PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A Philadelphia woman charged with offering sex for World Series tickets looks she might actually be going to a game.
Philly radio station Wired 96.5 will give Susan Finkelstein and her husband two tickets for Game 3 in Philadelphia between the Phillies and the New York Yankees, TV station MyFoxPhilly reported Wednesday.

The couple has to pick up the tickets from Wired 96.5 by Friday, according to MyFoxPhilly. Game 3 is Saturday and will be broadcast on FOX.
Susan Finkelstein says she's embarrassed about her arrest, but did nothing wrong.
"I didn't do anything wrong, so I'm not embarrassed about my actions. I'm embarrassed about how I was arrested," she told The Associated Press in a phone interview on Wednesday, a day after meeting at a suburban bar with an undercover police officer responding to an ad on Craigslist.
Finkelstein's lawyer said his client was merely "a nice lady overcome with Phillies fever."
She might have dropped double entendres in her Craigslist ad but never explicitly offered sex, her lawyer William J. Brennan said.
The 43-year-old Finkelstein wanted to take her husband to a game between her beloved Phillies and the Yankees. The self-described "buxom blonde" said she was simply trying to score tickets online, as she had in the past.
Over a few beers at a suburban bar, she told a police officer she needed two tickets, one for herself and one for her husband. No price had been discussed, and Finkelstein and her lawyer stopped short of recounting specifics of what was said before several officers sitting at a nearby table came to arrest her.
Brennan hopes to get the misdemeanor charge of promoting prostitution dismissed.
Finkelstein told Philadelphia's WPVI-TV she was looking to get a deal on tickets. "I was hoping to maybe meet someone, and talk, and bat my eyelashes and maybe get some tickets," she said. I WOULD DO HER FOR TIXS.
