Wrigley Field bleacher questions

[bucconut]

Hello,

I was able to score bleacher seats for a game this season. I've wanted to get to Wrigley for a while (living in Pennsylvania made it tough), and this is finally going to happen.

I just have a couple questions. First, how early do I need to show up to get a decent seat. And secondly, like in the movie "Bleacher Bums", are there regulars who have "their seats" every game ?

Just curious. Thanks for your insights.

Very early. I don't think they have bleacher regulars anymore since it's changed so much. Used to be the case where you'd show up on game day, early, buy a ticket and get a good one. Now....

It's best to get there right around the time the gates open, which is about 2 hours before game time. From what I can tell there doesn't seem to be any regulars in the same seat for every game. You can't get walk up tickets the way you used to, as Cubbie Mania is at an all-time high.
