matt, when i bought them in march they were:

8/18 - $45 per all-in
8/19 - $60 per all-in

which indicates bleacher have exploded back into popularity and cubs have recognized this by soaking the suckers.

when bleachers are the same cost as infield upper deck box tickets i'll call that a premium.

well, I can rest assured my kids will not be Cub fans as nobody is every going to give us free tickets to Wrigley again.

You can ask whatever you like, doesn't mean value until someone buys it @ said price. I've got a few buddies with season tix for the cell..they ask face, never get it..usually half that.

That's not premium seating.
That's "the whole damn stadium is way more expensive" and I don't want to pay that.

90s visors were the giveaway this past Friday.



Going on eBay for $30!!!! In retrospect shouldn't have worn mine. But it was SUNNY and HOT.

I believe you, 312, but when I go on Stubhub, I never see any lower-deck seats selling for less than face value--even two hours before a game. Annoying.

I once got 1st row behind visitors dugout for a crappy May weather game versus the Tribe for $40. But that was 2 years ago. I wonder if Sox order Stubhub to never allow listings below face.

Cubs have the lameass Stubhub shuts down 6 hours before first pitch. So stupid.

@312, I bought Cubs/Cards for Saturday in August bleachers...$115 with all taxes included. Game is sold out. The market is there.

I'd sell my tix ASAP if i wasn't going with some buddies.

I still wear visors...

face price for a bleacher ticket is $100? That's crazy.

Nah...the bleachers are a better ticket than they used to be...with the refurbishments.

Besides, the Cubs win 75% of their home games. $100 to enjoy some winning Cubs baseball with 41,500 of my closest friends? No problem.

I used to take the L down there and catch any weekday game I wanted for $8. Used to smoke stogies too.

actually maybe it was $6.

ya, it's insanity.

they've marketed the hell outta those damn bleachers.

gimme 400 infield all day for the same price. FAR SUPERIOR.

Check out Hatchetman going on about the "good 'ol days"!

Mets are visiting Jul 18-20.

I like your chances

if you want to really talk old school back in 1966...when I was just out of grade school I would ride my bike to the Skokie Swift and had $2 from mom... the bleachers were 50 cents and the Swift was a quarter... Ray's (now Murphy's) sold hot dogs and soda thru a window since kids weren't allowed inside 75 cents covered the food and drink ... scorecard was 10 cents.... I'd get home after a stop at the Menard and Dempster Pharmacy and spent the change on 5 cent packs of Topps cards.

BY the time was done at Loyola the bleachers sky rocketed to a buck.....
