Last call on this open window?

Some of you guys must have a gift for getting through. I'm all done for the day, but i'm hearing a lot of people say they haven't gotten in once. And they all had like 20 windows open.

And yet only a few have asked me to get tix for them. I don't know how, but I can get through.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

haha four windows open now...and I'm about to close them.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Wow, I just did a little experiment. I opened up 10 windows for the hell of it to see how long it'd take to get in. 2 of them opened up within about 20 seconds.

 

EDIT: Make that four now.

So I just looked at the schedule and i'm a little upset now, chances are I will see the same person pitch twice in a row. Whoever our #4 starter is will be up for the Home opener, then i'm going again on April 15 v. the reds..which is exactly 5 games later, he'll be due up again.

 

Here's to hoping It's Rich Hill and not marquis/Lilly.

Haha, if the Cubs make the playoffs, I'm going to have to get your cell number.

Oh crap, if the cubs make the playoffs this board will shutdown on ticket day...

I'm actually annoyed with how easy it's been, I can get tickets but can't think of more I want to go to. I'm spending money for no reason.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

So, would most of Chicago.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

9 of my 20 windows are now open....anyone need tickets?

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

I'm still getting the "high volume" error message, so I haven't been able to see what's available. I'm not even going to buy at this point, this is just out of curiousity.

[Twiggy]

Here is what I ended up getting. Spent around $800 total and hope to sell the first set of cardsinals bleacher seats and white sox game to pay for my flight/hotel for the cardinals games in August.

May 20th White Sox vs Cubs 4 Tickets in Section 205-2

Most weekend summer games are sold out. A lot of the games have no bleacher seats, but it appears there's a lot more available than usually is this late in the day.

 

I think the brokers were working it early, but once the "hot" games were gone, no one wants to risk being stuck with tickets again this year.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

BTW...still have nine windows open if anyone is still trying and needs a game.

 

I can pm you my cell and you can give me everything over the phone.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

at this point i'm trying single and double seats in the upper deck just to see if it would work. nothing yet

Vance, since you are so easily in, can you check the status of bleachers on weekends games that are completely sold out.

[KenCub]

I finally got through...........on the phone, of all things!

Got my tickets, finally.

Whew.

Still bleachers available on Sat 4/14, 5/5, 9/1, 9/22. Those are the only Saturdays with bleachers available.

11 of 20 windows open. Anyone need tickets?

[hawkcub]

Today was extremely stressful for me today. Got 2 tix right away one of them being April 21st St. Louis game the other being the Saturday June 16th San Diego game. Then my computer locks up. So I restarted it. I then got the St. Louis Friday game in April. Just minutes after that my cable modem dies. I call the cable company and they say I can swap out a new one if I go to their office that is 20 miles from where I live. I decide to go to a public library that is 7 miles away. I get through and buy the Friday June 15 San Diego game. After this I kept on getting through but when I got to the confimation stage it would not let me buy the tix. So then I decide to drive to the Cable companies office and swap out the modem. Which is now 27 miles from the library. My Mom and Step Dad live in that town so I go to their house to save on time. They have a Mac and I guess with those you cant do the multiple window trick. So I leave there. I hook my modem up and find out I have to call the cable company and register the modem. This seemed to take for ever. Then I finally got in at 4:00P.M. and got the last three games I wanted. (Seattle series in June)

 

I got all the games I was shooting for and am sitting where I want to sit (the bleachers). But it sure was irritating how it didn't go all that smoothly.

 

Sorry if this is to long but I just had to vent.

The annual first-day ticket frenzy is really a testament to the loyalty of Cubs fans.....and maybe says something about our mental health as well....haha...
