Are you best requesting for 2 tickets as opposed, to say, 4?

Whats the weather forecast there in Chicago for this weekend? If Im lucky enough to get tickets I will be coming from MI this Sat or Sun. Thanks.

How are all those numbers working right about now?

All of the ones I'm working seem to be getting through rather quickly.

Good luck all. Hopefully this is like the ultimate Christmas day for some on here. :)

And, are you being put on hold now, or are you just getting the same message I'm getting, "Press 1 for White Sox", "Press 1 for White Sox WS Tix", "Press 1 for Game 1", yada yada yada?

If you follow it through, it will tell you: not on sale yet.

Good luck gang!!! Hopefully a ton of us come back having nailed down some tix!

Whatever you do.. IF you get them from one source do NOT try to buy them from a second source. Both orders will be cancelled if the CC's match.

 

If you use different cards are you OK? Any idea?

uh oh, welcome to the land of fast busy signals.

I called 1866 SOX GAME and I am getting a busy signal I also have 4 computers running here I rally want to get these :)

Last question, are you guys just at the World Series ticketmaster site, refreshing it until noon?

 

http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/04003B2C...4&minorcatid=10

 

I suggest not refreshing every few seconds when noon arrives. I just attempted it right now, to have a guage of how quickly the page reloads, and a page popped up which prohibits me from accessing tickets for "several minutes." I understand its purpose;but it's been nearly 5 minutes and I still can't access the ticketpage.

 

Don't screw yourselves trying this.

 

NOTE: Reload more than 7 times within a short period of time and you'll come up with the warning.

You might be risking it due to addresses.

Yes that happened to me and it went back in less than 5 min you just can not flood their server.

 

I still can not get thru at 866-SOX-GAME

O.K., then I wait until my cell phone and computer read 11:59 and 59 seconds and then I hit it...right?:D

i heard around 50's for gametime on Saturday and 40's on Sunday.

AH!!! Only 20 min left till they are on sale!!!

This moment reminds me of the 1st time I got really, really drunk and I had my head in the toilet promising God all the things I'd do if he'd just make it stop.

 

"God, if you allow me to get WS tix, I will never, ever......."

I've tried every local number. I've tried Columbus. Indianapolis. Detroit. Cincinnati. Kansas City. Fargo, ND. Sacramento. Albuquerque. All of them are busy. It looks like the phone is totally shut down.

I wonder if the official clock Ticketmaster uses is in line with mine.

 

How if I attempt ordering tickets at 12:00 on my computer, when it reality, ticketmaster had already begun selling several minutes before?

 

To avoid that issue, I'm beginning at 11:57 and reloading once every 20 seconds. I'm sure everyone is thinking similarily--but you know there are several thousand people waiting for their clock to hit 12 before attempting to purchase tickets.

I found this on the TickMaster.com game selection window.

"You may only purchase tickets to (1) game of the Series!

There is a (4) ticket limit per household for the game that you choose.

ORDERS FOR MULTIPLE GAMES AND ORDERS EXCEEDING THE 4 TICKET LIMIT WILL BE CANCELLED WITHOUT NOTIFICATION! "

I knew it was only 4 per game, but you can only buy one game dam. I say dam and I have not been able to get tixs for one game :P
