If you're a Cubs fan, then you're all too familiar with this process. The awesome news came out yesterday that the Blackhawks and the NHL will hold a random drawing for the opportunity to purchase Winter Classic tickets. Registration will begin tomorrow around 11am CST and end on Friday Nov. 28th at 10:59 CST.
What does this mean for those of us in the public? It means the public will be going head to head with ticket brokers/scalpers/people who are buying tickets only to resell them in an all out battle to see how many email addresses you can register with. Not only will you make a few more email addresses that you will otherwise never use, but you will ask friends to sign up as well and then hope they don't stab you in the back if they do win the superawesometotallysweetandgreatfun random ticket drawing!
I'm frustrated to say the least, because I know sometime in early December, all my registrations will receive some email saying, "Hey hockey fan! Thanks for your interest in the Winter Classic at historic Wrigley Field. Unfortunately, you were not selected for the opportunity purchase tickets, but we do thank for your interest. The suits that are taking your place will be sure to talk about nothing hockey related and only catch a few minutes of the game in between portfolio and stock market talk. Oh, and don't forget, there are still tickets available!! Just check our best friends over at StubHub. There's plenty of options available, if you don't mind spending a month's rent on a ticket! Thanks again!"
Pretty sure you know how I feel. Anyway, good luck with the random drawing...and if you've got an extra, ah screw it, sell it for big profit and enjoy the money.
