Still no email for me. :cry:

[Mizzou]

I just got the e-mail letting me buy the dugout/bullpen/bleacher box seats. awesome.

Nice, so did I! This is the first year that I've been selected... is it going to be a virtual waiting room just like when regular tickets went on sale? Also, it says I can buy at 9:00 AM Thursday morning... is that when it opens up for everyone, or are there different times? It seems like people had different times, but I could be wrong.

 

Edit: Nevermind, I read the rest of the email. 9:00 is the earliest time. Awesome!

Yeah, 9:00 AM is the first slot. You'll have your pick of some good seats.

Any suggestion as to bullpen vs. dugout box seats?

Any suggestion as to bullpen vs. dugout box seats?

 

Depends on what you want to pay and where you like to sit. I like the dugout box, but you can save some cash going bullpen.

 

Of course, you could always use your slot to buy bleacher box for one of the Sox games and use the opportunity to make a buck.

 

What game were you looking at buying?

[Jon]

Dugout or bullpen for a value game is really the only way to go with those seats.

 

If you're going to pay that much money for a regular or prime game, though, I'm not sure it's worth it. Sure it's great to be up close, but you're actually a little lower than the playing field when you're behind the plate and you don't get a great view often.

I really have no idea at this point. Definitely either a regular or value game though.

 

Another question, while I'm thinking about it... will I have the option to choose which dugout or bullpen I want to sit by?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The bullpen box are only down the rightfield line. For the dugout, you don't have a choice. It just pulls it up for you.

Just got my rejection notice. :cry:

[Chris]

<---------denied

[SeldomSeen]

Accepted, but not until 11:00. :(

[nilodnayr]

Totally spaced on this...grrr

[Brian]

I didn't get accepted or a rejection, I'm wondering if I screwed something up or are there others that haven't gotten anything yet either?

[Danny82]

I got a rejection.

Double-check your bulk email / spam folder; they sometimes end up there.

ahhh, thanks. Sure enough, my rejection was sitting there in the Spam folder.

[Jon]

Picked up my tickets this morning. I must say I like the new look for tickets. A little bigger, but a much better design.

 

Nothing else to add.

[Chris]

<-----received my tickets today.

did you have them overnighted?

Nope, they were standard delivery.

 

Better remember to be careful with the envelope. It certainly looks like junk mail since it has nothing about being from the Cubs.

So are the premium seat times only 9, 10, and 11? Or are there times after 11?

Last year they had times all the way until 3 or 4.
