Yeah, pretty dumb. These guys have had 70 years to save though.
It's going to be like a old person convention riddled with millionaires.

No it's the secondary market who has fucked it for everyone. Those tickets cost a fraction of what they are selling for.

But all the alderman and other politicians can get the tickets for face value from the Cubs. Each alderman has the ability to purchase 2 tickets to every game of the playoffs and World Series for face value.

Ticketmaster and all their affiliates have destroyed venue experiences. It's really fucking stupid and a shame.
So I definitely agree with you.

It's the secondary markets fault but they are no different than the idiots standing outside all day prior to game time trying to sell their tickets. A lot of it is just simple economics; supply & demand. Even season ticket holders sell at that mark-up because why wouldn't they if that's what the market is.

I do agree that it's a joke politicians get tickets for face value from the Cubs but that prolly has something to do with what the Rickets agreed to with them.
