I WON TICKETS TO THE CUBS PLAYOFF GAME!!!

A local department store held a drawing as a lure to get buyers in the store. My wife went and filled out a ticket with my name. Last night at bowling, I was paged for a phone call. It was my wife. She excitedly told me that my name was pulled. And, I won 2 box seat tickets for tonight's game. I will be 17 rows from the field, right behind Home Plate. Look for me on TV.

The seats are worth $750 each, on StubHub. Not bad, Huh?

Sell them and buy yourself a few bowling balls grin

Seriously though. If I had box tickets to one of the Sox games, no way I would sell them.

Dennis,
Nice score on the Tickets. Jock you have no idea what cubs fans would pay for those tickets. Dennis make sure you take the L down there unless your going way early. Last time we went it took 2 hours just to drive down Addison.

Yeah, I probably will go early. Parking is about $25, beers $7.50, hotdog $4.50. I have a 40 mile 1-way drive.

These free tickets will still cost me $100.

Just checked StubHub. Tickets are now $850. Club box seats, 5 rows closer, are $2000.00.

In my case (Pirates), I would definitely sell. Then again, I'd probably only get $50 for the pair.

cg, considering the Pirates don't have another game, $50 a pair is a good price.
