Cubs announce single game ticket sale dates
From the Chicago Cubs:
The Chicago Cubs today announced details for purchasing single game tickets for the 2017 season. Single game tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 24, at 10 a.m. CST, and will be available on cubs.com or by calling 800-THE-CUBS (800–843–2827).
Fans may once again participate in the online Mastercard® Presale prior to the general on-sale date. Starting Tuesday, Feb. 21, at noon CST, single game tickets will be available at cubs.com for a 20 percent premium, or a 15 percent premium for fans using a Mastercard.
“Given the unprecedented demand for our tickets following last year’s World Series championship, we urge fans to purchase tickets to their desired dates as early as possible. Many of our popular games are expected to sell quickly,” said Colin Faulkner, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Chicago Cubs. “This year, as we continue to improve convenience for our fans, we are pleased to offer mobile ticketing as a secure, instant delivery option when purchasing tickets for the 2017 season.”
Tickets for each regular season home game are available for purchase during the Mastercard Presale and general on-sale, including the Home Opener vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers, summer holiday games, Kids Sundays, rivalry contests with the Chicago White Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals, as well as Interleague matchups with rare visits from the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays.
Beginning this year, the Cubs are offering mobile ticketing through the MLB.com Ballpark app as the instant delivery option for fans and have eliminated the print-at-home method. Mobile ticketing is convenient for many fans who carry their smartphone everywhere, and the MLB.com Ballpark app is free to download and use with an MLB.com account. Fans still have the choice to receive hard copy tickets in the mail or at Will Call when purchasing their tickets at cubs.com. More details about Cubs mobile ticketing, including a video tutorial and detailed FAQ section, can be found at cubs.com/ballparkapp.
Details for each single game purchasing option follow:
