One machine started to transfer to what looked like it would be a schedule and then STOPPED and put me back in the waiting room. I almost cried.

I've waited for about 30 minutes, so far. No luck yet.

I'm thinking of just grabbing up some Cubs vs Brewers ticket in Milwaukee, instead.

Virtual Waiting Room for Red Sox tickets was nothing more than ticket ordering limbo for me. Got nothin.

Wheeee!!

One of my machines did get in. I bought 4 tickets to the Cardinals game in May and then when I clicked on Buy More Tickets it booted me back to the waiting room.

ARGGHHHH!

I would like to go to a weekend game, but I'm considering taking off an afternoon to head to Milwaukee.

Do it. Ever been to Miller Park for a Cubs game? It's pretty much a home game for the Cubs.

Virtual Waiting room is my friend.

I just scored 4 tix for Cubs-Sox on my birthday (July 2). :)

Last fall, I scored 4 for Game 2 of the NLCS. I also got through the VWR when Game 7 tickets went on sale, but I was (stupidly) on dialup that day, and I timed out while searching for seats.

I just picked up 4 seats for July 6, left side infield. Should be nice seats. Should be packed with Cubs fans, since Milwaukee is pretty much torn up this year with all their management issues.

What? You guys mean to tell me there's a line to buy ticket to a baseball game?

I'd be fine with a line, like a fileplanet download. But this apparently random crap is freaking annoying.

I agree with that. I hope the Angels don't pull that when their tickets go onsale next week.

I finally go through, and the Cubs vs St Louis game was sold out. I had to settle for Pittsburg a couple weekends later.

I left a few browsers open all day here at work, and I ended up getting through 3 times. I got tickets for a Sox game and a Braves game, and I let a co-worker get tickets for a Phillies game.
