Maybe this will finally put an end to the asinine trope that Wrigley Field always sells out no matter what. That hasn’t been true for a while now and the team’s latest move proves it, not that it’ll make a difference to the folks who repeatedly claim that’s why Tom Ricketts won’t spend on free agents. After several years of highly suspect manipulation of the season ticket waiting list — remember when you were like 36,569th in line and got a message that you were eligible to purchase? — the line has been eliminated.
The Cubs announced Monday that the waiting list has been cleared and fans can purchase season tickets immediately.
