Well Chicago, there's some good news and some bad news. I'll start with the bad news because I'm an optimist and I like ending on good news. I'm also a White Sox fan so I'm going to have to be as positive about this season as I can be because I don't think it'll be pretty.
The Bad News
The gem of Chicago baseball, the 2016 World Series Champion Chicago Cubs, will have the highest ticket prices out of Major League Baseball with an average price of $150.63. Woah, even pricier than the Bankees? Sorry I meant Yankees. The prices are based on the average price of tickets purchased so far in the secondary market. So, if you're looking into going to a Cubs game this summer, be prepared to drop anywhere between $100 and $150 for a ticket, and then $30-$60 for beer, of course.
But, like any great Chicagoan, you know a guy. You'll be able to get the hookup for tickets because you helped someone move, got them a job, or took a bullet for them (figuratively or literally). If you're thinking of getting season tickets, good luck. Many sources on Reddit state that the waitlist can be over 5 years and probably closer to 10 after the recent success of the Cubs.
The Good News
You can snag a great deal for White Sox tickets. If you want to see MLB baseball on 35th Street in Bronzeville, you'll pay on average $30.26 for a ticket. With my Dad having season tickets, this doesn't really effect me unless I want to go a game with friends. But, $30.26 for a solid seat at Guaranteed Rate Field (Don't even get me started on that name) is a good deal. But let's be honest, if you want Sox tickets, just go to their website and get upper deck seats for $15.00. You'll pay the same amount for beer as you would at Wrigley, but you might want to drink even more due to the "rebuilding" that the Sox are going through right now. Looks like the Sox ticket prices will truly be the guaranteed lowest rate.
If I were you, I'd go to a Sox game and save some money, but that's just my opinion.
