Cubs reduce season ticket prices 5.1% for 2023
When the Cubs announced their attendance for 2022, anyone who had seen the smattering of empty seats in Wrigley Field throughout the season wasn't surprised. They'd sold 2,616,780 tickets to home games over the course of the season, their lowest paid attendance in a non-pandemic impacted season since 1997.
Now, the team is lowering season-ticket prices.
The Cubs announced the change on Wednesday, cutting prices by an average of 5.1%. According to senior vice president of Marquee 360 Cale Vennum, who oversees the Cubs' ticketing, all full-season ticket holders will see their ticket prices lower by 2.67% to 6.72%. The largest price cuts are for seats in the terrace, upper level, or bleachers.
"We know that season tickets are a long-term commitment, and our fans have a lot of choice about where they're going to spend their money," Vennum said. "The dynamics are changing in a really competitive market. And so, we hope that by decreasing the ticket prices for next year, it really demonstrates our commitment to the season ticket holders and those are the folks that have ultimately supported us on this journey as we go to build the next great Cubs team."
