ARGH. I accidentally hit refresh since it wasn't loading quickly and lost a couple of good tickets to a value game. Then it kicked me back to the VWR for some reason. I wonder if that was going to happen anyways.

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

 

I had 10 windows open.

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

 

just keep clicking submit...it will let you in eventually. i had that problem last year.

I think getting tickets for the NLCS in '03 with one window on a dial modem is paying me back today, ha ha

 

Congrats to those of you who've been able to get tickets!

Yeah. It even kicked me back out to the VWR once, but I got right back to that screen. Don't give up. Could take 10 minutes, but you'll get it eventually.

 

Wow. After 16 minutes, I've already gotten tickets to the two games I was going for. There are some very good infield field box seats for value games.

good news guys, i hate the cubs, but not enough to keep myself from sending them large amounts of money!

 

ps- i havent gotten through yet, this blows

[EightyTwo]

I've lost count of how many tabs I have open in firefox, lol.

 

No luck yet though.

4 windows open

waiting patiently

have to pee

[cl smooth]

for those with VWR windows open...the name of the window in your taskbar changes to something else when it lets you in, correct?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I have 15 windows open on three computers but still no luck.

The new confirmation process kinda sucks. I didn't put the Street part in my address and it kept rejecting my card until I typed it in. But so far I've gotten 2 dates that I wanted. 2 more to go.

[wekse]

my buddy got through and got 4 ticks to opening day....too bad i can't go :(

[hawkcub]

I got 50 still nothing.

That is correct. Something like "Chicago Cubs" something something. Even if you can only see the first letter, it'll change from "V" to "C."

[Mizzou]

YES! Bleachers on 4/8! Life is good!!!

[Mark_R]

I might be the lucky one. No money whatsoever for tickets.

 

I will probably get to a few games despite my desire to boycott. Always get some good tickets day of game.

[AlwaysaCub]

YES! Bleachers on 4/8! Life is good!!!

 

You'd better bring a blanket to that game.

[Chris]

Has anyone tried for tickets for a game that is sold out?
