Re: 2009 Cubs Single Game Tickets Successes and Failures Thread

[Rob]

I think they just radnomly select certain IPs and just don't let them in. This is ridiculous...now 150 tabs open and nothing in 35 minutes.

 

I've got over 100 tabs open and have gotten in just once.

[UMFan83]

It's bizzarre...my experience is that you either get in a bunch of times right away or you wait literally forever.

[ConstableRabbit]

So far, Indians, Mets, Dodgers, Cardinals, and the home opener.

 

I'm excited.

Bastard.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I got through once and got 6 bleacher seats to the July 11 game vs the Cardinals. I'm about to call it quits since I have to change schools right now.

[pitchcs]

Got in once with 36 tabs open.

 

Any games gone?

[UMFan83]

45 minutes of nothing...150 tabs open now.

 

I am going to cry...this sucks.

 

I gotta stay away from this thread. I want to throw something whenever I read someone that's already gotten tickets to a bunch of games.

Not yet. They'll show up in red at the bottom of the VWR page.

I can't tell if you have it worse or I do. I've been teased twice only to be booted out before being able to get my tickets.

[UMFan83]

My friend just got in and said opening day is down to singles....looks like I'll be breaking my streak of 6 opening days in a row unless I pay a lot.

got in once...and then it froze...

[treebird]

i've been through thrice, grabbed tickets for june 19th and 20th against the indians, and then just snagged 6 bleachers against the white sox.

PM me, maybe we can work something out depending on how many you need. Bleachers only, though.

Damn man thats crazy, I only had 20 tabs open. This will be my first time ever sitting in the bleachers, Im pumped. Also secondary market for tickets right now is ridiculous.

Hope you plan on getting really drunk in the bleachers. Otherwise, it's going to be extremely annoying for you. I can't stand sitting in the bleachers anymore. It's just one big frat party with people who know nothing about the Cubs or baseball in general.

[E.J.]

I guess it's a good thing that it's been an hour and none of the games have sold out yet.

I'm not mad for you...I get to go to plenty of Cubs games, and I'm sure I'll go to my share this year too. It just sucks because I look forward to opening day all year, take off work, meet up early to celebrate and then goto the game. Now I might not be able to do that.

 

The secondary market is ridiculous but it will go way down once initial enthusiasm goes down....happens for every sporting event I've tracked.

Yea Ill probably be pretty drunk, but I just couldnt pass up 50 bucks for a bleacher ticket since most weekend bleachers are around 90-100 on the secondary market. Should be fun out there

[Rob]

Well at least I'm going to spring training... it doesn't look like I'll make it to wrigley very often this year.

(sorry bad joke)

[hawkcub]

The E-mail confirmations are taking a long time for my third and 4th games. Sorry to those who have not gotten in yet. I'm sure you don't want to hear my worries about E-mail confirmations.

[Cynosure]

I'm pleased with my haul.

 

Not gonna push my luck anymore, I've spent enough lol.

 

Now to wait 24 hours and see how blown up the resale market is.
