2006 Cubs Ticket Successes and Failures Thread

[Jon]

Yeah. A brilliant move by tickets.com. It was probably just for PR purposes. Of course, even if they had done more, there'd be a way around it. You can always just look at the html source code of the page and find the url you'd need.

Guys, you can also just copy and paste the address into a new window.

 

Yep. That's working for me. A little slower, but still the same result.

What is the purpose of going into the VWR now? (15 minutes before they go on sale). Also, I am thinking of checking out the out of state number (since my ID and my credit card are from out of state.) Anyway you think they verify that I live here?

I'm just opening a bunch of windows. It sure is a pain in the ass copying and pasting the address over and over.

Ok, I am back from buying tickets. For those of you that were looking for good UD box seats for any in-demand weekend game, there are almost none. The best I could get for the Saturday Cards games in July and August was sec 438 (way out on the end).

That doesn't sound very promising.

What about bleacher seats for in demand weekend games?

My bleacher seats for White Sox are arounf 1300-1500.

I'm going to go ahead and try to get tickets, but won't be disappointed if I don't get through.

[sethuel1]

I estimate the new bleacher capacity at about 4000-4500. Depends how many over the actual seating capacity they were selling before.

That's the way I feel. If I get in, I'm going to try to get some tickets for a few of the marquee games, if I don't no worries. I live so close to the stadium that if we want to go, we usually don't have trouble finding some tickets.

[UMFan83]

Well the out of state line is busy, the in state line is busy, and I have 25 VWR windows up. It's go time!

In my case I'm looking at a long road trip, but I would enjoy getting to go. Summer has a lot going on, so I'm looking at April/May.

[EightyTwo]

This is so much fun! :lol:

[Jon]

Wow. Took me two minutes and I got through for the saturday Cards game in July.

[fulldeck]

Holy Crap...I just got in and got Bleachers for 7/30. No broken links either, I was able to get right through the process.

 

**Ducking for throwing objects from Cubs fans.**

 

After I was taken to the confirmation page I was dumped back into a VWR.

[BCVM22]

10 windows open and no luck yet. Here's hoping. :)

[ChiCubsFan]

Took me 3 minutes to get in. i got 3 tickets to the saturday cubs/white sox game.

[Chocolate Milk]

:(

[rocket]

someone's going to get hurt

 

i got in and it won't accept either of my credit cards. WTF

[TomAZZ]

you guys that got in, did you have multiple windows open??

 

btw, congrats to those that made it in so far :P

I'm going to bet that I will have to get tickets via ebay, lol.

[Mizzou]

This is so much freaking BS. After getting in, it's telling me there's too much transaction volume to process my request.

[Guest]

10 windows and nothing yet... UGH!
