How to Buy Chicago Cubs Tickets

Despite their lack of success, the Chicago Cubs are one of the most beloved sports franchises in the country. Practically every game at Wrigley Field is sold out regardless of who the Cubs are playing. You probably won't have any luck walking up to the ticket office at Wrigley, but that doesn't mean you should give up. There are a few websites that offer plenty of Cubs tickets. If those websites fail, you can always buy from a scalper.

      Log onto the Chicago Cubs section of Stub Hub, the “Official Fan to Fan Ticket Marketplace of Major League Baseball.” MLB directs fans who want to sell baseball tickets to the website. Because of this, tickets to every Cubs game (both home and away) can be found on Stub Hub (see Resources below).

      Visit the Chicago Craigslist. Once there, click on the “Tickets” link found in the “For Sale” box. In the tickets section of Craigslist, you will be able to contact people selling Cubs tickets directly.

      Search for tickets on eBay. You will find plenty of scalpers of Chicago Cubs ticket holders looking to get rid of tickets. Because of the auction format of the website, you can actually get a pretty good deal buying Cubs tickets off of eBay.

      Go out to Wrigley Field and look for ticket scalpers. You're bound to run into at least one person with a handful of tickets walking around the ballpark. Normally, ticket sellers will be out an hour before first pitch. The best place to find scalpers, though, is right across the street from the entrance to Wrigley Field. For information on how to deal with scalpers in general, see the Resources section below.

      Call the Wrigley Field ticket office about an hour or so before first pitch. Many times, the Cubs will release a set amount of tickets right before the game begins. These tickets are usually standing room only, and you won't be able to get more than two tickets. This doesn't happen before every game, but if you're in the area, it's worth a phone call.
