  I went Friday, and that was by far the worse organized and inefficent planning I have ever seen.
  
  
  
  First, getting in was a total mess. No communication from Fanatics on which lines were which. I was told the Will Call will be same line as the VIP line, then no, then told to go back in the VIP line.
  
  
  
  Then the lines to get tickets were a complete mess. WAY TO SLOW. People standing in lines while the players time slot goes by, and they only moved 5 feet. Plus the ticket lines extended right in line with the access point to the autograph area, which made a real pain to get in by asking people to move.
  
  
  
  Whatever they need to do, they need to make some better changes. People were very disappointed with the way they processed the tickets.

  To many Athletes on friday night squeezed into a small time slot = Disaster. Thats why I stayed away. Looking forward to March.

  I attended Saturday and Friday, which was chaotic because of the Cubs in attendance. I was told by a Fanatics team member they used a new ticketing system, which was suppose to streamline the process. Obviously the new ticket process back-fired. Fanatics needs better crowd control near the entrance of the bullpen for signatures. I still don't understand people that gather near the entrance and there's NO path for others to enter. COMMON SENSE: move towards the entrance when your number is called. SIMPLE. Overall, I thought it was a great regardless of the cancelations and limited football athletes in attendance. I met one of my childhood football idols, The BOZ... incredible experience... extremely nice guy.

  Totally agree! I see this at a lot of shows (the GTSM Football Shows come to mind) and it's just frustrating.

  Just got back my miracle on ice jersey . Very pleased . I now have every member of 1980 team on it including the assistant coach . Not gonna lie was a little worried about doing mail order since I do everything in person but it worked out and if I do it again in the future i have no qualms about using fanatics again .
