I can\u2019t imagine many people wanting to buy spring tickets in January if the lockout is still ongoing \u2014 which is likely \u2014 not knowing whether games will be rescheduled or even cancelled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Cubs aren\u2019t the only team doing this, either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">In addition, the Cubs are putting weekend passes for the annual Cubs Convention on sale at 12 noon today, with a presale for season ticket holders at 10 a.m. CT. In the press release announcing this sale, the Cubs said that fans \u201ccan attend panels, autograph sessions and meet and greets featuring current and former Cubs players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Obviously, if the lockout is ongoing at CubsCon time (Jan. 15-17), no current Cubs players will be able to attend. At this time it appears the Cubs are going ahead with plans to hold CubsCon even if that\u2019s the case. Will fans still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedcubbieblue.com\/chicago-cubs-analysis\/205616\/cubs-need-to-move-annual-convention-out-of-sheraton\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">overcrowd the Sheraton Grand<\/a> if it\u2019s only broadcasters, former Cubs and minor leaguers not on the 40-man roster in attendance? (And a reminder to anyone planning on going \u2014 read that linked article to remind yourselves of some of the issues regarding overcrowding last year.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Anyway, all of this has to be considered up in the air because of the upcoming lockout. As always, we await developments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In normal years, the Cubs would put single-game Spring Training tickets on sale in early January.
