Greg Hibbard Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 take the train to the cell at 6:30, wait until 7:30 or bottom of the second trying to get in at $250 or less lower bowl, face or just above it for upper deck. We plan to hang around just east of the cordoned off area, between the green and red lines and on the expy. if we fail, take the red line back up to downtown and scramble into a bar to catch the rest. is this hairbrained? bound to fail? genius?

Greg Hibbard Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 oh we definitely will. my buddy and I aren't thinking we're definitely going to get in or anything. But I'd shoot myself if I didn't try. I've tried literally everything else. I've got to try this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I passed along your plan to the CFO.. who for some reason since we took him and his fiance to a game earlier this year, seems to think that we should have gotten them tickets to a game.

I think it's a great idea. No harm in trying. If you do come up short, there's a bunch of great bars around the area that you can go to and watch the game.

whitesoxin' Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'm also thinking that it might be better to try this on Sunday, since the demand tomorrow will be unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. Scalpers can't get as close to the park as they'd like to, and there wont be as many people there because of the "bubble". The market is going to favor the buyer both days, IMO. Good luck regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my plan, but I'm doing it for game 2. I'll let you guys be the guinea pigs. The sucky part is, if I don't get in, I'll have to ride the train back up north and will have a hard time getting into the bars I like and will miss most of the game.

Dick Allen Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 We parked by Shinnock's, and I can tell you there was absolutely no security bubble all the way to the gate. We had 4 or 5 people ask us if we were selling but saw nobody selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
