andy beckersean, you hit that right on the money.
i live in the chicago burbs and worked (vendor) at wrigley when i was younger. that is the ONLY way to buy tickets for cubs games. if they get really hot, you may have to pony up a bit more cash. also weather is a factor in price.
the only thing i would add to what sean said is: drink more and earlier
and then shop the scalpers for the best seats. this means, go to the box office....get a floor plan, then go hit the scalpers. they will be there and normally supply outweighs demand.
