Here’s the deal. The “Al” at VEB was a leftover from the pre-SBN 2.0, when people could have the same user name at different blogs. That isn’t me, but that person can’t use “Al”, either.
And neither can anyone else. Nice try, though.

Question
I am trying to get tickets to the July 21 game between the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros at Wrigley Field.
It is not letting me buy the tickets. Instead, I am getting told that “We’re sorry, but the venue’s ticketing server is currently offline for scheduled maintenance. Please try your request again later.”
What should I do?

Keep in mind I will have probably less than zero chance of getting online again until tomorrow night, given a snow removal order and massive computer problems I have been having at home.
