So who's got Cubs tickets?
I'm trying to get some, but the phone and Internet lines are too busy. It's insane! Anyone get luckier than I?

One year I got the wristband, but I had a crappy number and I woke up early to see what the number was for nothing. It was funny seeing other people around town with the plastic wristbands.

1. When I was a kid they always had
bleacher tix available on the day of the game and they cost $1.50. (damn I'm only 33, what happened?) I am moving to Chicago in May and basically figure that going to a Cubs game for me will be hanging out in Wrigleyville.

3. That's still the way to go--if you don't have a day job. nt
Hanging out from about noon, hit or miss.

2. Ever try Stubhub?
It can be "pricey", but often the selection is pretty good.

4. you mean the cubs "ticket scam"?
called the cubs for tickets for a company outing. their reply-well we don`t have that many tickets in a row and we don`t know if we even have that many and if we don`t we will try and find you some for another date. oh by the way send in several thousand dollars and we will hold it until we find something by the end of the season then if we don`t we will send back your money...fuck that. call the sox-boston sunday game 56 tickets no problem left field lower box 20 rows from the field. call back a couple of weeks later cause we have to reschedule-no problem better seats,lower price and it`s a sunday afternoon game versus the yankees. send a deposit and we will bill you the amount. fuck the tribune`s ticket scam, at least the sox guys are on the level.

6. There's a reason Sox tickets are easier to get.
No one wants to watch the Sox, that's why. :evilgrin:

7. I didn't bother this year
Last year EVERYONE in my office was trying to get them on-line all day. None of us ever got any. My then wife got tickets for three games last year.
