The Bay Area couple and die-hard Niners fans who wired $5,900 to a Baltimore Ravens fan for Super Bowl tickets - only to get a taunting "Go Ravens! LOL!" FedEx package but no tickets in return - are going to the big game after all.
After a story on the couple was read around the globe this week, Ticketmaster CEO Nathan Hubbard called Sharon Osgood to offer four free tickets for her, her boyfriend and other family members who got scammed.
Hubbard also arranged for Osgood and her partner to have breakfast with NFL legend Troy Aikman.
Before word of that gift got out, the 49ers front office called with its own free-ticket offer. In all, the family has five tickets to the game - and good seats, too.
"My heart literally was in my throat; it was fluttering - I was like, 'Oh my God, I can't believe this is happening.' I can't put into words how grateful I am," Osgood, a 49-year-old utility worker, said between tears after getting the news.
A four-year season-ticket holder who has paid thousands of dollars to reserve seats in the team's new Santa Clara stadium, Osgood is still out the $5,900 she and her family gave to a scammer they met on Craigslist, though she has filed a police report in an attempt to catch whoever did it.
The story made waves because of how oddly cruel it seemed, sparking arguments among fans who either took pity on Osgood or blamed her for not being careful enough.
Osgood is hoping that, with the karmic universe now righted, her team will come through for a sixth Super Bowl title.
"I know they're going to win," she said.
