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.



Rickets is a smart business man in that regard, it is a great business move. It's basically a legal bribe and he can get shit he wants from the city for the ballpark

Yup; leaves for a bunch of old ass people in the stands that had 50+ years to save or the super rich who don't need to worry about blowing anywhere from 3-18k on 1 game to a World Series game lol; even taking away the middle/above middle class away such as myself.


Oh well, I'll just join everyone else on the streets for games next weekend @ Wrigley. What I'll end up paying for drinks and hotel accomodations for that weekend won't even come close to what a ticket is to be inside the stadium lol

The most incredible thing about him is his composure; he shows no emotion over anything. It's like he's a zombie when he's on the mound.
