Let's think about the real world for a second. If Best Buy accidentally printed a flyer with a $0 price for a 42" TV, and let's say there's a local electronics disposal tax of $10, do you think you'd ever be able to walk out of a Best Buy with a TV for $10?

The correct outcome for this is for United to refund all the taxes, cancel the tickets, and for the DOT to tell everyone they're wasting they're time.
I agree except when does UA let us out of mistakes we made?
