From the April 9, 2017, Chicago Tribune "Cubs fans facing sticker shock" by Kathy Bergen and Patrick O'Connell.
As the Chicago Cubs fans streamed back to Wrigley Field earlier this month, they met with the veritable sticker shock at ticket prices, especially for those prized seats out in the bleachers.
CUBS BLEACHER TICKET PRICES OVER TIME
"The price to be a bleacher bum was only a few bucks a game through the 1980s. Prices, as well as amenities and options, have skyrocketed with the renovation of Wrigley Field and team's success.
"Since 1922, bleacher tickets have varied from a mere flat rate depending on game time, opponent, seat location and other factors. Cub historian Ed Hartig provided the prices for notable years of Cubs history."
Year / Price / In Current Dollars
1918 30 cents $4.84
1932 55 cents $9.78
1938 60 cents $8.12
