I had some confusion when I bought bleacher tickets online for a Cubs game this year. They forced me to choose the “Tickets@Home” option, because they were bleacher tickets. The poor poor Wrigley Field bleachers. Not only do they get their name changed to “Bud Light Bleachers” this year, but MLB.com is forcing anyone who buys beacher seats online to go through this rig-a-ma-role to get your tickets by printing them at home.
So here’s the advice to you when buying Cubs tickets online:
1) Print out the confirmation page
I took a screenshot of the confirmation page right after I put in my credit card number to buy the tickets. Good thing, because there is a confirmation number on there that I was able to call and get help.
2) Add “[email protected]” to your address book
So your email program won’t think it’s spam. Right after buying your tickets, you will get an email from [email protected] with a link to the website where you can print out your tickets.
3) Print them on thick paper
Now this is not necessary, but it just feels so wimpy to have your tickets printed on regular 24lb copy paper. I have some nice 100lb cover stock that I printed mine on, and now they really FEEL like tickets. Oh yeah!
Good advice, especially #3 about printing your tickets on heavy bond paper. I’ve been doing that for a couple of years because, as you pointed out, tickets on regular printer paper don’t feel as substantial … and when you’re paying buck$ for ticket$ there is just something about having something closer to a real ticket.
Yeah Tom, I saw someone at the game yesterday with flimsy 8.5×11 paper. I felt bad for them with their wimpy tickets.
If the E mail is deleted how do I get to the web site to print my tickets. I did print out the page with the confirmation number. Any help would be appreciated
