Well, there's a collectible -- they can't spell Los Angeles, one of the world's best-known cities.

Here I was fretting over where my Oakland and Los Angeles USB sticks had got to, and now that they've arrived, I haven't got around to listening to them yet :D.

If they corrected the spelling mistake early on in the production run then the mis-spelled ones may be worth something to collectors now as would be quite rare! :lol

Their answer was kind of sorry, but this is how is going to be, not any offer to send a new stick with the correct name  :(

When they sent me the Liverpool and Newcastle usb, one of them came without the sticker. I told them and they promised to send me the sticker. They never did. My guess? They print a certain number of stickers and when they ran out, there are no more stickers. My case wasn

When I saw the mistake in the LA stick I though "My God, they wrote every single city right in the European batch of sticks, even the most difficult ones, and they are making the mistake in one of the most famous cities in the world"

Not exactly  :)

I'm the proud owner of the stick from Malta, where as the name of a city was written "Valetta" with one letter L instead of Valletta.
Even more, this concert took place in the little town Floriana in fact  :)

I have to say I was really bummed my sister said her Saint-Julien-en-Genevois stick was incorrectly identified as "Geneva".  Not a spelling error...  they got the city and the COUNTRY wrong.   :( 

On the bright side...  the music is amazing!!!  :D
