It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Chicago so Nicole and I planned to grill on our deck before I headed over to the Cubs game. Since we got a late start I knew I would be a few innings late to the game.<\/p>\n
Obtaining Tickets<\/u>
Since I was planning to attend the Cubs game late, I needed to buy a ticket before the game started rather than wait and hope the Cubs were still selling tickets from the box office. If I had planned to get to the game on time, I would have bought a standing room only ticket for $15 (having to enter Wrigley Field immediately after purchase). I walked around Wrigley Field and realized that tickets were going well above face value.<\/p>\n
Since I could not find a cheap ticket, I decided to take the risk and buy a ticket at the box office a few innings after the game began (something I have not done before). However, as I was walking home, a fan had an extra $32 face value seat in which I offered $20. He accepted the offer and I had my ticket.<\/p>\n
