Hi, I'm looking to go to sunday's game, and notice theyre about $60 for the worst seats in the house. Is it typically best to wait until just before the game to get them on stubhub, or try to get them from a scalper outside the park?

thanks for your help-

When I was a kid the grandstand was $1.75. Many of those seats are now called Box seats

It's risky buying out front because of the counterfitters, unless you know who you're buying from. Stub Hub is safer.

If you want affordable Cubs tickets, I'd recommend heavily employing sexual favors in exchange.

Was that around the time they changed the name to Wrigley Field?

Stubhub sold me 2 tix. I show up to the game and the first one the guy scans says it's already been scanned and is in the park. I was like WTF. I pleaded with the guy for a minute and they let me in. Anyone else have that problem with stubhub before?

I have Blackhawk season tix and have sold tickets on Stub Hub many times so I'm pretty familiar with the process. Stub Hub has always been secure in my experience. For that to happen it seems obvious your tix were somehow hacked, I would definitely report this to StubHub. Good job on getting in despite the ticket issue.

Yeah. I opened a ticket with them last night. They're supposed to call me later in the week to discuss. Cubs tix are cheap compared to Bears tickets. If I spent $800 on a couple Bears tickets and I got to the gate and they were like, sorry this one has been used already I'd be pissed and so wouldn't my wife for having to sit in the car for 4 hours while I go in and watch it. lol
