i'm curious to see how many people either do not renew their season tickets this off-season or the ones that are chosen to purchase season tickets pass on the opportunity due to lack of cash or the poor play of the last two seasons. i was chosen back in early 2012 to purchase season tickets and i had to pass because of friends bowing out at the last minute due to other obligations (read: becoming parents). i signed back up on the season ticket waiting list in february 2012 and my new number was 115,359. i checked back earlier this year and my number dropped to 83,859. i wouldn't mind dropping another 31,500 places over the next 2 or 3 seasons to hopefully catch the cubs being successful once again.
