Cubs reducing ticket prices for 2013 (a little bit)

[Sammy Sofa]

More night games is ALWAYS the right choice.

45 letters and 1,000 available tickets. What am I missing?

I like that they are doing this...

The Cubs sent out 45 nonrenewal letters to a select group of season-ticket holders Wednesday, noting that season tickets "are a revocable license granted on a yearly basis at the sole discretion of the team."

 

The Cubs feel confident their research in trying to identify potential scalpers is correct, and only professional ticket sellers, many of whom have out of state addresses, were affected, according to one Cubs source, who said: "This is about the guy in California with 40 tickets."

 

Green said the team has gotten feedback from ticket holders who received the email Wednesday. The team expects these letters to be challenged, but they fall back on the language in season-ticket agreements that gives them the right to revoke ticket rights.

 

About 1,000 tickets will be made available to fans on the season-ticket waiting list and possibly for upgrades for current season-ticket holders.

 

Glad they didn't come after the guy who currently lives in KC and has 2 tickets because he didn't want to go back to the end of the line.

Or the guy in SF :)

How many teams would kill to have the luxury to just cut 45 of their season ticket holders knowing that they will easily have 45 more willing to fill them, even after the team went 61-101 the previous year?

WOO HOO! Getting closer.

whichever teams have season ticket waiting lists with tens of thousands of people on them

I wonder when they'll update the waiting list number. I'm at 4029 now.

I just checked mine, and I'm at 15003. I signed up sometime around 03-04, IIRC. How much did you move up in the last year?

I was at 10,019 on 12/29/11.

Fact: Cubs season ticket waiting list was at 120,575 this morning, longer than Bozo's Circus waiting list, I think.

That is so weird, because I actually corrected the same mistake in an email, and I still did it here like an idiot.

I must have signed up just before you, because as of now I'm 14,930 or something like that.
