Question about going to a chicago cubs/baseball game

i'm going to order tickets from them, and wanted to know your feedback. and yeah, ticketmaster has no more home cubs games tickets🙁

edit: i just bought 2 tickets for the reds game on 8/12/2004. the seats aren't that great (240 row 23) but i'm happy and i think my dad and I will have a good time at our first baseball game. If i get there an hour earlier, can i bring like baseballs and stuff and get it signed? is that possible? and what are some other stuff i should/can do if i get their early? WAHOO!
 
wow, that is amazing. If I want Brewers tickets, believe me, there is NO shortage. Enjoy having a good team while you can.

you can drink more beer! What else is there to do at a game beside drink beer? Last Cubs game I went to was the playoffs vs. Marlins great fun!

Well, you are talking about the Brewers, here, vs. the Cubs. 😉
 
At a reds game your best bet is to show up as early as you can. BRING A SHARPIE MARKER and whatever you want signed. A baseball is probably your best bet. You can bring a glove hoping to catch foul balls, but there isn't much more of a reason after that. The team usually starts to take the field no later than an hour before the game for warm ups, but some players come out before then to sign autographs, but there is usually a horde of people so you want to try and be at the front of them 🙂 Being polite will give you the best response when a player approaches the fans.


Don't worry about what seats you got... any seat at the Reds' new ballpark is a good seat.
 
Ok, so I checked, no tickets left for the cubs that aren't single tickets.
If I were you, I'd take the Red line there (or purple in your case from Evanston) and drink a lot before the game. Autographs I have no idea.

my seats are pretty close to the foul pole so i should catch some balls. i guess i get there as early as i can. Where do i get autographs?

I always wondered why all the Cubs afternoon home games are packed full. Does noone in Chicago have a job?


Thats what sick days are for... ever see Ferris Buller's day off?

Going to Wrigley is a joy. The area, unlike the area around most ballparks, is incredibly lively and great.

Same goes for Fenway. Went to a Red Sox game once and it was great. Much different then here in SoCal.

Just stand over by the dugouts or near where the players are warming up. If they get a chance they'll come over.

Bullpen works too.
