    No. The Cubs specifically told me it was because I was selling too many on Stubhub. They can track the sales data on Stubhub since they have a partnership with Stubhub.

    Their interpretation of my activities was that my primary intention was not to use the tickets but to re-sell them, despite the fact that I attended 7 games personally. It seems like it was a purely-discretionary decision on their part. Now, I admit: I resold nearly all of the postseason tickets including the World Series games (used two NLCS tickets personally). I'm wondering if that was their bone of contention since they offered postseason tickets to season ticket holders at a price far below what was being charged on Stubhub.

    Yes, address on the account is Chicago area.

    Yes. They said that their decision was final due to extensive re-selling on the account. I'm contemplating my options at this point. Part of me says to walk away, but another part of me says they may be in violation of the law. It turns out that Illinois is actually not very friendly toward restricting the resale of tickets as long as it's done through a reputable business like Stubhub. See: See 815 ILCS 414: "Any term or condition of the original sale of a ticket to any theater, circus, baseball park, or place of public entertainment or amusement where tickets of admission are sold that purports to limit the terms or conditions of resale of the ticket (including but not limited to the resale price of the ticket) is unenforceable, null, and void..."

    Yeah, because that's how it works..."We'll give you scalper immunity if you find out who the big fish scalpers out there are!" I was trying to look at similarly situated season ticket holders and assess whether I'm being unfairly targeted.

    This is similar to me. Attended probably 8 games. How many seats did you have? And I assume you were allowed to renew?
  7. evanstonian
    If you are selling 90% of your season tickets via Stubhub, I would be very careful since the Cubs can track all Stubhub sales, as in my case. It's different when the Cubs are losing 90+ games and their goal is to simply put arses in seats. They will probably have an article published in Crain's or the Tribune soon about how "tough on scalpers" they are. They like to put that image out there when it's convenient for them.

    No reason given in the e-mail. From Colin Faulkner, VP of Sales and Marketing. Just "we have chosen not to renew your account after careful consideration." I did sell most of them, no question. But I've had these awhile and have lost tons of money some years, as well.

    Did anyone else get a notice this week informing them that the Cubs have cancelled their season tickets? Would be greatly interested in hearing about this.
