    Someone was telling me that the bars around Wrigley were charging cover charges. Anyone know if this is true? Definitely down for Wrigleyville fun next weekend, just don't want to get arrested for piss in in an alley.

    Yeah, it's true. A couple friends of mine were down there and said bars were charging $20 cover to get in at like 3pm. Wrigleyville is going to be a zoo this weekend.
    I was wondering the same...could be more $$$ for world series games..they can basically name a price and those bars will pack it in.

    Yeah I'm not paying cover charges. Don't want my business, I'll go somewhere the fuck else. This is the dumbest business practice for a bar ever! Unless it is to actually see a show & pay the band, there's no need whatsoever for a god damn cover in a bar.

    It is an effective deterrent for less than scrupulous people who would otherwise have free access.

    Gotta pay to play.

    Anyone else still not get their rejection email from the Cubs World Series ticket lottery?

    I'll be there with my grandpa. If anyone wants to try to hold down a table and get some beers before, during, and after the games this weekend at Murphy's let me know. Hopefully we all get drawn for tickets and don't have to worry about it though!

    My uncle and I plan on rolling into town around 11 am Saturday - and our Airbnb is about an 8 min walk to the stadium. Our plan is to eat lunch and dinner at Murphy's - to (hopefully) ensure having a table. If we get one, I'll send you a message on here.

    Still no rejection letter from the Cubs. So they're saying there's a chance......

    Yeah, still no letters. It's literally going to cost me my very last dime this weekend. But I just can't miss it.

    I think half of Chicago is going to try and be at murphys. It's unlikely (unless you spend the night at the front door) that you're getting g a table there.

    My dad and I turned down a couple of wrigley rooftop tickets. Price: $2500 for the pair. That's just insane. For a seat where you'll have to watch on the TV there anyway. I'll settle with Murphy's, barring the miracle it will take to win the drawing.

    Sounds good to me because we won't be able to be down in Wrigleyville until about 2. We'd definitely spring for some drinks.

    I have some Pearl Jam stickers for trade for any World Series tickets. The tickets would have to be lower level though if I'm going to be trading stickers. No upper deck stuff. Let me know. It may take me a while to reply to all the PM's so be patient.

    I still don't get it. I got the email I was not selected for round one but never heard anything for the NLCS or WS. Pisses me off....
