October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 01:48 PM) Thanks for the kind words. I am definitely a regular fan, son of a school teacher. I just got lucky. I immediately tried for game 7 and asked for Reserved seats because I wanted to try to minimize costs from my Mom. If it does not go 7, it gets refunded. I knew it was riskier to go for game 7 first because there mught not be one but I'm an upside guy. Thanks again for the congratulations, I almost didn;t try because I heard that it was hopeless. s***. if i had known that, I would've tried for game 7 first. I can only go to a Saturday game anyways. :banghead
October 18, 200520 yr I got 1 ticket to game 2 My F'n sister called the Fine Arts Center in Boston and they sold her 4 to game 2 and 4 to game 6 (on her friends credit card). Unbelievable.
October 18, 200520 yr http://cgi.ebay.com/1-Chicago-White-Sox-Wo...1QQcmdZViewItem f***ing anyone can buy tickets@!!@23 this is why selling though ticketmaster f***in sucks! Make us wait in line at the cell! motherf***ers@!
October 18, 200520 yr I checked ebay at 12:45 and there were 495 auctions (or some number above 400) for world series Sox tickets.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(JCarver27 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) For those who got game 7......what if it doesn't go 7 games? Do they give you your money back? Yes, but it usually takes some time. It may be a mail in program, a stop by the box office, etc. In all cases you will need your original tickets. You will also lose the TM surcharges. The clubs usually only refund the face value.
October 18, 200520 yr I got four for game six...they are split up (2 and 2) and in the upper deck, but I'm excited. My dad was so excited.
October 18, 200520 yr I AM A TICKET BROKER /Oh yeah, I edited this post. f*** the vultures. Edited October 18, 200520 yr by Gene Honda Civic
October 18, 200520 yr Yup, got diddly squat. Heck, at about 15 after the hour I tried the phones after I got squat on the computer. The phones were nothing but dead air. No busy signal, no ring. I thought I forgot a number at first, then I tried about 5 more times, all to the same result. Still trying the site though, as it is down to letting you choose 1 ticket, and it kicks me out every time. How the hell do people get these things? I clicked the button, it told me the tix were not on sale yet. I click right away again (not even 10 seconds later) and it told me my option returned no available results. How the hell in 10 seconds does that happen? Ach, I make better popcorn at home, I have better beer, and I can go out and buy some Bests Dogs and onions.

October 18, 200520 yr It appears that I can buy: A) A flat screen hd tv to watch the baseball game. B) World series tickets. Pretty insane. SB

October 18, 200520 yr I, like most of you, had about fifteen different people trying and no one got tickets. I think real fans should get first shot. At my work, they are all Cub fans and everyone of them tried for themselves. None of them got a ticket either. Maybe everyone can register their allegiance to a team upon arrival to Illinois and forever be held to that allegiance. That way, next year, when the Sox go to the World Series again, the real fans, like us, can see them play! (Sorry for the rant, but I really wanted to go, but I'm not going to pay $3,000 for $140 ticket!)
October 18, 200520 yr using 7 computers, my roommate and I were able to land 1 for game 2, and 2 for game 7. My other roommate called me and said he got 4 for game 6. $$$
