    I haven't looked today, but in each of the past few years there were more games that were sold out but still had the ticket icon up.

    Photo day! Here are the only two out so far: http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/sp/getty/oly_full.56870946rm005_cubs_photo.jpg http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/sp/getty/oly_full.56870946rm002_cubs_photo.jpg

    http://www.seatdata.com/images/mlb_cubs/170x128/205.jpg What row are you in? Still hard to tell from that pic, though. Looks like it would just be the outfield if anything, but you never know. I'm in row 12. Man, I'm gonna be upset if I could've not selected "best available" and gotten better seats than these. Well, it's really going to depend on your specific seats. And 205 is a weird area because that's where the sections start to curve. For the most part, the pillars are in row 6. If you're off to the left of the pillar, then it could be a problem. If you're just about even with the pillar, only your view of the outfield would be blocked. If I had my ticket stubs, I could tell you which numbers are where in any row, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

    Doesn't look like it. There are still over 2000 bleacher tickets available for the 7/29 cubs/cards game. The saturday White Sox game isn't sold out, either.
  6. Jon
    That is correct. Something like "Chicago Cubs" something something. Even if you can only see the first letter, it'll change from "V" to "C."
  7. Jon
    just keep clicking submit...it will let you in eventually. i had that problem last year. Yeah. It even kicked me back out to the VWR once, but I got right back to that screen. Don't give up. Could take 10 minutes, but you'll get it eventually. Wow. After 16 minutes, I've already gotten tickets to the two games I was going for. There are some very good infield field box seats for value games.
  8. Jon
    I had about 40 going.
  9. Jon
    Here's the link if you want to quckly check your seats before checkout: http://www.seatdata.com/html/mlb_cubs/pick_section_mlb_cubs.htm ARGH. I accidentally hit refresh since it wasn't loading quickly and lost a couple of good tickets to a value game. Then it kicked me back to the VWR for some reason. I wonder if that was going to happen anyways.
  10. Jon
    Wow. Took me two minutes and I got through for the saturday Cards game in July.
  11. Jon
    Well, there was this one from Cubs.com: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/images/2006/02/23/hHbgefbo.jpg Other than that, no.
  12. Jon
    Yeah. A brilliant move by tickets.com. It was probably just for PR purposes. Of course, even if they had done more, there'd be a way around it. You can always just look at the html source code of the page and find the url you'd need. http://frontline.purchasenow.tickets.com/buy/MLBEventInfo?trxstate=8&agency=MLB&orgid=5

    When you get through the VWR, you can select any game if you click on the schedule. It's not just for the game you clicked on. And even if you get through in multiple windows at the same time, the others because unusable once you make a purchase.
  14. Jon
    Very solid game by Northwestern. It's real fun watching Hachad when he's on like that. Damn you, cold.
  15. Jon
    The 'Cats are sure trying to blow this one. Ah, the "just like football" chant returns. There's none better.
  16. Jon
    The sound system in the upper deck makes it unbearable up there. You couldn't even talk to the person sitting next to you. It really gave the whole ballpark a minor league feel. I think I went there on two separate "women's days." They basically told the women in the stands that they could get free massages or something like that in the right field concourse and didn't have to watch the game. They did that with kids, too. So many ballparks try desperately to get people in the seats through promotions, but those promotions just kill the experience for the actual fans. It's like they're afraid that if there's not something loud and flashy going on, the fans are going to just get up and leave. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't need to be constantly entertained when there's a break in the action. And by entertained I mean thoroughly annoyed.
  17. Jon
    I've managed to miss the last 3 games because of 2 separate colds. Go me. At least I can watch this one on ESPN.
  18. Jon
    I'm guessing that they won't make you sign in until you start the checkout process. But even if you have to sign in before entering the VWR, I know that in the past you could be signed in to the same account on multiple computers at once.
  19. Jon
    Just saw the highlights on ChicagoBulls.com. Wish I had seen the end live, though. That was impressive.
  20. Jon
    Yup. And Allen saves his butt in the final seconds of the quarter.
  21. Jon
    What better time than when they're on national TV? It looks like the Bucks are playing some sort of traveling all star team. The Bulls and Northwestern are on ESPN on back-to-back days. I'd have to believe that's the first time that's ever happened.
