QUOTE(aboz56 @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) Don't worry, I'm already prepping my speech for Soxfest to totally rip into the Sox, whoever is on stage at the time, for the way they have handled these ticket situations. This is just awful. The fans, like myself, who attend games regularly during the regular season when I can (I live 5 hrs away) get totally screwed and brokers end up with all of the good seats. They sure will take your money for any series during the season when there's plenty of seats available. But hell, when its on the line and the real FANS want to go, the f***ing tickets aren't available. f***ing bulls*** if you ask me and I am going to let my feelings be known to Brooks or whoever else I need to embarass on stage. Aboz, I think you should print out this thread and bring it to their attention too. There's some good info on here such as brokers getting way more than the 4 tickets alotted and on how much of a profit is being made.

Get the boy some tickets!!!!!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) This is known as rakateering. Enjoy it - because if they do get to the World Series, there ain't no way in hell but about 1% of the little guys get tickets. Basically. I'd be damn suprised if you were able to get 2 tickets, even if you click right at the second Ticketmaster opens up for the WS. Unless you're on the inside.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 07:45 PM) Geez if we need to have Ray Rayner on the list we are hurting. Wasn't he bozo's sidekick? We need to milk the Jenny McCarthy and Jessica Simpson thing. Get them to the games! If they come we'll have all the celebrities on camera we need. Jenny needs to get her ass to the games and bring Jessica and her hubby. Don't forget Lisa Dergan. As far as Nick, I don't know if he would go to a Sox game. Then again, isn't Jessica Simpson supposed to be performing at the Tweeter Center sometime? They would probably catch a playoff game while in town me would thinks. Get Jenny McCarthy out there though, I agree. Let's get Jenny Finch out there too.

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 07:08 PM) I understand that ESPN is Broadcasting the playoffs but seriously Why can't they have Hawk and some Boston commentator in during these games. One commentator from each team. Its better than Berman. 1)A fight might break out. 2)One would have to be a play by play guy which really doesn't have a chance to be homeristic while the color guy could say whatever and promote his team most of the time. 3)They would clash and chances are they wouldn't sound professional in the least bit.

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 06:53 PM) If i set these images to the post from the website they will block the photos. Something about stealing bandwidth or some crap like that. Most are Rap Artists. So I just posted the links enjoy.

They were it because the White Sox have some of the best, if not thee best apparel in the major leagues. I'm pretty sure that LeBron is an Indians fan. 50 Cent is a Mets fan.

If you want to buy tickets for that series after the ALCS and you have some dough, you could look at realgmtix.com. They also got tickets available for those who might want to go to Fenway.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) You might want to check out Craig's list. Some of the asking prices are not as outrageous. By the way, most sellers will not split a pair of tickets. If anyone here is thinking about going through a broker and needs another buyer, PM me, http://chicago.craigslist.org/cgi-bin/sear...=min&maxAsk=max It's disgusting to see guys sell upper deck tickets(528) for $300 each. That's beyond scalping. It's also sad to see Cub fans getting their hands on tickets and literally saying, "I'm going to make you bend over backwards to get them."

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) Original or replica? I remember the gold logo. I was never tempted to buy an authentic jersey because of the outrageous prices... I just have a Jordan replica. Road red Champion from '96 which will probably always be my favorite pro basketball uniform. Authentic baby. I got it for my 12th birthday and I appreciated it very much. I want to get a Scottie Pippen one as well, but I can't find any authentics of that.

In the AL Sexson would've won it for me.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 02:44 PM) I still don'tknow what to think of LaMar. That he was a f***ing horrible GM who tried to swindle everyone.

Gotta win that 3rd game first.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 10:35 AM) I've never really understood the McCarver bashing. He says some really obvious things, but not everyone who watches the playoffs is a die-hard baseball fan. So, it's kind of nice to have the announcer explain things. Boone added nothing to the booth. Bret, when all else fails, cry. I agree. McCarver catches alot of s*** around here for doing his job properly which is basically play simpleton for the casual fans out there.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) Do the Sox know something we don't? lol Well it's pretty obvious that whoever runs whitesox.com is Nastradamous.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 11:17 AM) how the f*** did you do that?? i went best available at NOON and ended up w/ sec 524 row 20 i mean yeah i'm hellaz happy i got tickets but HOW THE HECK??? you're magical. I'm wondering the same thing as well.

Hey, we don't only have C-List celebrities as fans. I'm most definately a class D.

QUOTE(Balance @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 11:14 AM) I got shut out for game 1. I asked for 4 tickets. Maybe that was a mistake. I don't see myself getting more luck with any subsequent attempts. I asked for 4 for Game 1 and got them. Not the greatest seats, but shiiiit. It's good enough for my buddies.

I got 538/48? right away. If it wasn't for me, my buddies would've been waiting 15 minutes. Instead the saviour came through and got in while only waiting 3 minutes.

Well I have to say I'm the quickest mouseclicker this side of the Mississippi. I was one of the first to get in. The longest wait time given for me was 3 minutes and it bounced between that and "less than 1 minute". Best I was able to do was section 548.

George Lopez. Adewale Ogunleye said he's a White Sox fan on Bears Blitz.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 10:29 AM) BTW, Mick Foley (Mankind) is from Long Island. He's a Yankees fan. Just because he's from New York doesn't mean he's a NY fan. I've heard from seveal places including that article that he's a White Sox fan.

I don't know, but I don't like how everyone thinks this game is a lock for Freddy and the Sox. I have more confidence in Freddy, but the most dangerous opponent is one that is down and seems to be out.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 08:40 AM) Why would this bother you? He may have interned in chicago, but he is from New York. If you moved to New York for an internship, would you expect to change allegiances? Yeah, I kind of figured he was from New York because he never wants to give Chicago teams their dap. Like when he said he would drop the 96 Bulls down to the 3rd or 4th best team ever behind the 83 Sixers(which I agree was a good team, but they didn't win enough).

Vince Vaughn!!!!! At least he went to a game. I heard about Jessica Simpson too, but I'm not sure still. How did anyone forget Lisa Dergan?

Hopefully his son grows up sane and rips on scientology. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are 2 of the weirdest people ever.
