I have some extra copies of MLB 08 The Show for Playstation 3 that were sent to me along with a pair of Cubs Tickets that I plan on giving away here on CCB.  I’m wondering what type of contests you would like to see and take part in?

Would you like 2 seperate contests for each prize, or 1 contest with one person getting the first choice, and runner up getting the second prize?

Let me know what you think, and lets try to get this thing going later this week or the beginning of next week! Spread the word for a free copy of MLB 08 the Show or a pair of Cubs Tickets in the bleachers!

Well this morning was the day a lot of Cubs fans have been waiting for.  Today Cubs single game tickets went on sale to the general public and it went pretty good I thought.  I was able to get in quite a bit and get tickets for the games that I wanted without too much trouble.  Grabbed some for my mom as well, so she will be happy as well.

How is everyone else faring in the virtual waiting room?  Remember to open up multiple windows to have better chances of getting selected.

Also, keep checking back here at Chicago Cubs Blog , we will soon be running a contest for some free Cubs Tickets.  The tickets will be in the bleachers and more then likely will be for a pair of tickets.

The day all Cubs Fans take off work, call in sick, or fake some other injury!  Feb 22nd is the day we will all be waiting inside the much hated virtual waiting room trying to get our cubs tickets for the upcoming Cubs season.  That is unless you are in Chicago and get lucky with the wristband drawing. Good luck which ever way you try to get your tickets!

Online orders will begin at 10 A.M. central time, and they will start letting people into the virtual waiting room starting at 9:30 A.M.  You will be able to purchase six tickets for each game, up to 42 total tickets.  Do not go over the limits, or you will more then likely have all them cancelled.

So how do you plan on getting your cubs tickets? At the stadium?  Via telephone? Or the virtual waiting room?  Have any good ticket stories you want to share?  Leave us a comment!

The 2008 Cubs Convention is set to kick off Friday evening with opening ceramonies at 5 P.M.  The roster looks pretty good for current and former Cubs players and coaches.  I really wish I would have been able to attend, but I had to sell my 4 convention tickets and stay at home  Any other Cubs fans going that read the blog?
