That funky motion Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 05:45 PM) I think you guys who put deposits down still may be alright. On the other site someone there is claiming his friend got called at 1 pm today when the tickets were all gone and got his tickets for next year and 2 upper deck seats to all WS games. Your such a tease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Got a question. Is there a way to cut a deal with a ticket broker or someone where if you wanted tix to one teams world series and you had tix to another teams series (obviously you can't really do it this year, but if it was ahead of time) would you be able to make some sort of deal with a broker so you could trade a set of world series tix to a team you didn't care for, for one that you do want to see. Like a Cardinal fan purchasing them and than dealing them for White Sox tickets (obviously this would have to be done in advance). Just curious.

chimpy2121 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) Everything I'm reading over on WSI is making me feel more and more unsure about this whole thing, but then again who knows who is telling the truth. I trust Steff the most in this whole situation. Edited October 19, 2005 by chimpy2121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEWOOD Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 just received this email from a sales rep.... We are anticipating at this point that any requests submitted after 7pm yesterday evening, will, unfortunately, not be filled. However, we are still in the process of filling orders that have come in within the past 24 hours. An email should be going out shortly to all those who submitted online requests with more information. Thank you for your patience.

chimpy2121 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I hung up. 20 minutes and no one answered. I think everyone probably is gone from there. It was nice getting some Rooney and Farmer pbp though. I guess I'll just have to wait for tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Sorry for the brief message earlier. Yesterday afternoon I e-mailed my rep directly looking to see if I could upgrade from a 27 game plan for next year to a full season with WS tickets to all games this year. A girl called today and I got through, I have to go tomorrow and pick up 2 to each of the World Series games. I also have all 81 next year in left field reserved. Total cost $5,100. Yikes, it is spilt 5 ways though. This is a great deal. The two guys were going to pay $1,000 a ticket instead they got two for game two and two to thirty games next year for about the same price. Not a bad deal. The brawl for game 7 will make Lord of Flies look like the Waltons. Good luck my friends I hope otehrs are as lucky. The White Sox are in the World Series, still brings a smile.

RibbieRubarb Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 03:48 PM) Hey Ribbs.. what's the avaliabilty of 533, lower rows, up there.. ? Sorry Steff, I didn't see your post earlier... During the Season, the front five or six rows are reserved for only FULL season plans. The 27 game plans are farther back But they are availble, according to my rep, around that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangercal Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 This email was sent to members from a different board: PLEASE READ: IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RECENT ONLINE DEPOSIT Thank you for your interest in our on-line 2006 season tickets/World Series offer. As you might imagine we have received an overwhelming response and the demand for World Series tickets far exceeds what we have available. We are in the process of calling everyone whose order we can fill in order to confirm seat location and other details. Based on the number of orders we have already received, we will not be able to fill all orders. If you have not spoken with someone in our sales department by Friday at noon, it is highly unlikely that we will be able to fulfill your request. Once it is clear that we are not able to fulfill your request, we will refund the online fee to your credit card. As a reminder, by submitting your deposit online you acknowledged that World Series tickets are limited, and your offer to purchase 2006 season tickets and 2005 World Series tickets may not be accepted by the Chicago White Sox, in its discretion. Your order is not accepted until you have been contacted by an account executive, selected a seat location, your credit card has been charged and the charge of your credit card has been authorized by the applicable network. We appreciate your patience and your enthusiasm for the White Sox, and we hope you’ll continue to support us as we work to bring a World Series Championship to Chicago.

ZoomSlowik Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Interesting. It looks like there's still hope. Either way, my Dad and I are getting ST for next year. We're actually going to try to change our order from Lower Deck Reserved to at least Lower Deck Box, maybe Lower Deck Premium Box. Either way, I've always wanted season tickets and it looks like I'll finally be getting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEWOOD Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 i received this from deb in reply to my email.... You should’ve received the following email last night from your new sales representative: Thank you for your interest in our on-line 2006 season tickets/World Series offer. As you might imagine we have received an overwhelming response and the demand for World Series tickets far exceeds what we have available. We are in the process of calling everyone whose order we can fill in order to confirm seat location and other details.

We appreciate your patience and your enthusiasm for the White Sox, and we hope you’ll continue to support us as we work to bring a World Series Championship to Chicago. Please note that most of those that came to U.S. Cellular Field were picking up already-placed orders, or solely putting in a request (as you did online), Those requests were and are still be filled first-come, first-served. Their requests did not guarantee World Series tickets – just as the online requests did not as well. We are making every effort to contact everyone by Friday. Thank you for your patience.
