Cubs to have post-season ticket lottery

[Garwilly]

Whoever is looking to sell a PW, by all means let me know. I have failed again.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'd be willing to buy a pw as well.

Same here.

how does picking the game work? is it random or first come, first serve?

how does picking the game work? is it random or first come, first serve?

First come, first serve. You can pick any game you want. If you don't find seats or not the ones you're looking for, you can theoretically go out and select a new game. You'd be wasting time, though it's not going to be a "huge" crunch like it would have been if it were VWR.

 

And speaking of VWR, it will be used. If you open up 30 windows, though, you'll probably get through in a minute or 2. You don't have to be excessive about it.

So the pw only gets me a chance to get tickets. I have to go to the VWR tomorrow and get lucky....

 

Geez, twice in one week... I don't know, my luck has likely run out.

As long as you get there at 10am (or whenever they go on sale) you should be fine.

 

But if you're THAT worried about it, just sell me your password. :grin:

I'm gonna look at this positively. I'm just losing the first two rounds because I'm gonna win WS tickets.

It took a long time for NLDS tickets to "sell out" with lottery winners. There will be time, the the first two games will be more popular than games 6 and 7.

Nope, I got dibs.

 

I offered a cool sawbuck for the code 8-)

I would go for game 6 first myself.

Me too. A lot will go for game 1 or 2 though to ensure that they actually get to see a game. I'd take the risk and go for a game that could be a potential clincher.

Absolutely. If Game 6 doesnt happen it means one of two things

 

1. The Cubs won the NLCS (awesome)

2. The Cubs lose the NLCS (which means you probably would have bought a playoff loss anyways)

[kujay]

Gotta be Game 6. And I agree that the first buyers would probably run for Games 1 and 2.

 

Luck shine on me!

What do pw's typically go for on the open market?

[ChiCubsFan]

Buying a password and the Cubs not even getting into the next round would really suck....ugh. Don't know what to do.

with no guarantee of the Cubs even advancing to the next round...I'd guess somewhere between 150 and 300. There aren't any up on ebay yet. Just Brewers passwords and those are buy it now for 150.

[hachster]

I'm not too worried about the lottery because I've been able to get in and get 2 tickets the last two days for games 1 and 2 of the NLDS

[Andy]

If anyone wants to sell a password I'd probably be interested too. You only live once.

Really? how?

[abuck1220]

so the password seller don't even offer a refund for the cubs not making it to the NLCS?

 

if the cubs lose tonight, i'm selling my password.

If youre the seller, you can make whatever rules you like. Your price will certainly be affected should you offer no refund. But yes, most of what I have seen offer no, or partial refunds.

I'd sell it now for $300 and then try to get lucky with the late releases like the NLDS.

[hachster]

Just goto the Cubs website during the day of the game and they'll have the green ticket window button for the game, you click it and most times it says sold out, but you just keep refreshing and eventually I got in and got 2 seats

Once you start asking for 300, your pool or prospective buyers shrinks.

 

$300 PW + $150 for 2 tickets = $450

 

or from CL or Stubhub

 

$450 for two tickets
