In an attempt to cut down on ticket scalping at Wrigley Field the Cubs have declined to renew around 1,000 season tickets belonging to 40 alleged scalpers.
According to Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune the Cubs ?worked with outside sources? to identify the season ticket holders who were scalping in bulk and ?sent them letters Wednesday telling them their accounts have been revoked.?
Jon Greenberg of ESPN Chicago reports that many of the canceled accounts belonged to out-of-state residents identified as professional ticket sellers and ?other big-market teams are plotting similar plans to oust scalpers from their season-ticket rolls.?
The waiting list for Cubs season tickets is 115,000 strong, so they?ll have no problem finding takers and Cubs vice president Julian Green stressed that ?this is about getting as many season tickets in the hands of fans that are interested in and intend to enjoy Cubs baseball at Wrigley Field.?
Normally this is where I?d make some snide remark about how tough it is to enjoy a team that?s lost 101, 91, and 87 games during the past three seasons, but I actually think what the Cubs are doing here sounds like a good thing.
