October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(Soxfest @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) I got shut out again and I am not going to pay crazy prices to sit in the upperdeck. TV at home is a fine alternative to me Soxfest I thought your dad had season tickets..??
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:33 PM) i had a 2 minute wait for game 1 at 12:01.....nothing. Me too, then there was a magical error in processing my request, and by the time I could try again I'm sure it was all sold out. It's alright though, I bought Batman Begins at Best Buy and they gave me 2 free pops. So I guess it kinda evens out. or not
October 18, 200520 yr no tix here. had 4 people trying to get thru forever but nada. i just was listenin to this radio station and some guy and 30 of his coworkers got on whitesox.com to try and get tickets. not one got thru. but yea we did fight the good fight and i suppose its good to know that if you didnt get thru, your best friend didnt get thru so theres no animoscity. all the REAL fans, the blue collar working class that defines most White Sox fans wont be in the ballpark.
October 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 07:41 PM) Yeah, they're safe. They are in my building...and they are a bunch of assholes. ***clarifying*** I am not endorsing them at all. Just saying that yes, if you buy from them, you will get your crap. They are nothing more than a legalized ring of crooks working through loopholes. They should NEVER be supported. I agree with they never should be supported but they exist because people do pay those ridiculous prices so what can you do?

October 18, 200520 yr I had 3 computers lined up right next to each and 3 phones going. I got two tickets to two seperate games.
October 18, 200520 yr I lucked out. I got 1 ticket for game 6. My friends tried the same thing ( 1 ticket) and I'm the only person who got through. It sucks to have to go by myself but hell I'll take it.

If you paid with the same credit card or even with credit cards from the same billing address, those orders will both be cancelled according to the published purchase guidelines. Hopefully that is not the case, and have a dog and a brew for me at the games.

October 18, 200520 yr I got a rock it really sucks to have been watching this team all my life, and too see some mlb personnel and media steal all our seats I can't say I'm dissapointed though, because I got what I expected
October 18, 200520 yr As much as this sucks...and I agree it does... At least we even have the subject to talk about, and it sure as hell beats asking how Rowand's golf game is right now, or prospecting off-season moves.... Its an f'ed up, commercialized world...but s***.... WERE IN THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!
October 18, 200520 yr there's all kind of s*** on stubhub, but nuttin for the folks who live and die with this team. Ain't right.
October 18, 200520 yr Ok so a family friend of ours bought season tickets this morning at like 8 AM, and DID NOT get WS tix. On TV today LIVE at like 10 the news showed people going to the ballpark and getting season tickets and WS tickets. Something is completely wrong with this situation.
October 19, 200520 yr Well I guess we all should just be happy we are in the WS, not saying we aren't, but at least we are in it. With that said, I know a scrub fan who said he was going to try to buy tickets, if I find out he got them im gonna be pissed!!
October 19, 200520 yr There still might be some hope if people don't pick up their tickets for some reason.
October 19, 200520 yr Ugh, read this from another msg board I post on, from a Cubs fan; And my brother will be there! He was lucky enough to get his ticket online this afternoon. I also got through and had a $140 seat reserved but lost my ticket when my damn dial up connection timed out between purchase stages. I can't believe we both got through. Not bad considering they only had 4000 tickets for the general public available for each game. Tickets sold out in 18 minutes. http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.p...287#post4098287
October 19, 200520 yr Ok, after checking with like 20 different brokers, the cheapest price I have found is 700 bucks for the worst seat in the house. I don't see anyone biting at that price. I'm pretty sure you will do MUCH better by just showing up to the park on game day and working the parking lots. Don't sweat it guys, bring cash, wait them out and we will get in.
