| Albert Almora, Jr. is so excited for the 2018 Cubs Convention |
Hopefully you were one of the lucky ones who was able to secure passes and/or a hotel room package for the event. If not, you're just like me! I was shutout for the first time since I started attending in 1995. So I may or may not see you there...
I got my passes today! (first time ever!) Is that all you need to get into the convention or do they give you tickets as well?
ReplyDeleteThat is all you need to get in but there will be a registration area where you will get a goody bag that usually includes a program with all of the schedules, a calendar, a pull tab for a chance to win an autograph and probably a bunch of coupons. Make sure to register!
ReplyDeleteDo you register under order name? Should I make sure I have my ID for proof?
DeleteIF YOU HAVE YOUR PASSES ALREADY YOU WILL JUST HEAD FOR THE REGISTRATION LINE AND THEY WILL PUNCH YOUR PASSES AND GIVE YOU A NAP SACK WITH CALENDERS, SCHEDULES, A VINE LINE AND THE PROGRAM FOR THE CONVENTION ACTIVITIES. IF YOU DONT HAVE YOUR PASSES YOU WILL NEED TO PICK THEM UP AT THERE WILL CALL DESK AND THEN GO TO REGISTRATION. ENJOY!! ITS A GREAT TIME!
DeleteWhen will the list of attendees be announced?
ReplyDeleteUsually a day or 2 before the convention
DeleteI had a season ticket holder give me his passes because he’s unable to attend. Does anyone know if I Will have to him call and transfer the listing to my name so I can get the season ticket holder wristbands or can I just use his name at check in.
ReplyDeleteThey send the wristbands with the passes if he is a season ticket holder
DeleteI have reservations and 2 passes. Never received them. Called the hotel, they say that I have 2 passes and will probably get them when I resister. I have the email stating that my reservation cones with 2 passes. Does this sound legit?
ReplyDeleteIf you reserve the room at the Sheraton you will get your passes today you check into the hotel
DeleteI was also told the same thing, will get the passes when checking into the hotel. Taking my 8 year old son for his first convention, can't wait!
DeleteYOUR SON WILL LOVE IT...MY DAUGHTER HAS GONE THE LAST SIX YEARS AND SHE IS ONLY 10. SHE GETS JUST AS PUMPED UP AS DADDY DOES!!!
DeleteAwesome! This is our first one too. Do they have memorabilia for sale there? Should I bring the credit cards?
ReplyDeleteYes tons of vendors...it could get expensive.
DeleteHaha tons of vendors not at the Sheraton when they had the convention at the Hilton now that was a Ton of vendors Sheraton is very disorganized gonna have alot of people complaining after the event
DeleteTHEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF MEMORABILIA. ON FRIDAY THEY HAVE A "GRAB BAG ROOM"
ReplyDeleteLAST YEAR IT COST $40.00. BUT IT CAME WITH BOBBLE HEADS, BLANKETS, LAST YEARS
GIVEAWAYS LIKE HATS, COINS, NIGHTLIGHTS. IF YOU CAN GET IN LINE EARLY ENOUGH
YOU CAN GET THOSE. IN THE NEXT ROOM THEY HAVE "MYSTERY BALLS" WHICH HAS AN AUTOGRAPH OF A CURRENT PLAYER, ALUMNI PLAYER OR SOMEONE WHO SANG THE 7TH INNING STRETCH BUT ITS POTLUCK YOU PICK A BOX AND WHATS IN IT IS YOURS. I HAVE GOT A BILLY WILLIAMS, RICK SUTCLIFFE, BILL MADLOCK AND ERNIE BANKS AUTOGRAPHED BALL DOING THIS.. BUT OTHER THAN THAT THERE IS PLENTY OF VENDERS TO PURCHASE GREAT THINGS...
how much will the meet and greets be this year? And is there any certain location they will be in?
ReplyDeleteMeet greet prices depends on what player you want. But if you want BryAnt And Rizzo they camp out all night to register first.
DeleteDo you know how many meet and greets they offer per player typically? Do you have to line up Thursday night to even have a chance at those autographs for Bryant/Rizzo?
DeleteCubs Convention tickets are now available at Mastercard priceless site.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who isn't able to attend and is looking for someone to buy his pass.
