People will be giving away tickets by mid may...I made a vow not to buy any tickets until they win a playoff game after they got swept by Arizona.
Anyone have a snickers bar?????
they will still get 40K tickets sales in there on a sat. they will still get 30K ticket sales on a weekday.
only 10K might show tho. poor sea gulls are going to starve this summer
I know that is the shame..The sales will still be there. I was seing many empties towards the end of last summer which was nice to see.
last year, it seemed attendance started off slow. there were some articles in teh paper about all the empty bleacher seats, but by mid season they were full again.

Stub Hub last year....
You could get bleacher tickets for $10-$20...
There were PLENTY of empty seats last year.....
Granted those tickets were sold....
But people werent going to the games.......
35,000 sold...
Actual attendance 25,000
I went to 2 games last year since I love cold beer in the sun and peanuts but wont pay for a ticket....
Mid summer..craigslist giving away tix in lower level..
September....guy on street gave me 4 tix for free.
I havent been to a game in 3 years.....
When going to a baseball game costs $200 for 2 tickets, and a couple of hot dogs......
Then I no longer need to go to a game....
Fuck em....
i gave away plenty of tickets last year....and threw some in the trash.
they were free to me.
this year, i need to find some cheap tickets...i don't mind going to a game and having a few beers...but like you guys, i won't be buying tickets from the ticket office.
Im sorry...
I cant be a FAN of a General Manager......
Unless he can hit .310 with 25-30 Hrs
Yeah, I guess I can't understand it since I'm not a Cubs fan (thank god). But at least the Cubs are heading in the right direction....much better than what is going on the other side of town.
I like what he did with boston..lets see what he can do with the cubs...but I also expect results now.
See that's the problem. People are gonna have to give Theo time. Hendry basically pissed away anything that was decent in the farm system to get Garza. We have to give Theo time to clean up Hendry's shit storm, and it won't happen over night. That's why I'm already writing off the next 2 years. Play the young guys, let them get experience, hopefully they gel, see what you have and fill in the pieces with free agents in 3-4 years. I expect 90+ loss seasons the next 2 years, hoping in 3 yrs we can be at least a .500 team and then in year 4 be a contender. Anything better in the first 3 years will be icing on the cake.

Dont worry..Theo is implementing the "Cubs Way" and things should be different when your grandkids start going to games....
I know that is the shame..The sales will still be there. I was seing many empties towards the end of last summer which was nice to see.
Give me a fucking break, Theo...
Just tell these assfucks to hit the cutoff man, and maybe try to steal a base once or twice a game....hehehe
The Cubs Way????
100+ years without a championship!!!!!
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
i already thought there was a cubs way.
last year, it seemed attendance started off slow. there were some articles in teh paper about all the empty bleacher seats, but by mid season they were full again.

You're not a fan of Theo?? Cubs are finally doing the right thing and completely rebuilding. Even as a Sox fan, I am so f'n jealous.

the cubs suck, yes, but at least they suck with a plan. the sox just plain suck.
This perfectly sums up the state of Chicago baseball right now.
Yes. Go Blackhawks! Going for 5 wins a row tonight!
Anthony Rizzo with some incredibly long home runs. He has tremendous power.
