A Super Bowl ticket seller has filed for bankruptcy to deal with upset customers who showed up to Super Bowl XVIX in Arizona only to find out that their ticket purchases had fallen through, in some cases, just hours before kick-off, the Wall Street Journal reported today. The Queens, N.Y.-based SBTickets.com issued refunds, but customers who had journeyed from as far as Brazil, Australia and Papua New Guinea are pushing for travel and lodging money for missing out on the New England Patriots’ win over the Seattle Seahawks via that jaw-dropping interception in the final seconds. Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson, whose office has taken 35 complaints against the company, sued SBTickets.com in March, seeking $2,000 per violation of the state’s Consumer Protection Act.
