An old email address kept a North Texas woman from getting paid for event tickets she sold online. NBC 5 Responds stepped in to help get things updated and get her paid.
Elisabeth Hamilton was excited to attend a Texas Longhorns football game with her son this season, and bought tickets online from Seat Geek.
But because of a scheduling conflict, she couldn’t attend.
She re-sold the tickets on the same site but when Hamilton tried to collect the money, there was a hiccup.
Seat Geek had one of her old email addresses on file, and Hamilton no longer had access to that email account.

After weeks of not being able to get the issue fixed with Seat Geek, Hamilton reached out to NBC 5 Responds for help.
We contacted Seat Geek, and they helped Hamilton retrieve her money - a total of $540.
Seat Geek declined to give a statement, but confirmed the issue was fixed.
