Every year I try to get tix to various teams and they say like 9 central, but when I try to get on at that time the tickets will be sold out. Whats the point of even setting a time or even having the waiting rooms if thats the result.

Trust me, this has happened to me a hundred times. It's because so many people want to buy the tickets to sell them to people like us for higher prices. Also, the balparks are small, so they can't make more tickets then there are seats. Plus, teams have many sponsors, who get tickets for free to give them away in contests. And the only tickets left in the waiting room are the $200 ones, and the ones that are "admission only".
Your best bet to buy tickets is EBay, or where I got my Red Sox tickets. www.ticketliquidaitor.com

A certain percentage goes to full season ticket holders (For the White Sox, the lower deck is probably 80% Season Ticket Holders).
A certain percentage goes to partial season ticket holders.
A certain percentage goes to sponsors/corporate.
A certain percentage goes to the team (players, etc).
By the time the tickets go on sale to the general public you're competing not only with all the other fans wanting to buy tickets, but also with ticket brokers who use high tech/shady practices to purchase tickets.
You'll have better luck selecting games versus lower tier opponents.

The waiting room is for fans who can't afford season tickets so they go to a waiting room in hopes of getting tickets to various games.
Popular games go super fast as it is not only internet, but phone, and stadium purchases.
One trick is to call an out of market Ticketmaster to get tickets to a local vendor. AKA Call NC ticket master for Chicago Cubs tickets.
The other issue is that many clubs reward their season ticket base by allowing them to purcahse additional games usually days in advance of the offical public sale of individual games as a way to thank their fan base that can pay for 81 games which I can understand and respect, but since I can't afford season tickets myself,, I don't like.

Season's ticket holders and corporate promotions.
You're referring to single game ticket sales. The others get priority. Be a bit more flexible in your choice(s) of game(s) and you'll be fine.
