I got selected.
Made it into the waiting room the second it opened.
Guess what?
No tickets available.
What a complete waste of time!

I got through right away and all that was left was standing room for G1. Went back in and ended up getting exactly one ticket for Game 2. Decent seat though--Sec. 219, Row 3. Everything was gone by 10:05. Last year I got 2 tix for Games 1 and 3. I think they opened it up before 10am which is bullshit.

the Cubs are the biggest sellers on Stub Hub right now. No season ticket holders have their tickets yet, yet barcoded tickets are available on Stub Hub and have been for at least a week. Makes me frustrated as a season ticket holder.

Thank you for registering for the chance to purchase tickets to Cubs 2016 postseason games to be played at Wrigley Field. Unfortunately, your entry was not selected in this random drawing for National League Championship Series tickets.

The only tickets they offer those who "win the ticket lottery" are for standing room or seats way up in the upper deck. Not even worth going for those. Ticket brokers are making huge coin on these games, but it's the only way to get a decent seat.

That is the first I have heard of bleacher tickets being included in the lottery. If that is true, I stand corrected.

Highest price paid for a World Series ticket in Chicago? A fan paid $71,800 for 4 tickets on StubHub to Game 5. Refunded if Cubs don't play.

Someone should be nice and give me a WS ticket. You can write it off on your taxes.

Wow...I'm thinking of selling 2 or 4 in Sect 38 to game 3 or 4...If I could get $12-15k each...guess I'd be an idiot not to do it.
