I read the fine print and couldn't figure out what they use to determine a 'duplicate entry'

 

I signed up my wife and myself with different email addresses and phone numbers but the same address. Hope it counts as 2 entries.

 

At the very least, it says for duplicate entries, it will accept the last entered one as an entry, so if you play around with making different entries, at least you know that you won't be disqualified.

I won in 2008 to get tickets to the LA series. Game 2 :banghead:

Did you go?

 

I managed to snag a single to game one on the day of at the window but I wound up selling it and watching with my friends instead.

I won Game 7 tickets to the NLCS against the Marlins. I was more than happy not to be able to use them while watching the late innings of Game 6.

 

Son of a bitch.

I got Game 3 2007. Mark DeRosa is still somewhere grounding into double plays.

I was there too. Very last row of upper deck reserved. Got to my seat just as Chris young happened

[SouthSideRyan]

1st row of Upper Deck Box. Wearing a Rich Hill shersey...

[Guest]

The only good thing about that day was the weather.

 

I even got a [expletive] ticket for running a red later that night. Stupid short yellows.

[ConstableRabbit]

I've gotten lucky with getting tickets, but I have been to 5 consecutive home playoff losses.

2008

NLDS Game 1 -- Dempster sucks

NLDS Game 2 -- Errorz!

 

2007

NLDS Game 3 -- Rich Hill & DP-DeRo

 

2003

NLCS Game 6

 

I was at the 98 tie breaker, which was awesome, but yeah.

So how does this work? Do you try to grab a seat as soon as you get the email, or will the email have a later date to scramble for tickets?

I got that one and game 1 against the Dodgers.

 

I believe in 2007 they still used tickets.com VWRs so I was able to easily exploit and get tickets. I watched OPR Hill serve up a meatball to Chris Young as I was walking to m seats. And yes I still have nightmares where DeRosa is grounding into double plays repeatedly.

 

In 2008 I believe I was bitching about how pretty much everyone I knew getting selected in the lottery but not me. However a day or two before the game I managed to find a single on their website and happily bought it.

I too was there for Game 3 in 2007 to see my favorite pitcher serve up the meatball on the first pitch of the game. Even being down 0-2 in the series, Wrigley had such a great feel to it. Well, until the first pitch of the game.

 

I figured this was coming soon. I had to have my Season Ticket order placed by Tuesday afternoon.

When DeRo came to bat, that's the loudest I've heard Wrigley. After? Complete silence the rest of the game.

Absolutely.

We got picked in the 1984 lottery and got tickets to the World Series. Game 5, if memory serves. :bye:

Yes, I went with my brother. First row CF bleachers.

Just got the email that I was not selected for possible WC and LDS tickets.

Just got the email that I was not selected for possible WC and LDS tickets.

But you had a very specific set of skills!

same. :(

[UMFan83]

Yup I didn't win either. Should have gone back to the VWR days and let the smartest people get the tickets

[bhogg]

Holy [expletive]! I totally forgot about registering for this. Just checked my emai and A WINNER IS ME.

 

I get a shot at WC and / or NLDS games. Wow!

Congrats. If you can't make the trip up I will find a good home for the tickets :)

[bhogg]

My thinking is no one will try for WC. Mondays game will be hot. I'll try for Tuesday 4 tickets. Will go with my best friend and our 12 year old boys.

 

Gotta win that WC game!!!!

[Clem Fandango]

Just got my email too!
