The Chicago Cubs are one of the founding franchises of the National League, dating to 1876. After winning back-to-back World Series in 1907 and 1908, the franchise endured the longest championship drought in North American sports history — 108 years — before the 2016 team of Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez, and Jon Lester broke through, beating the Cleveland Indians in a dramatic Game 7. Wrigley Field, opened in 1914, is the second-oldest MLB ballpark: ivy-covered outfield walls, hand-operated scoreboard, and the Friendly Confines of the Lakeview neighborhood.
The cheapest Cubs tickets typically appear on weeknight non-rivalry games — Mondays and Tuesdays against non-conference opponents move at the steepest discount. Upper-bowl and end-zone seats are 40–70% cheaper than centerline lower-bowl, with comparable views of the action. Set a price alert in the resale market — prices commonly drop 15–25% in the final 48 hours before puck/tipoff/first pitch as season-ticket holders release inventory.
Avoid the markup trap: compare the listed face value against secondary marketplace pricing on the day-of. Mid-bowl 200-level seats are the sweet spot for budget-conscious fans — strong sightlines, half the price of premium club seats.
The MLB regular season runs late March through October. Each MLB club plays 162 regular-season games, split between home dates at Wrigley Field and road dates across the league. The Chicago Cubs schedule typically releases in August (prior year), with onsales rolling out city-by-city in the weeks that follow. Playoff and postseason dates are added round-by-round as the bracket clarifies — check this page first when those dates drop, listings refresh every six hours.
The hottest Cubs dates on the MLB calendar are division rivals plus interleague clashes. Rivalry-game inventory at Wrigley Field routinely clears 60–90 days before the first whistle, with the deepest secondary-market premiums on the lower bowl. If a rivalry date is on your wishlist, lock in tickets as soon as the schedule is released — waiting until game week often costs 2–3× the early-onsale price.
