact your service executive to send you a PDF of the tickets which you can then print or forward along.
    We thank you for your patience and apologize for this inconvenience."

    I seem to recall a similar (the same?) issue going back to last year.

    Yeah, there was an issue early on with a long delay between sending and receiving tickets. It seemed to have been sorted out fairly quickly into the season though. Not sure how it happened again...

    I still don't have my hoodies and was told today there is no timeline for when I'll get it.

    Maybe they're fixing the zippers?

    FC Dallas has used flash seats for the past few years, that acts as a digital ticket (through the phone, or can be tied to a credit card or team issued card). You can also buy/sell tickets through the app as well.

    I still haven't received my flip flops. Though that's entirely because I chose not to redeem them.

    Imagine how useful that would be if people were actually buying FC Dallas tickets!

    Damn, that's harsh.

    That being said i was able to actually offload my 4th of July tickets for double the face value last year as I was out of town.

    That team should be getting much more publicity and support than it is.

    Their on-field product and youth development is fantastic by MLS standards, yet casual observers would apparently rather watch Steven Gerrard do f-all for 90 minutes and a packed CenturyLink serenading 22 men trying to control a ball on a 100-yard concrete-filled Sleep Number Bed.

    Can you at least get into the spirit of the thing and bitch about the zipper?

    I was critical that LAFC was on Good Day L.A. Wednesday morning even though they don't start play until next year. But, we managed to get the talking heads on KTLA to wear some LAG scarves and give away free tickets this morning. So, I can't complain anymore, I suppose.

    Go Galaxy!

    True. I'm too old to remember when 69 jokes stopped being funny, but I'm pretty sure I still had PE.

    Nate Silver's 538 site put LA as the 5th most likely team to make the playoffs at 69%. The Galaxy social media team circled the number 69 with the caption "nice"

    Maybe I'm reading too much in to it, but I gather by their responses I wasn't the only one. Sixty-nine percent chance doesn't exactly warrant a "nice" in and of itself IMO.
