Cubs to have post-season ticket lottery

[Mizzou]

Also, don't know if anyone saw this but theres a sweepstakes to win 2 tickets to an NLDS game. Signup is here: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/mlb/sweepstakes/y2008/ds/form.jsp?c_id=chc.

Contest is only open to people in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. What the hell?

 

To stop people who buy tickets just to sell them for profit.

Good call, I forgot that no one in Chicago does that.

I'm geographically closer to Wrigley than many people in Indiana, Wisconsin or parts of Illinois. This is BS.

You've got a 1 in a gazillion chance of winning that contest, so I wouldn't sweat the entry restrictions.

So you're saying there's a chance?

1 in a gazillion is an infinitely better chance of winning than 0 in a gazillion, which would be my odds ;)

Anyone gotten an e-mail yet (good or bad)? Tickets go on sale in 24 hours...

[Garwilly]

I GOT AN EMAIL!!!!

 

 

Viagra is 90% off!!

 

Seriously though, nothing from the Cubs yet.

Maybe everyone here was really unlucky?

I hate you.

 

My discount viagra email is apparently generic, not brand-name.

 

 

I would assume the "sucks for you" emails won't go out until the end of the day.

Do they realize how much it kills us not to disclose what time they will email?

Do we have to register again to try and win NLCS tickets? I read the official rules or whatever and didn't see anything about this. I just might fail at reading, though.

[KenCub]

I'm pretty sure the NLDS entry goes to the NLCS drawing too.

I wonder if they remove "winning" NLDS entries from the NLCS drawing?

Confirmed. Can win tickets to each series.

Thanks guys.

You'll still get an email saying that your life is over.

[ChiCubsFan]

I wish I didn't delete the rejection e-mail I got from the Brewers. I'd like to know what time that one was sent out at. I need to study for a test and it's distracting to have to refresh my email every 12 seconds.

[TuffyRhodes]

It was sent at 2:12 CST :D

[KPet]

I got the Brewers NLDS acceptance email at 12:39 P.M. the other day. I don't know if there is any correlation between that and the Cubs emails however.

[Soul]

I think I'm skunked. Maybe better luck with the NLCS.

[FearTheBako]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 2 tickets for one game per entry equates to about 60,000 "winners" for the NLDS. How many entries do you all think there were for this. I feel like there's pretty good odds that I will at least get on set of tickets. The suspense is killing me.

Sorry to burst your bubble but you're forgetting to account for season ticket holders.

[NonProfitCow]

I haven't gotten anything. I'm pretty sure they send you an email even if you haven't been selected.
