Cubs Single-Game Tickets Go On Sale: How To Buy Your Wrigley Field Seats For 2017 Season

CHICAGO, IL — Single-game tickets for the Chicago Cubs' 2017 home games go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 24. Historically, Wrigley Field tickets have always been hot items, but this year they're especially coveted now that fans can see the Cubs play in the Friendly Confines as defending World Series champions.

Plus, it's not every season the Cubs get to play host to a three-game interleague series with the New York Yankees, a franchise with a history of building championship dynasties that the North Siders hope to emulate. The Yanks and their young squad of Baby Bronx Bombers come to town May 5-7.

"Given the unprecedented demand for our tickets following last year's World Series championship, we urge fans to purchase tickets to their desired dates as early as possible. Many of our popular games are expected to sell quickly," Colin Faulkner, Cubs senior vice president of sales and marketing, said in a statement about tickets earier this month.

So how can you snag single-game tickets Friday? Here's the information you need to have before the sale begins.
