Do you have any backup plans for tickets if you don't end up getting them in the lottery Sunday morning? I'm not ready to let not getting tickets that day ruin my plans, but at the same time, I'm not looking to pay obscene prices to be at these games, since I'll already be in need of a plane ticket for the weekend. I'm just worried that they'll end up being impossible to get for any less than 4x face value if the VWR doesn't work out. Wait, so Columbus Day is October 8, right? I'm totally going to look into going to Chicago if the Cubs made the playoffs. Since the 8th is a holiday, we probably won't have a paper that day which means I wouldn't have to work Sunday night. If I could get Saturday night off that would give me Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday off from work. One of my girlfriend's best friends lives in Chicago so I could probably stay with her as well.
