Ticket Successes and Failures Thread

Anybody gotten through in the last 45 minutes?

 

I got through a couple of minutes ago.

 

i;ve gotten through 3 times. Bleachers are still available for White Sox friday and a lot of the St Louis games

I'm still just trying for the 8/13 game. There were club box outfield, field box infield, and bleacher tickets available when I got through an hour ago, but I don't think I want to spend more than $30 a piece.

 

And to think that $30 will only get me terrace reserve infield.

 

yeah, i'm kinda pissed about that. 8/13 is my birthday. I got bleachers for 8/14 though

I remember when $30 would get you box seats...Oh how 1996 is sooooo far away in the past!

Haven't gotten through (7 windows) but twice I did notice one of them had a different title, but when I clicked it (I'm at work so I clicked the internet explorer thing that brings up the titles of the windows) it was still VWR and the title changed back. Oh well, ebay is my friend. I totally anticipate getting through while I'm at my lunch break and timing out because I wasn't around. :evil: I want the stupidest most obscure games, too, how unfair lol

Just added two opening day bleacher tickets. Edited February 25, 2005 by ChiCubsFan

EBay has ridiculous prices. I am almost tempted to put my tickets up for sale. Someone else is selling tickets for the same game I have and they are going for over 3 1/2 times the original prices. Insane!

I may end up trying to trade my 6 tickets for 6/10 for 4 for 6/11, and not just because it's my birthday. 6/10 is the last day for finals and I don't know yet if I have one that day or not.

 

Burton- About this time every year, I tell my uncle or uncles what bleacher tickets are now going for. And every year, it's the same face that I get.

This thread refreshes faster than the VR!

 

Nothing, abso-frickin-lutely nothin since 9:49.

 

But this is why I have the day off of work, for personal reasons ya know!

I just got through again. I got tickets for September 15 and 16. Anybody who's having no luck at all want me to try to get something for them?

I will freely admit that i sold NLDS bleacher tickets for the Prior-Maddux game on eBay for $1200 for a pair

 

EDIT: I lied. it was only $1000

How did you get around the Illinois law?

I'm not an illinois resident. As long as no part of the transaction takes place in Illinois, it's legal.

nope, its been really slow

[ChiCubsFan]

Oh, i just saw on your location it says Chicago, IL. $1000 for 2 tickets is pretty darn good. I think I mighta done the same thing.

Well, the Reds need some love, too.

 

Hopefully windows won't timeout. They shouldn't, but who knows?

 

By the way, should I cut my wristband off yet? I doubt 18365 will be of any use at any point.

I remember when bleacher seats were like $4 each, and that is only going back to the early 80's pre'84.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

So Jon, do you still need a ticket for the game on the 12th?

[oldcubsfan]

I've had my season tickets since 1983. They were $8 per seat, now $60 per seat for prime games. It really hurts to write that check now.

I doubt I'd be able to "afford" (what a funny word) them right now. And since I'm going to a Cubs/Red Sox game.

 

And you just want to be able to buy me a beer, don't you?

 

Just kidding. I really appreciate the offer. I'm sure you'll find a taker for those two!

It hurts to even look at those numbers.

[wekse]

I want tickets! This sucks :(

[burnt out cubbie fan]

I miss the days where I could send in the ticket order for a couple of weeks after tickets went on sale and still get decent tickets to all of the games I wanted. Stupid Cubs getting popular...

[Gracies Girl]

My windows are refreshing just fine...all I want is 4 tickets to the Cards game on either August 12 or August 13. I don't even want to sell the tickets for a profit...I'm just trying to take a weekend trip :(

I'm not really worried about a taker. I know that I need three of them. My brother, nephew, and I will be coming. I just found out that Jenny has to work and can't get off, so I have three extra now. I'd love to trade the three for tickets to the Saturday game so we could go to both games...but I doubt that works out.
