Sox, Cubs Raise Ticket Prices

Proof that there is life after football, pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training this week. Thank goodness! Baseball can't get here fast enough in my book.

Fans, however, will need to dig deeper in their pockets to pay for tickets. Both the Cubs and White Sox are raising ticket prices for individual games this season by $2 to $3 dollars per ticket, depending on the seating section.

For the White Sox, it's the price you pay for winning the World Series, drawing larger crowds and breaking attendance records at home. For the Cubs, they just have to pay the salaries of newly acquired players like Alfonso Soriano and Ted Lilly.

Tickets for the Sox home games go on sale to the public this Friday, Feb. 16; Cub tickets go on sale the following Friday, Feb. 23.
