Cubs to have post-season ticket lottery

[Mizzou]

Haha, I opened about 10 windows and got through with 4 in like two minutes. If only I knew the password.

5 min in....still waiting. this sucks, ctrl-n does not work

 

Open a new tab in firefox and paste the address. In IE press alt f then n to open a new window.

 

 

thank you!

[scs_paradise]

ummmm.....how would I do that without giving my password to the world....

If it's a number and/or letter combination, then it's unique. If it's something like "chicago," then it would be generic.

 

 

its a 7 digit code consisting of random letters and numbers

OUCH! It pretty much guarantees that the real fans will not be sitting close to the action (unless they are season ticket holders...)

 

 

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)

 

not what I meant, I was just guessing that not many people on this board has 3grand to drop on a first round playoff game...But I could be way wrong.

My guess is that the password is the vehicle they are using to police the 1 game/2 ticket rule, rather than on an adhoc basis comparing contact information which is how they enforce the regular season rules. So, I don't think knowing his password after hes already bought tickets is going to help any.

Damn, keep trying. I just opened up about 10 or so and got through in 30 seconds.

bleachers seats in game 2!!!! password FB59SF9

 

but i don't think it will work again...

[nilodnayr]

Of the 10 I opened up about 3 minutes ago, 6 have gotten through. We knew this by the terrible results yesterday, but this just reinforces that they only allowed a very very few to win the lottery. Although, at this point, I would imagine everything is sold out, but they don't say that once you get through.

Are these passwords in any way linked to the address of the person who was selected in the lottery? I guess what I'm asking is do they check to make sure the addresses match, or could someone hypothetically use another person's password?

[WindyCity]

Just curious -- what's the VWR link for this sale?

[Jon]

Did they sell SRO tickets online last year? I can't remember.

I used my friends cc to buy the tickets (cuz we had a bet that if I could get them he would buy!) and there was no problem....so no, any password would work

I don't know but if you go on using the password above you are given the option of buying SRO tickets online this year so there wont be any other sale of those.

Game two bleacher seats! Section 306 \:D/

 

Waited for about 8-10 very nerve-wracking minutes in the VWR.

I will let you know in a few days. I bought a password off of craigslist this morning and then bought tickets. I selected 'fed-ex shipping' so if they arrive in my mailbox I will certainly inform everyone.

How much did you pay for the password? I sure hope it works!!!!

[Mizzou]

Looks like there are plenty of tickets still available. That, combined with how easy it was to get through the VWR means that not many people were selected at all. Which is [expletive].
