The Cubs released information today on new ticket options, including a 13-game ticket plan that includes tickets to one home game each against the Yankees, White Sox and Cardinals. Then you pick the next ten out of an assortment that includes less attractive games against juggernauts like the Diamondbacks, Pissburgh, etc. Sports franchises have offered plans like this for decades. Back when the Cubs could actually sell tickets, they didn’t need much promotion like this.
Why is it a 13 game plan? The graphic they included in the promotion features Starlin Castro…the great hope of the Cubs offense, and you guessed it, he wears 13.
However, thanks to our sources within the Cubs organization (hi, Todd!) we have a mockup of their even more ambitious ticket plan that they are holding back in case ticket sales continue to flag.
Feast your eyes on this beauty!
hate to quibble, h-slice, but since Jeet wears #2, I’m not sure the Ricketts are trying to attach anything numerical on their choice of opposition poster boy.
Probably they, like myself, are just creeped out and scared of anything having to do with the Yanks’ #13. Never have gotten used to his purple-y lips.
It’s worse than that. You only get 2 decent games and 11 shit ones.
I’ll be sure to pony up for eight crap weekday games in April so I can get tickets for the Yankees or Meth-heads series…
