It was definitely tougher to get the most-wanted games this year.

 

I didn't get opening day or the Aug 19 game vs the Cards, but I did get all the other games I wanted.

 

I hope everyone else has done well.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

No windows currently open, but if anyone still needs tickets, I'm going to be online for another 15-20 mins before heading to the gym.

 

Also, for those wanting Sox tickets or home opener, I have some available. Prices are in this thread or you can pm me.

[ConstableRabbit]

OK I also got the Lou bobblehead Reds game on April 15 and the (very early) Aug 20th Cards game 11:20 start for some reason...

Last year I heard they ramped down bleacher ticket sales per game as the bleachers approached sellout, which didn't seem to happen this year.

I think they still "ramped down" bleacher tickets this year, but not as aggressively as they did last year.

 

When I tried to buy 6 bleachers for one game, I was only allowed to buy 4.

 

Sorry I couldn't help anyone else on the board. I bought for 3 other people today and had an appointment after that, so I never had a free moment.

Got pretty much everything I wanted. If any of y'all will be going to any of the same games and would like to mee up pre-game, post-game, or during the game (I've got bleachers for all but Friday Sox and Father's Day), that'd be cool.

It was actually easier for me this year than it was last time I tried, before 2005.

Wow, looks like you had quite a successful (and expensive) day.

[KenCub]

I've had absolutely no luck thus far.

5 windows right now, doing nothing.

Ack.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

As all know, I did well.

 

I got 4/9, 5/18, 5/19, 5/20, and 5/28.

 

I already had tix for 5/29 and 5/30.

 

I could have bought more, but that's all I needed to do.

 

I should have had 4/21 bleachers, but it looks like it never processed.

[USSoccer]

I've had nothing. No luck. No tickets.

Really? Well open up more. I had like 40-50 open and had a lot of luck. I closed some before I went to class but when I returend I had about 10 windows open. I spent about $1000 so I'm done.

It takes longer sometimes for the confirmation email to go through. On two of my purchases, the emails came within 5 min. On the other, it took an hour. Just something to keep in mind.

[Danny82]

If I bought six tickets for the 4/21 Cardinals game on one mlb.com account and six more for the same game on a different account, all while using the same credit card and address, I am probably going to lose the second batch of six, right?

 

I didn't realize that there was a limit of six per game for the whole weekend. I thought it was just a limit of six for every time I got through.

 

Too bad really as I was really trying to get a big group of bleacher tickets for that game for a bachelor party.

No. I bought it five mins after my last purchase. All of those arrived before noon.

 

I never got a confirm screen and the comp froze up and kept returning to the pay screen. I'd keep clicking pay but it never went through. I'm pretty sure I didn't get them.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Anyone need tix? I have an open window.

If I had to bet, you're gonna lose all 12. Unknowingly, 3 years ago my brother and I each bought 6 tickets to the same Red Sox game. (different name, same address) All 12 tickets were cancelled.

Well, that would certainly suck.
