Be very, very careful scalping tickets. At the last minute the vendors will have the same tickets for dirt cheap, and the chances it's an actual ticket increase astronomically. Also, there is a minor chance you wind up wearing handcuffs if you try and buy a ticket on the street.
I have had good luck with the vendors. Just have cash and be prepared to negotiate. I have gotten lots of seats in prime spots for half of face or better. Now, you are going on a Cardinals date, right? You might not have much leverage, there. Yes, to the scalping only at face value or lower. However, I have had friends get sold fake tickets, or buy a group of tickets in a rubber band and the top one is the only one for that day, the other three are for a previous game.
As mentioned, Stub Hub will crater as game time approaches, then disappear. The Padres aren't a huge draw, and there is a decent chance some people bail given the projected high temperatures. 97 degrees tomorrow, that might drive out some of the corporate types that own the seats low down in the bowl. However, 97 might also make you want to consider something in the shade.
Many stadiums sell past game start and I thought the Cubs were only 30 minutes after. Don’t recall exactly though
It was great they got to see a win. How were the boobies today. Wrigley has the best boobie action on hot days. If you are into that kind of thing.
Today makes sense. Joe's loading the lineup with righties against a solid LHP.
