2010 Cubs Promotional Schedule

by Al Yellon on Jan 16, 2010 4:26 PM CST

I will get a more complete post about the convention's second day up shortly. I have had a number of requests for the 2010 promotional schedule.

Here's what I have -- this is from the pocket schedule passed out at the convention. It doesn't appear to be complete -- I suspect some more dates will be added later. Follow me past the jump for the promo schedule.

As noted above, this is probably not a complete list; they'll almost certainly add to it later (maybe with scratchoff cards for better items like bobbleheads). If it says "adults" below, that means 21 or over, which means it's a beer company sponsor.

Mon 4/12 (Brewers) -- magnet schedule (1st 30,000 adults)
Wed 4/14 (Brewers) -- magnet schedule (1st 30,000 adults)
Fri 4/16 (Astros) -- Cubs cup/tumbler (1st 10,000 adults)
Sat 4/17 (Astros) -- Cubs knit cap (1st 10,000 adults)
Sun 4/18 (Astros) -- Cubs winter scarf (1st 10,000 fans)
Thu 4/29 (D'backs) -- Cubs drawstring bag (1st 10,000 fans)
Sat 5/15 (Pirates) -- Build-a-bear (1st 5,000 kids)
Sun 5/16 (Pirates) -- Cubs camouflage cap (1st 10,000 adults)
Wed 5/26 (Dodgers) -- Cubs water bottle (1st 10,000 fans)
Fri 5/28 (Cardinals) -- Cubs washed cap (1st 10,000 adults)

The Cubs need Oprah as the promotional head.

Forget all that other stuff. I gotta believe.

I'm guessing that's the back to school

promo they offer every year.

Hey, it's a new century!

Except usually those are for kids only.

This one isn’t.

It's funny that the just for kids promo stuff

are the giveaways that I’d really like to have!

I’d love to have one of the bears or dolls they give out every year. And every girl could use a Cubs lunchbox!

Heck, I bet the little boy in all you gents would like a batting helmet!

What? No Milton Bradley Bobblehead Day?

by TJ11 on Jan 16, 2010 5:25 PM CST reply actions

Maybe they'll have that when the Cubs go to Seattle.

Hmm. Wonder how far you can THROW a bobblehead... ;)

Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...

I'd be really disappointed if you need a scratch-off for a bobblehead

In 2009 they had (I believe) 4 BBH games – first 10,000 fans, I think. Scratch-offs if they have ’em should be for expensive things like hand-autographed balls, replica jerseys, etc.

Also, in the past the American Girl prize was for the first X,000 girls, not “kids”. When my younger daughter as 12 and 13 she made out like a bandit – she’d get the American Girl swag (she has the dolls) but she looked older and would also get the “14 and up” prizes like Precious Moments figurines. At 13 we brought her passport along to American Girl day, to have proof of age, because we knew the ushers would not believe she was only 13.

I always felt bad

when I was littler because I could still get the kids-only promos when I was 14 and 15.

That could be nasty depending on where you have to scratch...

Where are the bobbleheads?

Or scratch off days.

I really hope this is incomplete

Because the promo schedule seems very week compared to the last few years, when we’ve had bobbleheads, HOF plaques, no-hitter statues, etc. I really enjoy the cool collectible items, but there’s not much in this schedule to be excited about.

Stuff

Was this taken off of the pocket schedules handed out this weekend? If so that is probably all of the promos.

by chicagodave on Jan 17, 2010 8:41 PM CST up reply actions

Yes, that's where I got it.

Where do you get the idea that this is it? The Cubs have often added promos after the convention pocket schedules were handed out.

OK

I thought those were set in stone as the only dates. I would hope they would add more since that isn’t close to what they normally have.

I don't know what you guys are all complaining about...

I’m absolutely GEEKED for the Cubs rally towel!!!

No floppy hats this year?

Come visit me inside Wrigley along the Addison side mezzanine fence straight up from 1st base.

Probably one with a stars-and-stripes motif in the "C".

They’ve done this before.

Ahhh. A preview of the $30 Grab Bags for the 2011 Cubs Convention...

Get ’em while you can!

Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...

I had considered buying the Grab Bag

on Friday but decided to wait around and see what other kind of merchandise was available before I spent $30 right off the bat. Turns out they lowered the price of them to $20 on Saturday. They were supposed to have autograph stuff in them, which maybe they took out when they lowered the price because I didn’t get any. But I did get a Fergie/Maddux commemorative #31 retirement poster, which made the bag worth it.

by cubbiebluekdawg on Jan 18, 2010 3:42 PM CST up reply actions

some had autographed stuff

but nobody in my group got an autograph worth getting excited about. I just kept reminding myself that the money was going to a good cause, because my bag was pretty bad.
