October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:22 PM) Yeah, people are going to put this on Brooks and what not again, when it's not his doing. This is just a mess. I know the Sox haven't been there in a billion years, but they need to catch up with the times and do a lottery or something. Ticketbastard can't handle this s***. i know its not on brooks but he's someone that can do something about it, unlike us who get the shaft and have no say.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(Allsox @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) This is NOT the White Sox' fault....This isn't even Ticketmaster's fault....Too much demand and not enuff supply....That's all it is so please, don't bring this up at the Seminars at Sox Fest cuz they won't be able to help or offer advice.... Lottery. At least then you don't THINK you are 2 minutes away from getting a ticket. And don't have to worry about a slow server when you are submitting your CC number as your tickets get released.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(Allsox @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) Even if they did a lottery, people would complain about that as well.... But they would realistically not have as much to complain about. A lottery would be the fairest way to do this.
October 18, 200520 yr MOTHER f***ING TICKETMASTER/SCRUB FANS! This is horses*** -- my pops has been a fan of this team since the early 30's and we can't get tickets but this f***ing duech bag Scrubs fan next to me got 4 to games 1 AND 2 -- Only to f***ing sell them! I seriously feel like beating this s*** bag senseless!
October 18, 200520 yr Looks like I am locked out too. I have two computers frozen in the search mode since about 12 pm.
October 18, 200520 yr If you were a season ticket holder for the 2005 season, what is the minimum-game ticket plan that guaranteed you World Series tickets?
October 18, 200520 yr I could not get tickets today but my wife and I will be there by the park to support the sox! Edited October 18, 200520 yr by bulokis
October 18, 200520 yr I can't even get the pages to load right. I got screwed out of a place in line twice because the damn word verification wouldn't load. In a couple of cases I couldn't even get to the event page. I'm down to one spot in line on the first computer I used. It's never been at more than a 4 minute wait, but it's been stuck on 2 minutes for quite a while now. If the page would actually load, I'm sure it'll tell me tough luck at this point.

Brooks' department is not tickets. His title is Vice President, Marketing. Yes, he's approachable, but I don't think he has ANY control over this.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(CubsSuck1 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 05:27 PM) Hopefully my bro in LA got through... gonna give him a call Lol at the sig!

October 18, 200520 yr Not surprised that almost everyone on here struggled to get tickets. Oh well, I'm not going to let this ruin my excitement for the WS.

That's why the lottery makes sense. You still may have a snowball's chance, but it levels the playing field. Swing and a miss on tix here, btw. Surprised?

October 18, 200520 yr My page has been loading for the past ten minutes; and, it says "Less than one minute". Talk about a kick in the balls once the inevitable "Can't complete your request" comes up...

I'm bummed that I can't go to Chicago now, but I still get to see the games. I don't think anyones pissed about that.
