BCB Game Day -- UPDATED!!

by sparkles721 on Jun 12, 2007 2:16 PM CDT

Update [2007-6-12 14:14:12 by Al]: It appears we're going to have extra tickets. If you were thinking about coming but didn't know how you would get a ticket, email me (link on right sidebar).

Update [2007-6-11 15:34:59 by Al]: To everyone mentioned below, I will email you in the next day or so to confirm you are coming, and to make arrangements to get you your ticket(s) -- probably at the game. See you then! Hey BCBers!

I am posting this because Al and I want to confirm who is going and who is not and who else wants to go to make sure everyone can get a ticket.

Here's a list I have, and I want to know how accurate it is:

> cashcowsquirtingsourmilk
> cubbieboy-1
> Kchance
> MJ
> jessica(might come)
> 26.2cubfan
> roach-1
> Jesse Guam
> Laven-1
> Imtrejo
> giddyup
> gauchodirk

If you guys want to come off the list, go on the list, stay on the list, or whatever please post or send an email!

Thanks and we hope to see you SATURDAY JUNE 16 the Cubs against Jake Peavy's (and Greg Maddux's)Padres.

I hope everyone is having a terrific day! :)

I will be there

I already have my two tickets for the bleachers that day. My girlfriend and I will be leaving Indy early Saturday morning and hopefully be to Wrigley by 10:30. By the way, its my girlfriends first time in the bleachers.

2007 is the year, I can feel it in my bones.

Note!

I have tickets. For those who need them, post here or send email, and sparkles and I will make sure you get them.

Price is $48 each -- that's the $42 price plus the rapacious tickets.com fees.

Question

Has anyone picked a meeting place for everybody yet, or are we just going to try and find everyone in the left field bleachers?

I would like....

... as many people to arrive early as possible... that way we can all sit together in the LF corner. That seems the best meeting place.

Done.

I MIGHT come

but not until I know Maddux will NOT pitch either Saturday or
Sunday. Flying in from NYC is a bit indulgent but um I do have
nearly 300,000 airline miles which are only suppossed to be used for unscheduled Cub events so this might qualify. Will be
watching Padres rotation

Note, you are on the list above.

I presume you want one, unless you tell us otherwise.

I am going to

have to back out. I can't make it that weekend because the next weekend I have an exam for the fire department and will need some study time. I'll probably be coming out in July instead

by Laven on May 22, 2007 1:45 PM CDT reply actions

Understood.

Sorry you can't make it -- stop by in July when you're there.

Ticket

I'm in, but I still need a ticket. Just let me know who I can buy one from, and I'll make arrangements.

Also, I'm not sure at this point if I'll be able to get there early. I'll try to, but I don't know for sure yet.

My first post in close to forever

I still plan on being there, and I'd like to bring the new girlfriend if another ticket can be procured.

Whoops

I read that as you needing to procure a new girlfriend. Heh, that's a funny mistake.

I am definitely going

if there are any tickets I can buy. I want to go with 3 people but if I can only get 2 tickets that would be fine

by roach on Jun 11, 2007 10:36 PM CDT reply actions

You're on the list too.

I'll send out an email to everyone here in the next day or so.

Look people I am FLYING 800 miles

and I have to watch Maddux pitch against the Cubs on Sunday
so hopefully the rest of you can come.
I figured it was time to use up some of those "Cubs" only airline miles I have collected. I was nearing 300.000 so what the hell
( sorry no trips to Hawaii, London etc allowed. My miles are for
Cubs related use only and not my "regularly" scheduled trips.)

Now just everyone keep their fingers crossed that I can get up
at 5AM Saturday and my flight is on time.

Is it going to rain?

If it's going to be incredibly hot, I would rather it be sunny.

I will not be going

I can't be in Chicago that weekend after all, so somebody can use the ticket saved for me.

thanks anyway!

Come on guys!

Z is pitching that day. If you weren't coming this is your chance!

I will be there with one Cub fan and two White Sox

fans.

One of the Sox fans didn't know there aren't assigned seats in the bleachers and now he is getting there at 10 a when the gates open. He is taking the train in tonight so that he can be first in line.

I might ask for BCB help to give this guy some all-in-good-fun kidding. I lost a sizable bet over last year's comparative team records.
