How to Get Tickets to Chicago Cubs Games at Wrigley Field

By Andrew Smith

  • Overview

    The Chicago Cubs are one of the most beloved franchises in all of Major League Baseball. The Cubs also happen to play in arguably the most historic ballpark in the league, Wrigley Field. For both of these reasons, obtaining tickets to a Chicago Cubs home game can be extremely difficult, unless you have season tickets. There are several different options to pursue, though, if you want single-game tickets to a Cubs game at Wrigley Field.
    • Step 1

      Buy Chicago Cubs tickets on Stub Hub, the "Official Fan-to-Fan Marketplace of Major League Baseball." Click the "MLB Baseball" link on the left side of the Stub Hub homepage. Find and click the "Chicago Cubs Tickets" link on the next page. From there, you will be able to search for and purchase Chicago Cubs tickets for every home game. Click on the "Buy" link next to the game you want to attend, to find and buy tickets for that game.
    • Step 2

      Find Chicago Cubs tickets on Tickets Now. Tickets Now is an online ticket marketplace run by Ticketmaster. Scroll through the list of Chicago Cubs tickets, paying special attention to the "Where" column: Make sure it says "Wrigley Field." When you find a game you would like to attend, click the "View Tickets" tab next to that game. Browse the tickets on the next page and click the "Buy" tab to make a purchase.


    • Step 3

      Look for tickets on the Best Seats Chicago website. This company has been servicing the Chicago area with tickets to Cubs and Bulls games since 1985. Once you log onto the website, you can search for tickets by clicking on the "month" links near the top of the screen. Click the link; a long list of tickets will appear. Scroll down until you find the game you want to attend. Click the "View" tab to the right of that game; you will be taken to a page with tickets for that game. Click the "Buy" tab to get the tickets you want.
    • Step 4

      Contact the Wrigley Field ticket office roughly 1 hour before the game begins. A small amount of extra tickets is often released by the Cubs organization right before the first pitch of a home game. These seats will be standing room only, and there is no guarantee that tickets will be available for the game you want to see. It doesn't hurt to call the ticket office, though, if you're in the Chicago area on game day.
    • Skill: Easy
    • Tip: Look for Cubs tickets on these websites a few days before the game. This will ensure that you will be able to get the best tickets possible and do so at a reasonable price.
    • Warning:
    • Beware of other websites that claim to sell Chicago Cubs tickets. Often, these sites either sell counterfeit tickets or will not actually have tickets to the game you want to attend, even if that game is listed on the website. Only purchase tickets from websites that offer a 100 percent money-back guarantee (such as the websites mentioned in this article).
