Im back! pics added! Where is the cheapest place to get Cubs tickets

[milkit1]

awesome, just got tix way up next to the press box but look like good view and only $28 for 2. Do you know the parking situation there? hotel recommendations?

Spring 1977, I was the doc at Wrigley Field during the home games for the players and fans. 8 seat box next to ondeck batter's circle First Base side with concessions....all for free.

Didn't get the same deal for Medical School, however.

Go White Sox lol

Bleachers are the best and most fun seats. Also the cheapest.

wait until about mid-May when they are 10-15 out and a train wreck, then go to Stub Hub and pay 1/2 face value. No lie, this was the case last year, of course not with Cub/Sox or Cards or Red Sox games this year, but pretty much any others should be the same.

Bleachers are the way to go if it's your first time, just lots of fun and really there are very few bad seats at Wrigley because everything is pretty close to the field, they are the friendly confines after-all. Parking stinks, there is no parking unless you pay someone $50 to park in their garage. If you have a hotel, park there and take the L, it drops you off right outside and it's cheap... Anyway, enjoy, I always do.

Cheers,

Oh, and if you go in April, bring a coat, gloves, heavy socks and a scarf, it gets cold. I went to opening day in the late 80's and it snowed just before the game...

This is true, unless you're behind one of the many poles supporting the upper deck and roof. I feel sorry for those suckers on sell-out dates. Other than the poles, Wrigley is the best inside atmosphere and outside with the neighborhood setting. Have fun.

That's funny, yeah, avoid the poles. I went to the 89 NL championship with tickets my dad won on a radio station in Indianapolis and we were lower level, behind a pole. My dad was nice enough to sit behind the pole so I could keep an eye on the game with my left eye, still, one of my favorite days at Wrigley ever, first night playoff game in it's history and Ryno put one out, but Will Clark made for a sad ending...

I hope none of you were stupid enough to pay face value (or over) or get them on Ebay. If u listened to me you were wise, if u didn't, you'll learn.

They are giving tickets away to Cubs games on Stub hub, going from $2.70 a ticket and up

Parking situation? LOL. They have no parking, you'll have to pay $40-$50 to park in an empty lot (if you can find one).

Friends and I come from Northern Indiana, we take the South Shore train into Chicago, and then take the "L" to Wrigley. The few times we've driven, it's been a nightmare traffic and parking wise.

Also, they don't call it the Windy City for nothing, the weather changes in minutes, go buy a cheap throwaway poncho from a discount store to take with you in your pocket in case it decides to rain, and dress warmer than you think you need to.
