PHILADELPHIA -- A Philadelphia woman charged with offering

sex for World Series tickets says she's embarrassed about her

arrest, but did nothing wrong and is still hopeful of attending a

game.

"I didn't do anything wrong, so I'm not embarrassed about my

actions. I'm embarrassed about how I was arrested," Susan

Finkelstein told The Associated Press in a phone interview

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 is 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 University of Pennsylvania graduate student

wanted to take her husband to a game between her beloved

Philadelphia Phillies and the New York 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.

"If somebody read into that posting a sexual connotation,

that's on them. There's no overt sexual reference," Brennan said.

Finkelstein told WPVI-TV she was looking to get a deal on

tickets.

"I was hoping to get cheap tickets," she said, "maybe meet

someone, and talk, and bat my eyelashes and maybe get some

tickets."

Finkelstein faces a preliminary hearing in Bucks County on Dec.

3. On the bright side, she's been offered a pair of tickets to a

weekend game in Philadelphia, courtesy of a radio station and car

dealer.

"It definitely wasn't worth all this ... turmoil and anxiety,"

she told the AP with her lawyer and husband, 56-year-old John

LaVoy, on the line. "Hopefully, the silver lining is I do get to

see the game."

She is not worried about the notoriety that might follow her to

the stadium in the wake of national news coverage of her arrest.

"I think most people will be focused on the game," Finkelstein

said.
