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.

 

I still havent got my email confirmation either....

How are you guys getting multiple tabs open? I try and it just tells me to be patient and wait for it to refresh. I'll start preparing now to feel stupid....

Thanks a ton Gerby and EJ.

yw, now if one of my 75 tabs would get me into purchasing....

what does it say exactly??

[E.J.]

I'm going to start breaking things pretty soon. I just got in again, but was booted after selecting my tickets.

[UMFan83]

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.

 

Are you kidding? Sell them now! Do you think the market will be better right now, when unlucky people are panicing about not getting tickets to the games they wanted, or 24 hours from now when they've calmed down and have had time to rationally realize that they will wait out the market and find the best time to get tickets.

i've got the same thing, superfast emails on games 1 and 2, nothing yet on game 3.

[pitchcs]

The whole "Sorry, we were unable to process due to high transaction volumes" is really annoying. How about you just don't let me out of the VWR until you're ready and able for me, OK??

It says "Chicago Cubs Ticketing"

Bout to throw them up.... let me know within the next 30 mins about our PMs.

[Balsa]

Just wanted to pop in and dispel the myth that nobody is getting anything.

 

I've been very lucky this year.

[Twiggy]

I did great. Got all the big games and 37 total tickets.

[Keener98]

Damnit just got in again was going to buy 2 cheap tickets to cubs cards july 10th, and it keeps telling me they cant process my order due to high activity!

[UMFan83]

Well, I did get in once...at around 11:15. My GF wanted me to get Reds/Cubs weekend summer tickets, so after checking opening day, the white sox, and cardinals weekend games to no avail, I finally got 3 tickets to the July 25 Reds/Cubs game. Terrible seats too.

 

And thanks to Cyno, who offered me up a couple of his bleacher seats to Opening Day for an extremely reasonable price. Cyno, I don't care what Fred Hornkol says about you, you're alright in my book! (just kidding Fred :)).

 

And yes, besides that one time, my 150 tabs haven't gotten me in at all in the 95 minutes I've been trying.

Keep on hitting continue. I always thought of this as like a doctors office you wait in the waiting room then wait some more in the small examination room.

[Balsa]

No games yet sold out....strange...

[Keener98]

Sorry if this isnt the right place to ask this, but how much do bleacher tickets for a June game usually go for on stubhub or ebay?

[E.J.]

Wow. What a pain in the ass that was, all for tickets to a freaking Pirates game in August. I got in 5 times and got booted 4 of them. Finally got the tickets.

Doh I already got pissed and closed the window, I just figured I was out of luck...

Cubs/Sox bleachers went for around 2.2x face last year (on stubhub)
