i chose frustrated since i believe here are my chances for tickets:
75% - no tickets
20% - NLDS game 4 but Cubs swept in 3
5% - NLDS game 4 but Lester is the pitcher

are you not a full season ticket or combo plan holder? If you're not, I'm not sure what dissatisfaction you would have...the Cubs give the legit plan holders all of the NLDS home games...

I'm gonna try and get them to flip them on stub hub. I'm probably not the only Sox fan doing this.

20K on the waiting list. I was 100K 4 years ago. Not sure there will be much movement anymore...

the waiting list, in true terms is an invention of the Cubs. There was a newspaper story in Feb of 2003 that the waiting list was over 10k, then the very next day I was able to buy my ticket package I still have today. It's smoke and mirrors a lot of seasons.

They are using the desire to get tickets to create a better database to target demographics, actually a very smart move.

Or you can show up at every radio station having Ron Kittle giving out sticks with Bacon on it....and actually think thats impressive.

First time I remember season tickets holders not get first crack at additional tickets.

No we didnt.....in the past they have allowed you to place an order for extra tickets well before the other tickets are released.

They didnt offer that this year when you paid for your playoff tickets....and its the way it should be for this team.

I understand other teams do this, but to allow the 20K that have season tickets to grab the other 10K that would go to the public isnt the right thing to do. Even though I would be able to get moe tickets and make a profit on them. Still wrong.

Might even go as far to say They dont want existing season ticket holders to have those tickets. The cubs are throwing a massive party and dont want the guy who had tickets 30 years ago, who doesnt use the tickets to have them...they the guy in the city to spend all his cash on taking a few hot chicks to the game...and they drink in the private club areas.

This is what they want!

In other words, they are now actively pursuing the stereotypical Cub fan. :lol:

Your ability to bring fans of the Cubs and Sox together in agreement over your weirdness truly is a gift.

Agreed. I think the policy is the right one. Give a greater number of fans the chance to get tickets.

Anyone else get one of these congratulatory emails? The tie-breaker game vs. the Giants in 97 or whenever was one of the best sporting events I've ever attended.


YOUR CHANCE TO PURCHASE TICKETS FOR POTENTIAL NATIONAL LEAGUE WILD CARD AND DIVISION SERIES GAMES AT WRIGLEY FIELD STARTS SEPTEMBER 28
Congratulations, you have been selected for the chance to purchase tickets to potential 2015 National League Wild Card and National League Division Series (NLDS) games at Wrigley Field. Your chance will begin at 10 a.m. CDT Monday, September 28, and end at 11:59 p.m. CDT Monday, September 28. Tickets are available for purchase on a first-come, first-served basis. As a reminder, being selected does not guarantee purchasing tickets.

You will receive an email the evening of Sunday, September 27, prior to the start of the sale with instructions on how to access this opportunity, including a unique one-time-use password that will be required for access. Please note this is an online-only purchase opportunity.

Fans can split their maximum of four tickets among multiple available games (e.g., two NLWCG tickets and two tickets to a NLDS game), but the unique code can only be used once, so games must be purchased during the same transaction. To add an additional game(s), click “Add another game” prior to completing your transaction.

The following potential 2015 postseason games at Wrigley Field will be included in this on-sale:
National League Wild Card: 7:08 p.m. CDT, Wednesday, October 7
