T-minus six minutes. Any tips/tricks on getting in there to get tickets?

Yep, that was your best chance at good tickets. I looked on Tuesday and the entire White Sox series only had single seats available.

Don't have a mastercard and can't afford the 20% premium. They're more than I can afford as it is.

The stupid fucking thing lets me choose what I want, but when I click how many and where I want, it says traffic can't allow the transaction. Fuuck.

Aaaaand the game I need is soldout now.

Welcome to Cubs fandom. If it was a premium game it probably sold out in the first or second day of the presale. You could always post the date you are looking for and try to beg one of the season ticket holders on this board to help you out.

I need 3 tickets, that's the problem. Plus, they're premium games which screws me. I can get them on StubHub for $56/ticket in section 516. Ridiculous for a Thursday game.

Anybody going to be in Vegas in mid-March? I was going to get tickets, but I don't really have anyone to go with. I have taken my son to these games in the past, but he never watches them anyway.

I'll be there March 17-21 for March Madness. Unfortunately, I'm a weekend too late.

Thursday, July 15th vs. Phillies

I'm spoiled living in LA with low demand for tickets for Dodger games, considering they have a huge ballpark. I've gotten tickets for $1, and usually around $5-10 on StubHub for Cubs/Dodgers tickets every year.

I doubt I can do anything for you on the 17th, but I will see if I can find you anything on the 15th.

That Thursday game may be a bit tougher/more expensive than expected as it is the the only Thursday evening game in summer.

Nice pull. Together with the fact that the Phils have won the NL the last two seasons, and it's the first game of the second half, no surprise at the demand and I knew it'd be more. Just a little shocked at exactly how high it is, and because my friends and I are poor workers in the retail business, it kind of puts some of us out of going.
