Ticket Successes and Failures Thread

[J.R.]

There are some awesome tickets available for the Cubs' upcoming series in Cincinnati. They've released several nice sets of Terrace Dugout seats in the first five rows behind the benches for all four games.

 

It's a great spot, and it's usually difficult to get multiples in those sections. $60 a pop.

What should I expect to pay on the street for Saturday's game.

 

And, my daughter is 4 years old - do I need a ticket for her?

 

Do they have SRO tickets?

I'm not sure about street price. For whatever reason, after releasing a ton of great seats for today's game, they haven't released any for the Friday and Saturday games. I'm hoping that changes, though.

 

Kids 2 and under don't need a ticket, so unless you think she can pass for 1 or 2, she will need one.

 

SRO tickets are sold when the box office opens the morning of the game. I don't know how you could manage that with a 4-year-old, though.

 

 

By the way, it's obviously too late now, but they even released dugout and bullpen seats this morning for today's game.

I'm guessing they released a lot of tickets for today's game because it was a makeup game.

 

But yeah, the street value has been low all year. I've been able to consistantly get tickets below face value if you are willing to wait until game time. My friend was even able to get $32 seats for the first Red Sox-Cubs game for $40 by waiting until the game started. I would expect to pay face value or slightly more considering its a Saturday in July and the Cubs have been playing better recently.

Despite my excitement at getting "Dugout" seats to next Wednesday's game vs. Cinci (Row C), it looks like I can't go. I checked e-bay, and similar seats for similar games are going below face value, which is $500 for the pair.

 

Anyone want to make an offer at face value? Otherwise, does anyone know of a charity I can donate to? I may just take the deduction. Thanks!

So...uh...with the cubs sucking and all.....anyone got tickets they want to part with?

I've got 4 each for Wed 24 Aug (Atlanta with Williams pitching) and Wed 31 Aug (Los Angeles & Prior). Both sets are upper deck box, way down the right field line. Not great, but not bad. $38 face value. I would entertain any offers for 2, 3 or even all 4 for either or both games.

Nice tickets are available for Monday night. I just pulled some field boxes behind the plate.

 

Take a swig of Kool-Aid and go.
