Cubs Season Ticket Plans Available
I knew this day would come. Receiving an email titled “Chicago Cubs Season Tickets” from an individual at @cubs.com, I knew what the mail said:
Dear Season Ticket Waiting List Member,
I am happy to inform you…
My number had come up – the Cubs have Season Ticket packages available! This same mechanism is how I became a Bears season ticket holder in the mid-90’s. But that email invitation at a good time, where I was glad to pony up the dollars and could make plenty of games. I only had those tickets for a few years becuase I quickly realized freezing my ass off sitting in Soldier Field was not as desirable as sitting on the couch at home and ordering a pizza at halftime. But I digress.
So apparently there’s been some churn in the season ticket club at Wrigley. Given the economy, I guess that’s not a big surprise. But I will pass and move to the back of the line becuase the time is not right for me to commit to sitting in marginal seats in beautiful, historic Wrigley Field eighty-one times this year. I live in the Western suburbs and of course work a 9-5 job, so there is no way I can manage getting to Wrigley even 40x in a year.

The seating areas I was told were available at this time are Upper Deck Reserved (IF & OF), Upper Deck Box Outfield, and Bleachers. I’m not a bleacher guy, plus its four grand per bleacher ticket so that’s out. Upper reserved are ok, but I prefer to pony up for Dugout Box seats a few days a year. Upper Deck Box are actually among my favorite seats (helllooo Aisle424!) when they are within a couple sections of aisle 420 and within the first row or two. So given seating choices, and the dollars involved (see below), I chose to pass.

Hey thanks for posting. I always wondered how much a season ticket cost. Wow, when u add it up, its a lot of money to get season tickets. May be only for company or corperations so they can give to their clients. Too much for a family guy! But thanks!
Thanks for sharing the info. If you don’t mind me asking how long ago did you sign up for the waiting list?
Sure, no problem. I was asked this on Twitter as well. (follow @ClarkAddison)
I signed on to the Cubs Season Ticket waiting list in the late 90’s – I think 1998 or 1999. I was well back in the line, like number 150,000 or so. Each year I would receive an email or poastcard saying I’m still on the list, but had no indication how close to the front of the line I was.
Then this week, I get a congratulations email but bascially had to decide immediately. And frankly, I just don’t have 8-grand sitting around waiting for the Cubs to call. So I took a pass. Maybe next time..

Odd because the Cubs didn’t even have a waiting list until, I think, 2003.
Ryan – I am pretty certain the Cubs have had a waiting list for season tickets since the 1985 season, although it has obviously cycled through since that time. I’ll reach out to Cubs PR and see if they have an official comment on the matter. Thanks for reading!
