Cubs to have post-season ticket lottery

[kujay]

This sucks.

 

I was supposed to have a deposition in Chicago on Thursday. That was my "cover" to go up early tomorrow and go to the game.

 

But it's been cancelled. And I can't take the day off work now.

 

So, I have a ticket that I paid $99 for yesterday on ebay. It's in Section 512, Row 4. There was no shipping or anything. I'm not going to b.s. you. It's a $30 face ticket. But of course I'd like to get back what I paid.

 

Any takers? It's an e-ticket. If so, I can do a payment through Paypal and e-mail you the ticket immediately.

 

Howry.

I want to jump all over that so bad but I've been to so many damn games that I think I'll just watch it with a bunch of buddies at a friend's apartment.

 

But I am damn tempted... damn.

I got up there for one this year. And I so badly wanted to go tomorrow. I'm seriously bumming right now.

I'm sure you'll have no problem finding a taker. That's a pretty good seat, too.

Nothing happened this morning. All 3 games still say sold out.

 

By the way, if anyone wants to automatically check for updates to those pages, I found an easier way:

 

-Install Check4Change Firefox add-on and restart

-Go to http://javascript.about.com/library/blright.htm, right-click on "enable right click," and bookmark it

-Open up one or more of the games

-Go to bookmarks and select "enable right click"

-Highlight some or all of the red sold out text

-Right-click on the text, select Check4Change, and quickly set it up

 

 

You can use the following links for the 3 games:

http://frontline.purchasenow3.tickets.com/buy/MLBEventInfo?pid=6336227&roomid=5

http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/MLBEventInfo?pid=6347813

 

The third URL is different but works just the same. You could also take the ID # and plug it into the URL format above. Doesn't matter.

Ticket is sold. Thanks.

Guys, those options for game 1 are back.

[Jon]

And game 2, but can't reserve.

[Jon]

Just scored a single for game 1! Looks like Game 2 might be available, too.

[Tracer Bullet]

I tried but can't get anything to reserve

[weatherdood]

Got my hopes up for a second there.. Poop... Can't reserve.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Yeah I can't either.

[Jon]

It took me about 5 minutes. Couldn't get a pair, but did get a single after 5 minutes.

[Tracer Bullet]

I've gotten to the password about 6 times but keep getting kicked out

[Tracer Bullet]

do you have better luck with "best available" or by picking one of the options? I keep getting 2 options for game 1 and a bunch of options for game 2, but can't get any to reserve.

 

you're killing me jon

[Butterscup1679666578]

I'm not getting anything anymore.

[Jon]

my younger brother got a pair for game 1, then proceeded to lose them because he couldn't remember his password and mlb.com gave him a technical difficulties message when he tried to create a new account.

JOn where were your seats at if you don't mind me asking?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

you're such a tease

[FergieJ31]

ARGH!!! I keep hearing about tickets sporadically on sale at cubs.com ticketing, and everytime I go there - nada. :evil:

 

I haven't been teased this much since high school, when a few cheerleaders would choose to wear the tightest shortest shorts possible within sight of our football drills.

 

Edit: screw it, I'm going to gougers.com - I mean stubhub.com - can't take it anymore.

[Jon]

I can't believe he got a pair to game 1 (after a bunch of you already posted, by the way) and freaking lost them.

[Jon]

Just now got another for game 1 (single)

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Just now got another for game 1 (single)

stop posting before we all hate you even more

[Jon]

JOn where were your seats at if you don't mind me asking?

222 in the back. Both singles that I got are, actually. And the pair that my brother lost were a section or two over.

were you choosing 1 and best available? I was able to type the captcha a couple times but then threw right back into the other screen saying no tickets
