Cubs to have post-season ticket lottery

[UMFan83]

Now there are tears....I didn't even get a rejection email. It's like the Cubs just completely forgot about me :(

[pitchcs]

3 rejections over here as well. Fortunately, I already have tickets.

 

Fred, are you going to be patrolling 404?

[Guest]

Just got my rejection email as well.

[Burtonbell]

At least my rejection email gave me some hope for the NLCS. Now the Cubs just have to make it there. :beg:

[TMan92]

Can I use my game four tickets from last year for the opening game....Figures the one year I get lucky, they don't even play the damn game. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I didn't get a rejection e-mail. Makes me worried that my entry got lost somehow.

[Bergy92]

Rejected, hopefully the NLCS - although I will be out of town on business from Oct 12-17, it will be my luck that I win something and can only purchase tickets for those days...

[Bergy92]

Rejected.

or just rich fans... i think you have to be a decent size fan to drop that amount on the 1st round.

or have clients/business partners you're trying to impress

 

Though I think the general sentiment that if you're rich, you're not a "real fan" is a load of crap (and not b/c I'm rich, b/c I'm not)

Did anyone else find this suspicious? In the rejection email they specifically tell you that you didn't win the ticket lottery, but you can still buy tickets over at StubHub. (at an inflated price) I know it's probably not, but it sounds really fishy to me.

[Jon]

The Cubs, along with every other team aside from the Red Sox, have deals with StubHub. The more tickets sold on StubHub, the more money that is made. It only makes sense that they'd encourage people to go through StubHub than a private broker.

 

As for those expensive seats, they were never going on sale to the public, anyways. Those are season tickets. Only select seats in the 200, 400, and 500 levels, along with bleacher seats, are being made available in the on sale.

Well its to give you an alternative. Now if they would have sent the rejection letters to everyone and sold the tickets themselves on stub hub, then that'd be fishy (and illegal), but its a smart thing to add in there because if informs fans that want to buy tickets and lines their own pockets because MLB owns stubhub or whatever the arrangement is.

Someone put the over/under at 15...

 

I think I counted 3 or 4 that got through.
