Cubs release details for tickets to playoff games

By Kyle Thele

Cubs fans don’t need to be reminded of how long it’s been since the team’s last World Series. They also haven’t forgotten how long it’s been since a trip to the playoffs.

For those fans, Thursday was an exciting night.

The Cubs released details on possible playoff tickets and sent an invoice to season ticket holders for the playoffs.

Got my season ticket holder invoice today from the #Cubs . May cost me a couple bucks but it is glorious to think about playoff baseball!

Tickets aren’t cheap, but as Crain’s Chicago notes, the prices will only go higher for those without season tickets.

Having the first crack at purchasing postseason tickets has been a key reason many Cubs fans have hung onto their season tickets while the team has struggled through an overhaul of its baseball operation the past three years. These prices are cheaper per game than what fans will pay for single-game tickets, and likely far cheaper than what buyers may end up paying on the secondary market if the Cubs find themselves playing in October.

Fans get a chance to not only look at first round ticket options, but all the way to the World Series.

The Cubs currently sit in the second Wild Card spot, three games ahead of the San Francisco Giants.

They still sit nine games behind the first place Cardinals in the N.L. Central.

Illinois wetlands deserve protection. Lawmakers should make that happen, while there is still time.

State lawmakers can pass legislation that would restore the safeguards the U.S. Supreme Court removed last year on wetlands, which play a key role in helping to mitigate the impact of climate change and are critical habitats for birds, insects, mammals and amphibians.

Watch and learn: Chicago Palestine Film Festival aims to entertain, educate

Not all filmmakers participating in the 15-day event are of Palestinian descent, but their art reclaims and champions narratives that have been defiled by those who have a Pavlovian tendency to think terrorists — not innocent civilians — when they visualize Palestinian men, women and children.
