Chicago Cubs Sell Off New Box Seats to Highest Bidder

Author: Adam Fendelman, Category: Business, Sports

The new 70 box seats along the third-base line at Wrigley Field will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. In the past, comparable seats on the right-field side have been sold at a set price.

The auction will involve a corporate sponsor. The exact details of the auction are expected to be announced in a couple weeks. It has not yet been determined if the box seats will be sold on an individual game basis or as a whole season package.

The revenue to be generated from the sale is expected to exceed $1 million and could generate even more funds from the corporate sponsor.
