CHICAGO TICKETS

Chicago allows licensed ticket brokers to sell tickets outside stadiums.  Chances are you can get whatever tickets you need from these brokers, but you will pay an expensive premium.

Cubs

Cubs tickets are always in high demand, particularly when a rival such as St. Louis is in town.  The Cubs are far more popular than the cross-town White Sox, partially because of historic Wrigley Field.

For most games, tickets are available if you buy them a month or more in advance.  Bleacher seats are harder to come by than grandstand seats.  You can order online at the Cubs website, or call the ticket office at 800-THE-CUBS.

White Sox

White Sox tickets are always available.  The team does not have nearly the following the Cubs enjoy, and their stadium, US Cellular Field, does not hold a candle to Wrigley Field in terms of charm.

To contact the White Sox ticket office, call 312-831-1SOX.

Bears

The Bears play at newly renovated Soldier Field.  The team is sold out on a season-ticket basis, with about 9,000 fans currently on the waiting list for tickets. 

To contact the ticket office, call 847-615-BEAR.

Bulls

The Bulls are a sold-out team, even a few years removed from the glory years of Michael Jordan.  The team averages over 22,000 fans at the 21,711-seat United Center.  A limited number of tickets go on sale in October; beyond that, you will be buying your tickets on the street. 

To contact the team, call 312-455-4000.  To buy Chicago Bulls tickets, click here.

Blackhawks

The Blackhawks generally do not sell out the United Center.  To contact the team, call 312-943-7000.  To order Chicago Blackhawks tickets, click here.

Fire

Tickets are always available for Chicago Fire soccer games at historic Soldier Field.  To order tickets, call TicketMaster at 312-559-1212.

Chicago Wolves (AHL), Chicago Rush (AFL)

Tickets to Wolves and Rush games at Allstate Arena are not a problem, and are inexpensive.  To contact the Wolves, call 800-THE-WOLVES.  To contact the Rush, call 888-682-3434.

Northwestern Wildcats

Northwestern football tickets for games at Ryan Field are not a problem for some games, but sell quickly for many Big Ten opponents such as Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan.  Basketball tickets are never a problem to obtain.

To contact the ticket office, call 847-491-CATS.

DePaul Blue Demons

Tickets for DePaul basketball games are usually available.  The team plays most games at Allstate Arena, but some games against marquee opponents are contested at United Center.  For information, call the school at 800-99D-PAUL.

Illinois Fighting Illini

The University of Illinois is located in Champaign, 135 miles south of Chicago.  Both the Illini football and basketball teams are very popular, but because they play in large venues (Memorial Stadium and Assembly Hall), tickets are usually available.

For tickets, order online here or call 217-333-3470.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Notre Dame football games at Notre Dame Stadium are always sold out.  Basketball tickets are also difficult to obtain for games at the smallish Joyce Center.

To contact the school's ticket office, call 219-631-7356.
