Atlanta Hawks’ Ashley Madison-Themed Ticket Promo Is Something Else

The recent Ashley Madison site hack led to panic and in some cases, ruin, as would-be cheaters had their identities exposed.

“Have you had a little rough patch with your first love?” the commercial asks. “Maybe they just don’t deliver the excitement you need anymore”, Madison says before hitting viewers with a pitch for tickets.

For those who may have been on holiday and missed it – a group of hackers called “The Impact Group” stole the customer dataset from Ashley Madison, a website which invited members to sign up to find matches with other members for the objective of having an “affair”. Ten nights of pure unadulterated excitement. Rather than enabling marital infidelity, however, the Hawks want to lure you away from your old sports team with their seasonal flex plan. The Hawks have even set up a hotline (855-HAWK-LUV) that puts fans in contact with a sexy voiced woman while they wait to speak to an actual ticket representative, according to ESPN.

“Everyone thought it was a good idea, which actually scared me.”

A 10-game flex plan starts at $250 for an upper-level seat.
