CUBS - no question!!! Not sure about stubhub though, or where to get tickets. Ebay, maybe? A lot of people use craigslist but that may be difficult from the UK...

My choice would be the Cubs. We%26#39;e taken the kids to a couple of games at Wrigley in the past and it%26#39;s been wonderful - beautiful and historical field, neat area around it, and well, it%26#39;s the Cubs! Been well worth the 8 hours+ we spend on the road to get there and back :) It%26#39;s really personal preference though - does your son have a liking for one team over the other? Or, would he really want to see a specific team one of them is playing? Also, it%26#39;s always fun to check out the promo giveaways at the different games - my kids have gotten some fun things over the years that way.

I haven%26#39;t gotten Cubs tickets from Stubhub before, but I did use them to get NY Mets tickets a couple years ago when my son%26#39;s baseball team made it to the World Series and we headed to NYC. No problems whatsoever and they often have coupon codes to help with the price. (Not sure what coupons are available now though, sorry).

I should also note that the last time we went to Wrigley (in 2007, I think) there was no problem with taking snacks or drinks along with toys inside a backpack, which was great. I%26#39;m not sure whether that is still allowed, but worth checking into.

Hi Mathewdawn,

I was just reading your post as I am travelling to Chicago in a couple of weeks planning on seeing baseball, and wondered if you had managed to use stubhub or ticketmaster for tickets before?

On previous trips to the states I have been prevented from using these sites as they won%26#39;t take a Credit Card with a UK billing address. I would be interested to know if you had discovered a way to get round this and actually book some tickets.

In other cities it is possible to enter the standing area at the Baseball even if the seats is sold out? Not sure if this is the case with the Cubs or WhiteSox. Can anyone help?

When the seats are sold out, Cub games have standing room only tickets. Also, tickets are sold at the box office on the day of game.

spider03 - check sites like ticketarsenal as well, some of them will sell to UK addresses.

Oh and another vote for the Cubs here :-)

I have just tried to book tickets through stubhub and its telling me that my zip/postal code and state dont match,living in the uk i dont live in a state. So i cant get any tickets, are there any other ways to purchase them....thanks

Hi, have you tried using your bank card to get tickets i.e money straight from your bank account.

There are always cubs tickets for sale...here is the link from Craigslist...but there are all kinds of day of game scaplers and brokers...not sure when you are coming...http://chicago.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=cubs+tickets%26amp;minAsk=min%26amp;maxAsk=max

Full disclosure first, as I%26#39;m a Sox fan, not looking to start a Cubs/Sox discussion. I would plan your trip around the dates that work best for your budget and personal time and get tickets for whichever team is in town at the time. You won%26#39;t go wrong either way. Wrigley is historic, and Sox Park is an underrated park with lots to do for the kids. There are plenty of ticket brokers around Wrigley, and I would imagine that if you%26#39;re staying in a hotel with a concierge desk that you would be able to get help getting tickets. With some exceptions, you should be able to get Sox tickets once you get here, unless you prefer to purchase them in advance. Get the 100, or lower, level if you end up with the Sox, just so you have access to the entire park. Just come and enjoy - if your visit is long enough, go to both!

I had the same bother , but phoned the customer service number and within about five minutes i had spoke to a very helpful advisor and had got the tickets I was looking TO book online ( were for the bulls )
