There is nothing more Chicagoan than to take in a Chicago Cubs ballgame when in the city. But how do you score some great seats? Below we present 10 easy ways to score Chicago Cubs tickets.
10. Box Office – If you arrive early enough and its not a big game, you can easily score some same day tickets at the Cubs Box Office.
9. Friends - Ask your social network – call, email, text, telegram or hit Facebook, Myspace and Twitter – and let your peeps, followers, and facebookers know you have an ABP out on a pair of Cubbies tickets. Someone might have tickets they can’t use. (hey, you never know)
8. Enter a Contest – Type in Google “chicago cubs tickets giveaway” or “chicago cubs tickets contest” – if there’s a blogger out there hosting a ticket freebie, it should come up in search results. Enter and you might score some (free tickets). WeeHoo!!!
6. Stub Hub – an established online ticket broker with a massive ticket inventory, and if you have some tickets you want to sell – there is also a marketplace here where customers can buy or sell. Nice site!
5. Cubs.MLB.com – this is the official Cubs ticket site, you’ll find lots of extras here such as a roster of game dates, player info, Chicago Cubs merchandise and loads more. A must visit by any true Cubbies fan.
4. Tickets Now – another reputable online ticket broker who has good seats on a variety of dates. Worth a try.
3. eBay – The grand-daddy of all online marketplaces, eBay has sport tickets as well. Search by zip code, price, Buy It Now, or ending soon – this is another great avenue for easy tickets.
2. Chicago Craigslist – This could have easily made it as the top method to easily score some tickets – but it will have to sit in the number 2 spot for now. Day or night this place is open for you to browse and see what is up for grabs. Be sure to look at the “tickets” and “sporting” sections, under the FOR SALE category. You will easily find Cubs listings here.
And the number 1 easy method to score some Chicago Cubs tickets is:
1. Scalpers – Yes! In time of desperation and need, these punks will have the goods. We’re not endorsing or encouraging the use of scalpers, simply letting you know that this is a method some people use to EASILY score some Cubs tickets. I said easy – not cheap! You will pay a premium here. But to avoid having to go this route (and paying through the nose) – search early, a/k/a don’t wait till the last minute.
Hope you find some great seats! (like the fellas below)
