Am I missing something, or is there nowhere to purchase the VIP packages yet? All I see is autograph tickets.

I don't see VIP or admission tickets for purchase on there. It states that in order to purchase the $49 tickets for Butkus and Bench you have to buy an admission ticket. I bought tickets for both this morning and didnt have to buy an admission ticket.

I was just thinking of the urlacher bear hug poster of a poster that has singletary, butkus, and urlacher. How is singletary ip now as a coach?

I have a question for those more experienced than I with shows like this. Is there any danger of the non-rollback autograph tickets "selling out"? I mean, is it pretty much guaranteed that I could purchase Fisk, Quentin, Baines, & Alexei Ramirez tickets the day of the show? I don't know what items I want to get signed, if any, at this point. I know I should preorder my Luis Aparicio tickets, due to the rollback pricing.
Thanks,
Doug

Each Player has different maxes so I would purchase them as quick as possible. I know the first time Fisk was in Chicago after the HOF when I got him it was a god damn mad house. I would just try to figure what you want signed ASAP then get tickets. If you wait all the way until that day I would say 85% of the time you are going to be fine. The only guy who always seems to have a large amount of people getting his autograph is Pete Rose. I once watched him sell out of 600 total tickets on a weekend in Chicago. It was odd

Thanks for the info SoBrave.
My only experience to this point was the National in Chicago last year, and I saw a lot of really big names just sitting around for quite a while, signing for the odd straggler. Names like Craig Biggio, Jerome Bettis, Rod Carew, etc.
The main reason I'm concerned this time is I'm interested in all former ChiSox, at a Chicago show. The only big name Sox player I got at the National was Bo Jackson, and his line seemed fairly steady. Guys like Dan Pasqua, Gary Peters, Bob Dernier, etc. spent a lot of time twiddling their thumbs.
I also remember that the TriStar site had a little disclaimer saying that "these autograph tickets will NOT sell out" on every page. I see no such thing at the Schwartz site.

I think you will be fine buying Thursday's tickets that day, but not Friday's. A couple shows ago they had Swisher, Dye, AJ, Konkero and they didn't look to be close to selling out. Admission tickets are now available online.

For those of you that have purchased autograph tickets, what shipping option did you choose? It says that autograph tickets will be available at Will Call... so did you choose local pickup? How about admission tickets, can those be picked up at Will Call as well?

when I wanted them shipped... they refunded my 20 dollars and moved them to will call. My admission tickets and autograph tickets are at will call so you can pick up both admission and autograph tickets at will call.
