just got red sox tix!!!!!

sunday june 12

upper deck

[jam1975]

Virtual waiting room now says there's only scattered single seating for the Saturday Red Sox game.

[Jon]

Tickets to the following games are no longer available or have scattered single seats:

June 11 vs. Red Sox

 

 

:x

 

Hopefully I can at least grab a single soon.

I've gotten through twice. I've got tickets for the home opener and the June 11 Red Sox game. I think the June 12th game might be sold out. The biggest pain is getting the "We're sorry..." message once you get through.

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure the June 12th game is sold out or about to sell out REAL SOON. Luckily i got my two tickets in section 239 row 8. Not too bad, and only cost me 27 bucks a piece.

If you get through you have to just keep hitting continue. I tried the Sat. April 9 game about 20 times (as well as over 10 other games) before I finally got my tickets.

I was hitting best available and it was giving me the "We're sorry, we're unable to..." message, finally I got the tickets I wanted.

66 windows and nothing yet. It's taking an aweful long time for the timer to restart.

 

Jon,

 

I just got 6 to the Sunday Red Sox game. 2 are yours if you need them.

Thanks a bunch for the offer, Vance. Hopefully I'll be able to get through shortly, but I'll let you know!

 

Ok. Sounds like a plan!

 

I'll gladly take em off your hands...

[Gracies Girl]

I'm up to 56 windows and the timer only seems to be going on about 10-15 of them at a time, if that. :(

 

I'm notliking my chances.

It's been a good day so far, in spite of the fact that they only seem to be allowing 4 bleacher tix at a time.

 

So far we have 4 for the Red Sox (Sat.), 4 for the White Sox (Sat.), and 4 for the Marlins (Sun.) for the retirement of #23.

 

My main objectives have been reached - everything else is cake.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm planning on using the other four to bring my nephew and my brother to their first trip to Wrigley...if I can ok it with the wife.

[SouthSideRyan]

Just to make sure, people who've gotten through, you've been using multiple windows right?

[Jon]

I closed most of my windows and redid it. Now they're all functioning correctly.

This might be a separate topic, and I'm not trying to rub things in...

 

My Red Sox tickets are sec 224 row 22. Does anyone know how high up that is in the section? I'm a little worried about obstructed view from the upper deck.

[ChiCubsFan]

Yep, your best bet is to select best available and just keep hitting continue until you get through. I think im goin for the sunday red sox game or sandberg retirement game next.

[badnewsbear]

I know this is a shot in the dark but I'm going to throw it out there. If anyone has four extra tix to Sat or Sun game vs. the BoSox I would gladly buy them from you. It's my sister in-laws 21st birthday and she loves the Cubs. This would be the best present we could give her. If anyone could help me out please pm me.

Just to make sure, people who've gotten through, you've been using multiple windows right?

 

Yes. But I've only gotten through once so far.

[sethuel1]

I've got an interesting dichotomy going. one computer has 36 firefox windows open. they're working fine. The other has 20 IE windows open. None of them are restarting the timer.

 

Bill Gates can eat it.

[glavine93]

im failing miserably.. i don't have the nerve to open multiple windows at work :-#

[circlechange]

I've gotten through 3 times using only about 15 windows. Maybe that's better than 50 or 60?

It's the opposite for me right now, although it seems to be going back and forth.

 

So much for celebrating my 21st birthday at Wrigley this year.

I got 6 Bleacher tickets to the Sunday White Sox game, so it is possible.

You're a couple rows from the top. I think that around 224 it goes to row 28 or somewhere therabouts

[jam1975]

Mizzou,

 

I'm in Columbia, Mo too. Depending on if friends crap out on me when the games roll around, I may end up with tickets if you're interested.

OK--not perfect, but it should still be fun...

I don't think it matters. It's like every lottery - you need to have about 100,000 entries to up your chances of winning by single digit percentage points.

it shouldn't make a difference. It is purely based on luck.
