This was sent today to...

... all existing season ticket holders, as well as "registered members of cubs.com" (I got two of these, since I'm both).

Some of the games in the "value option" group no longer have bleacher tickets available, though there may be others.

The upshot of all of this is that I'm guessing that the bleachers will be sold out for the entire season by Opening Day.

Got this too and had no

problem getting in and ordering. Bleacher seats were not available for 3 of the games I chose so they put me in Aisle 202, 239 and 409.

Link to promotion: Purchase Your Cubs Starting 9 Ticket Pack Now

This was offered two weeks ago to "members" of the Chicago Cubs Season Ticket Holder Waiting List.

Now it's being offered, still as a "presale," to registered members of the official Chicago Cubs website, CUBS.COM and Season Ticket holders.

"As a valued member of our fan base, we would like to extend to you an exclusive offer to purchase a brand new nine (9) game ticket pack before tickets go on sale to the general public. The Starting 9 Ticket Pack will provide you with an opportunity to select and purchase nine (9) home games from a variety of home game choices."

Because...

... that link isn't password-protected, it basically is open to anyone. They're "officially" opening it to the general public on February 8. Doubt many bleacher seats will be available by then.

These are nice........

except not practical for those of us out-of-staters.

I've never had problems getting tickets when single game tix go on sale, but am worried about this year.........need 12 bleacher seats for each Sat 8/23 & Sun 8/24.

Its never been a problem in the past, but w/ the Sat game being a part of this package, this could put a wrinkle in our plans.

BELIEVE!
