Default Anyone actually going to the World Series?

Title says it all...

A World Series for the ages! I hope some fellow board members are able to see history in person!

Go Cubs Go!

I'm flying to Chicago, but I'll be in the crowd outside the park. I can't afford tickets.

I know for Kauffman their standing room was on a first come first serve basis.

Supposed to go as a worker in a booth Tuesday and have the option of Weds.

They were saying on the radio that in Chicago the close bars are charging $500 to get in for the game. $500 to go to a bar!!!

Going to all three WS games at Wrigley, left center bleachers. I attended 19 games this year, with an additional two playoff games.

I was in Wrigleyville on Friday and Saturday night. Tickets were too expensive, but the atmosphere was terrific!

I drove from Indiana to Cleveland for game 1. Not the greatest game for me as I'm a cubs fan but was a great experience nonetheless.

Most of the bars were charging a $100 cover per person, with a 2 drink minimum and a guarantee that you will not get a seat.

I thought that getting there a couple hours early would get me a seat, but one of the regulars told me to"show up by noon" to get a seat.

I rolled down to game 7 and shot a great video at the end of the Cubs fans singing Go Cubs Go...

If you want to trade some Cubbies, let me know...I have some vintage and modern available for trade...

I had access to tickets for any games at Wrigley, sadly, I won't be using them. A Yankees/ Cubs World Series would have been pretty cool.

Just read that someone bought 4 tix two rows behind dugout (can't remember which one) for game 1 for $72,600!

That my friends is someone with money to burn....!

Anthony If I were you, I would be so tempted to sell and see what you could get for them. Have you thought about it?

Default Game 2

I attended Game 2 tnte:::
felt more like 1.5 or 2 games than 1...
some beautiful moments,some sloppy moments,and many moments in between::::
I paid about 1/100th of $72,600 and felt I got my moneys worth.
Is certain to be a great series,,,(GO BLUE!)

I'm going to be in section 311 for Game 6. My ticket was a gift from my wife. Earlier this year I sent her to meet John Legend and now she has returned the favor with Yasiel Puig.😉
