Cubs to sell single-game tickets March 8
The Chicago Cubs have announced the details for purchasing single-game tickets for the 2013 season.
“Cubs fans will once again have a variety of options to secure their must-have tickets for the upcoming season,” said Colin Faulkner, vice president of sales and partnerships, Chicago Cubs. “We encourage fans looking for advance selection and no online service fees to attend our final two-hour on-sale event at Wrigley Field. Given our planned restoration schedule at Wrigley Field and fans’ increased use of online ticket purchasing, we don’t anticipate offering this advance in-person purchase opportunity moving forward.”
Here are the details for purchasing tickets in person, online, by phone or through pre-sale advance:
In person: Single-game tickets go on sale at the Wrigley Field Ticket Office Friday, March 8, at 8 a.m., two hours before online and phone sales begin. This year marks the final offering of the two-hour on-sale event at Wrigley Field. Fans interested in purchasing tickets in person at the Wrigley Field Ticket Office March 8 before 10 a.m. must participate in a mandatory wristband procedure. Wristbands will be available on a first-come, first-served basis Sunday, March 3, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Monday, March 4, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., at the Captain Morgan Club on the corner of Addison Street and Sheffield Avenue. The winning numbers will be chosen two days in advance of the on-sale date so fans can plan to be at Wrigley Field for Friday’s general on-sale event. Winning numbers will be announced on WGN Radio (720 AM) and www.cubs.com Wednesday, March 6, at 8 a.m. Winners of the wristband drawing will be able to purchase single game tickets in person at Wrigley Field that Friday starting at 8 a.m., two hours before online and phone purchases begin.
