Love them or hate them (hi, Taylor Swift), you kind of have to use this sort of company for most sporting events. I was going to a football game with a friend, and my buddy shared my ticket with me. In the 30-minute Uber to get to the game, I planned to spend 29 minutes listening to podcasts and one minute getting my tickets.

I picked up my iPhone and saw a text from a five-digit number. My heart gazelled – I just knew it was the airline telling me my flight was delayed, or worse, canceled. But it wasn’t. A delay that is. It was my airline saying, “We’ll see you soon! Your flight to Denver departs at 11:35am from Gate B6.” This message was like a ‘good morning text’ from a lover, and so unlike the texts I usually get from airlines (gate changes, delays).
