Frequently Asked Questions
How much did Cubs season ticket prices increase for 2025?
Cubs season ticket holders are seeing price increases of more than 5% for the 2025 season. The Cubs sent out renewal invoices on Thursday that were not well received by fans.
Why are Cubs ticket prices going up even though they have other revenue streams?
Despite having multiple revenue sources like Wrigley events, their own TV network, and year-round attractions like Wrigley Wonderland, the Cubs say they need the increased ticket revenue. Owner Tom Ricketts has stated they need to increase revenue streams to spend more on the team after covering operating costs.
Are Cubs fans paying for games they can't attend in 2025?
Yes, the price hike is partly linked to the Cubs losing two home games because they're playing in Tokyo, Japan to start the 2025 season. Season ticket holders are essentially paying for games they won't be able to attend in person unless they travel to Japan.
What events does Wrigley Field host besides Cubs games?
Wrigley Field hosts concerts and shows during summer, stadium tours when the team is away, and Wrigley Wonderland in winter where fans can walk on the field with amusements and refreshments. The NHL Winter Classic between the Blackhawks and Blues will also be played there, followed by college hockey games.
Have the Cubs made the playoffs recently?
The Cubs are on the brink of missing the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. This makes the ticket price increases even more frustrating for fans who aren't seeing playoff baseball despite paying premium prices.
