Random Cubs Musings

Found this from 2007...

A pair of seats five rows behind the first base dugout at Wrigley for one World Series game have already sold for $6,000 each, already topping the highest price for a ticket sold on StubHub to last year's World Series-- $5,883 each for four seats in row B behind home plate for Game 3 in St. Louis.

 

Doesn't say which home game, though.

 

I'd be interested in seeing what WS tickets were going for on the secondary market in 03. Weren't some Yankees/Cubs tickets in the regular season going for over a thousand?

[SouthSideRyan]

I assume that's what they did. With projected valuations that's as good as an indicator as any.

 

How? I'm not going to pay 20% of full market value so I can be a silent stockholder.

Market Cap for any public company is based on the current trading price multiplied by shares (of the appropriate type) outstanding.

 

Sports franchises aren't US Steel. Owning 50%+1 share of the Cubs is worth a hell of a lot more than two times as much as owning 25%.

I think $1000 for SRO for a potential clincher at Wrigley is too low. I have been trying to buy tickets here in KC for the Series and finally bought some last night for Game 6 for $326 (actual seats) when the market bottomed out. However, very few SRO tickets sold for under $500 to Games 1 and 2 here.

 

I think we will be blown away by the prices if the Cubs have a potential clincher at home. $1500+ to get in.

If the Cubs were to have a WS clincher at home, I would think SRO would be at least $2500. All those retired blue hairs from Iowa have money. Hopefully we find out within the next 4 years.

I really was hoping he'd call him "Lucas" or something in the follow up tweet

Cubs open at 50-1 to win the WS next year on Bovada.

 

I am going to be in Vegas tomorrow. I wonder if they'll be in the same neighborhood.

Check out vegasinsiders, Cubs are at 25-1 as of this morning(I cant check at work, firewall) they are in line with most of the strip hotels. Shop around, some might be closer to 50-1.

Levine saying the Cubs should have 60-65M to spend this offseason.

 

Where would that put overall payroll with some arby estimates?

60-65M from what starting point?

Ha.

 

He didn't specify, but let's pretend he meant to spend in free agency, not on free agents and retaining arb eligible players.

Oh man I totally read right past that when I saw this yesterday and thought it was just a bro love thing.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is.

I have roughly 55 million for 14 players with arb estimates, though that could be driven down if they buyout Sweeney, non-tender Wood, etc.

Are we the Dodgers yet

Well yea but now it's like a silly HS cliche in a movie where the star QB calls the secretly hot nerdy girl with glasses by the wrong name and she's still smitten.

Its a cliche that is so true though. No chance Jay Cutler even knows Kristen Cavalleri's middle name.

Thank you Mr. Arguello.

That's why I said, "Ha," doofus

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I don't think this office could find $60m worth of free agents they'd want in an offseason under this CBA.

Lester, Scherzer and Martin probably get close to that
