SOUTH BEND — Individual-game tickets for the 2017 South Bend Cubs season go on sale at 10 a.m. March 8.

Fans arriving at the South Bend Cubs Box Office early to wait in line will be treated to coffee and doughnuts, plus a special appearance by Stu. Those who come by later in the day will be able to try select concession stand menu items being served this season.

Since Andrew Berlin purchased the club in 2011, the organization has seen an attendance increase every year, skyrocketing to 350,803 fans in 2016. Season ticket sales are already up 20% over last year’s record breaking sales, and for the third time in three years, the April 8 home opener is expected to sell out.

In addition to Opening Day selling out, Hart believes the April 20th game will be another hot ticket as the World Series Trophy will visit Four Winds Field that evening.

Fans who purchase their tickets at the stadium box office on March 8 will also be entered into a drawing for one of six prizes:

• 11 a.m. – Chance to throw out a first pitch
• Noon – Chance to sing the 7th inning stretch at a South Bend Cubs game
• 1 p.m. – Autographed game program and scorecard
• 2 p.m. – Gleyber Torres Bobblehead
• 3 p.m. – 10 tokens to the South Bend Cubs Performance Center
• 4 p.m. – $50 Cubbie Cash

South Bend Cubs individual-game tickets will be available at the South Bend Cubs Box Office between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. by calling (574) 235-9988 or online at SouthBendCubs.com.
