Cubs to have post-season ticket lottery

[nilodnayr]

It is ridiculous that you do a draw on one day (electronically mind you) and then it takes 3 full days already to do the notifications (electronically mind you).

 

Are we sure it's email notifications? I'm gonna run home and check the mail from Saturday. See if it's mixed in with the missing kids.

 

You have a pile of missing children?

 

Pedeophilliac serial murders always slip up somehow...

define "pile"

[Jon]

Stop it! Stop it! Can't you see this barnyard noise guessing game is tearing us apart?!

 

It does kind of feel like I'm just waiting for a comet to land and crush my NLDS ticket-buying hopes.

It's more of an enclave.

I don't even want tickets, so it doesn't matter to me...

 

(reverse jinx?)

Now my Yahoo account is unable to load my mail page so I can't even refresh to see if I lost or won.

 

How fantastic! :yahoo: :cry:

Doesnt matter, you probably haven't gotten the email yet

[nilodnayr]

Well its past 5 now...

[BleacherBadger]

Title should be changed to "Cubs find new way to dissapoint"

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I still haven't gotten mind either.

[ChiCubsFan]

i give up. you win, cobs.

[KenCub]

I guess the Cubs are relying on the "it's still Monday until midnight" argument.

[ChiCubsFan]

I guess the Cubs are relying on the "it's still Monday until midnight" argument.

 

To be fair, this is being handled by the MLB and not the Cubs.

[KenCub]

Yeah, but still....

:D

 

Since it's decided by MLB, I guess I'll cry about it for weeks like the Astros are.

:banghead:

[bcl412]

I don't think I'm going to get to buy tickets. Maybe I'm destined to buy World Series tickets :D

[KPet]

 

Just tell me one way or the other. I've wasted a whole day hitting refresh on my email and on the messageboard to see if anyone got an email.

[RammyFanny]

Cubs.com posters still have got nothing either.

 

Keep in mind, even if you get through, you're still not guarenteed anything. Then it just becomes first come first serve tommorrow (I believe), and i'm sure they select more people than tickets.

[Jon]

I hadn't been to the Cubs.com board in years before today. I can blame MLB for this one.

[ChiCubsFan]

At least heroes has lowered my refresh click rate from once every 12 seconds to once every few minutes.

[aeaasie]

This is goofy

 

What purpose does this "waiting till the last minute" serve?

 

Go Cubs

[KPet]

"It's gonna happen"?

[Irrelevant Dude]

What purpose does this "waiting till the last minute" serve?

Drayton McLane must be at it again...

[KPet]

Absolute dream scenario, but probably a 1/1000 shot:

 

"There was an error/hacking/mistake in the lottery registrations. All NLDS tickets will be released to the general public tomorrow via the VWR."

[RammyFanny]

Guy on Cubs.com has just got an (successful) email.
