Looking for 3-4 bleacher tickets for 6 August vs Houston

I’m flying in from Austin for the extended weekend to meet with my family and have a send- off for my brother who reports for Army duty the following week. The St Louis series is sold out and will be difficult to get into. I figure we have a much easier chance to get bleacher tickets for the Wednesday 1:20 game.

Let me know if there are any extras: jeff.surly at gmail.com

Thanks!

Wanted: 3 Tickets to 8/4 Astros game

I am looking for three tickets to the 8/4 Cubs vs. Astros game. Section/row unimportant- I would just like to get in. (Even 2 tickets or 1+1+1 would help!)

I’m a long-time BCB reader, and I have two friends coming in from out of town- one is a Cubs transplant in Boston, one is an old friend from Indiana I’m hoping to convert to the Cubs cause!

We’re hoping to avoid the scalpers and ticket agencies- my backup option is to show them around Wrigley and watch the game at a bar. Even if you don’t have tickets to exchange, please let me know if you have any leads or ideas. Anything would be appreciated. Thanks!

Cubs/Cards tickets

Looking for two tickets the weekend of Aug 9th/10th. My Mom is coming down from Wisconsin and wants to go to Wrigley with me. I’m not too picky about where the tickets would be (I can really sit anywhere in Wrigley and have a good time) but if you have decent UD tickets that’d be even better as I’m working on a nifty photography project at Wrigley (hopefully I can post it on here near the end of the season!).

Looking to swap 2 tix for Sun 8/10 for 2 on Fri 8/8

I’ve got a few more friends coming into town on Friday and fewer that will be able to make the late start on Sunday. I was hoping someone might be able to swap their Friday’s for the night game on Sunday? Sun tix are Sec 518, Rox 8 (right next to the press box). I would ideally like something on Fri in Sec 518 or 523, but could deal with a range of 515-526.

I am also willing to consider paying a premium if you only have higher retail value tix. Email me at curtissgre@msn.com

I don't know how approriate this is

(if it’s not, Al, please remove) but I have 4 GA tickets to The Smashing Pumpkins sold out concert this weekend at The Venue at The Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN (20 min outside of the Loop). The reason I am not able to make it is b/c I just bought 3 tickets to the Cubs game the same day and I’m going w/ the same people who would’ve gone to the concert. Anyways, I bought each for $100 but am willing to negotiate and at this point am just looking to get them out of my hands. Let me know. Jayo525@gmail.com. Thanks

Marrying off my daughter, she’s picking up her wedding dress, but before she does she desperately wants to see Cubs-Cards Saturday before taking the plunge.

Buster Olney said a few days ago that the Braves would entertain offers for their 26 year old shortstop (who makes 450k) Yunel Escobar. He is a plus bat, a solid defender, and would move Theriot to his more appropriate position at second.

They are looking for a bat in return. Apparently Cox doesn't like the guy. 

I couldn't even speculate what we'd have to send them in return, but I think he would be a good fit given his low salary, his productive bat, his position, and his age.  I don't care if he's a jerk if he makes the team win more.

What would it take?
