Mathew Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Me and 2 friends are driving back to Canmore from Buffalo starting May 19 and we figured we'd try to catch some ball games on the way home. I am pushing to get to the hump dome in Minny to see the Sox there on about the 23rd, but my friends want to see the Flubs in Chicago (Sox are away) on the 20th/21st ish. I'm wondering if we should bother trying to get tickets or if it costs too much. Or what is the best way to try to get tickets? We will be checking the schedule for Brewers, Toons,Tigers ect. but I think there isn't much. mny advice would be awesome, I'll cheer loud for the visitors all week.

The Critic Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Seriously, they've just about sold out EVERY game for the entire season....except for the tickets they reserve for their in-house scalping outfit. You'd honestly have to get tickets from a broker (scalper) for any game. Your only other hope would be to check either online or by calling the box office a few days before the game you want to see, just in case a previous buyer's credit turned out to be crap. Good luck getting tickets...............and good luck getting away from the Deadly Confines afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochpuppy Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Are you kidding?!? The Cubs don't sell tickets to real baseball fans. As far as getting to the Dome, you should have no problems with tickets. The last couple of years, even with the Twins doing well, I've been able to get seats behind home plate the day of the game. Plus, it's the cheapest ticket you'll find. Try not to get seats anywhere outside the infield. This stadium's seats are positioned for football and you'll get a kink in your next trying to watch the action down the left and right field lines.

Texsox Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Gee, Cubs sold out for every game. With everyone watching there, I wonder why the media covers them more than the Sox and their 10,000 at the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 It will cost you up the ass to get them. Ticket prices for the Cubs are insane. Now if you wait until September they will be giving them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Another option I just thought of: Hang around outside the Deadly Confines ( watch out for turning SUVs ) and once the game starts, the price of the "brokers" tickets will begin to plummet quickly. If you can stand to miss ShamME's first at-bat, the price will have dropped significantly by that time. Hope that helps somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's too much the other two can go pay the ransom and I can go to a bar.(Hopefully one I don't get shot in) We might try to get em' late like you suggested, I think it's more the touristy thing than the actual game so we could go late if it came to that. Maybe I'll just make them go watch the independant league team and get twice as drunk for half the price. Thanks for the advice all. Mooch, I might need to lean on ya for Minnesota accomadation advice closer to the time if you don't mind. Or if you could get to the game or out for some soda's that'd be sweet too.
