October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 05:36 PM) I gave up on my one search that was still running. I put in a request for 2 tickets to game 2, got in line shortly after noon, and now the server has been telling me I have a 2 minute wait for about half an hour. I have the same problem, except one ticket to game six...
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) Now that surprises me. I would think that teams would have a choice about whether they choose to sell on the open market or conduct a "lottery" like the Astros did. MLB controls CS and WS tickets.
October 18, 200520 yr it's one thing to get cockblocked out of tickets. that happened last time and i was expecting it again. but to get so excited about having tickets and then have them f***ing taken away is ridiculous. :headshake
October 18, 200520 yr Game 1 is entirely sold out. I got there with 4 people through the queve got that error message, dropped down to 2, got that error message, and now at 1 get that error message. Right at 12 I got through one on of them only to have it drop out with some stupid error message. Oh well, what you going to do.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) FYI, ticketmaster rep said they are all gone. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
October 18, 200520 yr i've tried for single tickets in games 2, 6, and 7 now and they say there're none available so if you're still waiting in line, i'd suggest...ummm...not. unless you've still got faith.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(Allsox @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:32 PM) Like a broker wouldn't hire 100 people to get in line for the lottery either.... I'm not thinking it would or should be a get in line thing. Why not do it like they did for the 2003 ASG, where you sent in a postcard if you wanted a chance to buy tix. I wanted to go, I sent in 200 postcards, and I got tix. For the World Series I'd happily send in 500. Damn the postage and frull speed ahead!
October 18, 200520 yr is it possible for me to get fake tickets off ebay? and if so can i get my money back?

Huge difference between setting up a lottery for a set event months in advanced, and then having to sell tickets a week prior to the World Series.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) MLB controls CS and WS tickets. Why would they do a lottery for some teams and not others?
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 11:50 AM) Booyah 1 ticket section 506 row 18. And I will take it, wow. Downers grove?
October 18, 200520 yr The lottery could be contained to people registered at whitesox.com like the Cubs/Sox extras were. They could have made it so you had to be registered before a certain date. Of course it is MLBs call, but considering they hold lotteries in STL and HOU the teams do have some influence on how the tickets are to be sold.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) Why would they do a lottery for some teams and not others? That is the 5 thousand dollar question.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(CubsSuck1 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) Downers grove? From my work and my mega piped network in Elmhurst.
October 18, 200520 yr Think about this. Perhaps if Houston had won last night it would have been easier to get tickets today. Maybe there is a lot of St. Louis people also trying to get tickets, phone internet whatever. Just adds to the congestion. If they dont go and have tickets they would probably sell them. But if STL had been elimnated last night I bet there would have been less traffic.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 11:54 AM) Why the f*** is zero an option for your ticket quantity? Because they will actually be able to fill that.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(CubsSuck1 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 11:48 AM) Anyone wanna go bar-hopping Saturday night? Since we all got f***ed by Ticketmaster I also wanted to know of anyone is interested in doing this... I'm up for whatever
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(Elcaballo45 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) I think they are trying to insult us, my word was "ongoing". I think my next word will be "hopeless". Mine was "choker"
October 18, 200520 yr If I can't find some tix at a reasonable price, I'll be in the city for the two games so I'm down for watching a game someplace with tons of Sox fans.
