Best Value Tickets (Under $50)

✅ Top Budget Picks with Great Views

• Upper Deck 400s (Sections 426R-431R): Rows 1-7 ($35-$47) - Elevated but straight-on views of home plate. Best value in the ballpark.
• Terrace Reserved (Sections 203-233): Rows 10+ ($33-$49) - Closer to the field but higher angle. Sections 230-233 face the iconic scoreboard.
• Bleachers ($48-$49): General Admission - Lively atmosphere but no seat assignments. Arrive early for best spots.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($50-$100)

• Upper Box 300s (Sections 303L-331R): Rows 1-5 ($50-$66) - Better elevation than 400s with same home plate views.
• Terrace Reserved Front Rows (Sections 204-232): Rows 5-9 ($52-$71) - Significantly better viewing angles than higher rows.
• Bleacher Reserved ($65-$75): GA1 sections - Guaranteed bleacher access with slightly better viewing areas.

Higher Tier Options ($100-$200)

• Field Box 200s (Sections 204-233): Rows 1-4 ($100-$150) - Prime infield views at mid-range prices.
• Lower Box (Sections 112-132): Rows 10+ ($100-$140) - Closest seats to the field in foul territory.
• Club Box (Sections 317R-331R): Rows 1-3 ($100-$200) - Premium amenities with excellent sightlines.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($200+)

• Dugout Box (Sections 1-30): ($200-$400) - Right behind the dugouts with player proximity.
• W Club (Sections THEWCLUB5): ($495-$536) - All-inclusive food/beverage with climate-controlled lounge.
• Makers Mark Barrel Rooms: ($710-$1164) - Ultra-premium all-inclusive experience behind home plate.

View Comparison Key

• Upper Deck (400s): Panoramic views but distant - best for budget-conscious fans
• Terrace Reserved (200s): Steep angle but closer - sections 230-233 have best scoreboard views
• Field Box (200s front rows): Ideal balance of proximity and viewing angle
• Lower Box (100s): Closest to field but can have obstructed views depending on row
• Bleachers: Unique Wrigley experience but sun exposure and limited amenities

Pro Tips for Your Purchase

• For evening games, choose 3rd base side (Sections 208-233) to avoid setting sun in your eyes
• Rows 1-5 in Upper Deck provide cleaner views than higher rows (no walkway traffic)
• Sections 218-233 offer the best combination of price and iconic Wrigley views
• Check for "Limited View" notes - some lower seats have minor obstructions
• Bleacher tickets often drop day-of-game if you're flexible
