Ticket Successes and Failures Thread

[Southpaw191679666239]

I figured since I got this started last year, I'd start it again this year. Difference this year for me is I have to stop in to work to drop off mailing materials. After that I have the day off.

 

So, I'm going to have 25 computers at my arsenal again (computer lab classroom). I've got my seating chart printed out; along with the games I have most interest in.

 

Post here when you get your tickets, or update when games are sold out... or games you were not able to get tickets for.

 

Good luck everyone!

hehe just dio the whole wristband thing had # 16991 and the # 01175 so ya way off on that one lol. So I went back home got 3 computers at my disposal so hopefully the net goes better then the wristband one did.

Well, I'm all setup here in this classroom. 27 computers to use. On some I'll try the "secret" revealed on FOX News (even though I knew it already), while others ... well, I have other tricks up my sleeve. O:)

I'm only able to open one virtual waiting room window at a time. Last year I had 23 open when I was finally able to get through.

Was it like this last year during the half-hour when the room opened up before the tickets were actually on sale?

I have 2 open ...

I have 2 open ...

 

How? Every time I click on another game or open the schedule in a new window, I get a message in the VWR saying "Please be patient and wait for your browser to refresh".

ctrl + N

I just bought 4 tickets to each of the last two Cubs vs Stros games of the season in Houston. Any Cubs fans like me who are in Oklahoma might check it out, they still have more available.

 

Good luck to everyone. I was frozen out of Wrigley last year, but I am going to get some this year.

[hawkeyecub]

Thank you very much, I can't believe I forgot about that.

There's no way to manage 25 VWR windows unless you have a 19" monitor or larger. :(

ctrl + N

 

Yeah,I have two pc's here going..each with 30 VWR's going, LOL.

I've got 26 windows open for the June 11th, 14 for August 13th, and a phone that has already been programmed with 1800-THE-CUBS and my account password.

 

The problem will be the constantly scrolling through all of the open windows and refreshing any ones that have timed out without waiting too long.

Yeah, I forgot about that too. I'm ready now. Bring it on!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well, even if I don't get through, I'm set with my Cubs tickets to see the Cubs April 29- May 1 in Houston and with the Braves in Atlanta July 4-6. I have some sweet seats for the games in Atlanta.

Jon...your pc have WinXP? The nice thing about XP that it bundles all the rooms down on the task bar..so all you do is watch all the window's through that. 8)

There should be a voice telling you you've made it through the VWR... but alas I have no speakers here.

If you have a tabbed browser such as avant or firefox you can use crtl-tab to scroll through the windows quickly.

[RonCey]

If you have several VWR windows minimized, do you know you get in on one of them because the description changes?

Thats not working for me like it did last year. i get one VWR and then do the crtl + n and it only opens a new browser to my home page. any suggestions?

 

EDIT: i got it to work with explorer. couldnt get it for firefox or netscape.

The VWR screen says once your picked you'll see a full schedule and will be allowed to pick your games from there. It sounds like you can just click on any "T" from the schedule page and pick any date after that. Who knows.

[Southpaw191679666239]

You can only CTRL+N for one game per PC. Not multiple games on a PC.

Is the VWR page active when you hit 'ctrl-n' ?

I'm getting ready to start using the cell to try to get through!
