MLB’s #DOMINoNo promotion is not going so well

Oops. Looks like MLB and Dominos are throwing their own no hitter. #dominono pizza for you! pic.twitter.com/k4fJMhVIhO

Last year, MLB had this promotion in which following a no-hitter, fans can claim a code for a free pizza from Domino’s. I did it last year and it was cool.

Today they ran the same promotion. The only problem is that the server was down when it was time to claim the pizza and the reactions on Twitter is pretty funny. Well, it’s funny unless you’re really hungry.

It’s pretty embarrassing for MLB and Domino’s.

@dominos social media promotion w/o tech infrastructure to support = bad #PR #DomiNoNo

Looks like it’s a no-no for my chances of getting a #DomiNoNo pizza today. pic.twitter.com/k4IPILyOwS

Limited amount of free pizza = crashed web site and angry tweeters. Terrible move that’ll lose @Dominos fans #Dominono #Dominomopizza

Watching people complain about the #DomiNoNo crash on http://t.co/AWzZQBUjoq is almost as entertaining as getting the pizza would have been.

#dominono appears to mean NO NO Dominos for anyone. @MLB @dominos

#dominono is the #Obamacare of web promotion.

Because a multi-billion dollar industry should be able to handle thousands of requests on its website at once. #YesAllPizza #DomiNoNo

Hey #DomiNoNo, don’t tell people to go to a site if your site is going to crash if people actually go to it.
