No ticket, no admittance

Ronnie Wickers, 75, is a longtime Chicago Cubs fan and shows up for almost every home game at Wrigley Field in the bleachers and does his signature cheer, “Cubs, woo. Cubs woo.”

However, the Cubs were not in the mood of cutting their loyal fan some slack.

On April 19, he said he was targeted by Cubs security and kicked out of the bleachers. The reason, according to the Cubs, Wickers didn’t have a ticket.

“They said they have an order from their supervisor that each time I come to the ballgame they have to see my ticket,” Wicker said.

Wickers says he came in with a friend who had two $25 bleacher seats — electronic tickets — on his phone

“I came through these bleacher gates, I scanned, came in with a with a friend of mine. It was on a scan ticket, you know.”

Janet Tabit, a friend of Wicker’s said, “I was called over and I wanted to know why, I said, ‘Has Ronnie done anything?’”

Wickers’ friend says she was in the bleachers at the time.

The Cubs say Wickers tried to sneak into the game, and that’s why they checked for his ticket.

“I did not try to sneak into the ballpark. I came in those gates like any other fan,” Wickers said.

When asked for the ticket, Wickers’ friend could not call it up on his smartphone, and the reportedly exchanged heated words with the Wrigley Field security staff. Both the friend and Wickers were escorted out.

Cubs spokesman Julian Green said, “He wasn’t kicked out. If you don’t have a ticket that’s trespassing. If you refuse to show a ticket when asked and then curse out our staff, then that’s a violation of our code of conduct — and a direct invitation to exit the ballpark.”

Wickers is still a fan and wants an apology.

But without a ticket, there’s no admittance to the ballpark.
