Cubs Exhibition Game Tickets?

by CaughtInTheVines on Feb 11, 2009 10:43 AM EST

Hey, Pinstripers - I'm a visitor from the Bleed Cubbie Blue blog, but do have some Yankee background, having spent most of the 70s in the NYC area rooting for Munson, Hunter, Nettles, Jackson and that great gang. After spending my early youth in Chicago it was big fun to watch a championship team!

Anyway, I wanted to see if anyone has any info on tickets for the Cubs-Yankees preseason exhibition games (especially the Saturday, April 4 game) at the new Stadium - I've been checking yankees.com and it just keeps saying "check back later." Sounds like it would be a pretty cool experience and I figured someone here might have inside knowledge - if so, thanks for sharing.

So much for the 1923 prices!

Thanks for the links, sir…..I know season ticket holders had first crack at these, and presumably they’re selling them off via the resellers; I was hoping there’d be some sort of offering to the general public direct from the team. But maybe that’s over-optimistic on my part.

You still may be in luck...

I heard that there will be tickets available at the Box Office the days of the games that will also be available at 1923 prices…but I’m not positive on that.

Maybe someone else knows more of the details. I hope it works out for you! I wish I could go, but I will still be in school then. :(

Pride, Power, Pinstripes...Go Yankees!
