Forgot this happened! Great save! Love, A Displaced Yooper 💙

This is awesome! I'm glad you got to experience the U.P. It's easily the best part of the state. Also, kudos on the marketing. I never would have heard of TickPick before I saw this shared on the Because Marquette Facebook page yesterday.

I wish other companies would take this kind of responsibility to correct a mistake. Very impressed! You guys really went above & beyond 👍

[JAYSTONER]

Born and raised in Marquette im super proud to see this! Yoopers are often forgotten about as most people only think Detroit when asked about Mi in general. There is a whole nother world North of the Bridge and Detroit going on. Its called the U.P:>)

this is one of the most hilarious things I’ve watched in a while. If only the phone service companies would come and give away a tower.

Best thing I ever saw! I have worked in event ticket sales, and have had to deal with so many ticket scalping nightmares. Unsuspecting folks who unknowingly bought secondhand tickets that were upcharged, duplicate, invalid, or even fake. I've only bought resale tickets once, and it was with TickPick. Paid less than I expected, got legit tickets to a sold out show, and had no trouble getting in. Very good experience!

Hahaha I love this. It's that serious. I'm in southern Michigan, but I love visiting the U. P.

[hartrose]

I live in Michigan and I am just curious did you fire the guy that said the U. P. Was just a forest? Or maybe send him to Tahquamenon Falls in dead the winter. He will see the amazing views of the forest the frozen falls and beauty of Michigan in her slumber.

Tickpick is a great company! Really challenging the big companies that make billions from fees (Ticketmaster, StubHub, and Vivid Seats).


They're very much a baby company in my eyes, so people have to give them time to grow.



I buy a lot of my tickets on there.


Also just got started selling with them as well. I am a ticket broker and have them on my Point of Sale: Ticket Utils.


They've definitely gotten me a good amount of sales. Great site to sell on.

If I messaged yooper and got that reply I would start uncontrollably laughing.

Man, hope that Amber girl got hired in the PR department. What talent!

[Nopenotatall]

Tell me why I watched the whole ad then looked up this vid

[Jax]

No one is gonna comment how scary it is that a company could have been ruined and lives fucked over from people losing their jobs over this? I mean they said this was a PR crisis so it couldn’t be a small deal right? I don’t know maybe I’m over reacting but the whole situation seems to stem from people over reacting

As I have stated in a comment here, as well as in a Facebook message to your private profile, I am currently in the process of writing a book on Yooper hospitality. I'm actually nearing completion of the book and would love to include this story in the book. Brett, I have just a couple of quick questions for you concerning this story. I would love a little feedback, and I'd prefer to get it straight from the horse's mouth. I don't know of any other ways of contacting you, but have seen where you took the time to respond to a commenter here. Please show me the same respect and respond to me, whether here or on Facebook.

I really think this story in my book could do a lot of good for your company. The story (TickPick's) is also nearly complete. I just have a couple questions concerning that story and I would like to make sure I get it correct in my book. Your company is absolutely being portrayed in a very positive light in my book. Please help me wrap this story up and get my book sent out for editing. I'm on a pretty tight timeline here. A man in your position can certainly respect the importance of sticking to schedule.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this matter. -Adam Reed

you done fucked up lmfao. Great story and very well told btw. I personally would have found it funny if someone said the state I live in is the un important one xD

[LieutenantTbone]

Imagine having so little going on in your life that you attempt to destroy a company you’ve never done business with because they don’t have your remote concert venue-less shit hole on a map.

[weztheroadwarrior]

As a Michigander I can tell you most of the lower part could care less about the u.p.
