Losses lead to price drop for tickets
The pair of World Series losses for the Chicago Cubs in Games 3 and 4 led to a drop in the asking prices for Game 5.
About 4oe hours before the scheduled start of Sunday night’s game against Cleveland, asking prices on StubHub started at $ 748.
Before Game 3 at Wrigley Field on Friday, the lowest asking price was $ 1,019. The Indians lead the Series 3- 2, needing one win for their first title since 1948.
Atmosphere outside the century- old North Side ballpark also was dampened, with only a few people outside Murphy’s Bleachers rather than a lengthy line.
After a pair of relatively warm days, the temperature had dropped into the low 50s Sunday afternoon with a stiff wind.
The Cubs last won the Series in 1908.
