If you're on the Cubs Season Ticket waitlist, you probably received an email this morning from the Cubs with good news. According to the email, the Cubs offered 2,600 new season tickets this year, so we can expect our waitlist numbers to decrease by that many. Additionally, the email indicated our wait list number would be updated soon.
If you're a super-diligent reader of this blog (Hi, Mom), you may recall that I periodically update readers on my season ticket waitlist progress. (e.g. Here.)
Well, here's another update. If you're a season ticket holder, please feel free to add your info in the comments.
Date I joined the Cubs Season Ticket Waitlist: October 3, 2006. I believe my initial position was 15,029.
As of February 13, 2007, I was still 15,029.
As of June 12, 2008, I was #14,964 (+65 spots)
As of July 1, 2009 I was still #14,964
And today, April 1, 2010, I was #14,857 (+107 spots)
In total, I've moved up 172 spots in 4 offseasons, so it looks like the Cubs' non-renewal rate is about 43 season tickets/year. If you take a one-time 2,600 jump, I'd be at 12,257. At the current non-renewal rate, my lucky number should come up in 285 years.
Now, I'm no statistics whizz, but the odds of me living another 285 years are a little bit less than the Cubs chances of winning a World Series in the next 285 years. (Bodog: Providing MLB Betting Odds since Al Gore invented the internet.)
What number are you on the list, do you think you'll ever get to have Cubs season tickets?
