Murphy's Rooftop Co. also has been getting requests to add names to its rooftop waitlist since the team clinched Saturday night, but owner Beth Murphy is trying not to get fans' hopes up.
Unlike Wrigley Rooftops, Murphy's, which seats 65, offered options on World Series tickets at the start of September. The nonrefundable $145 reservation guaranteed fans a chance to buy a ticket if the Cubs advanced.
Those options sold out Sept. 15, said event sales manager Matt Maroni.
Fans can still join Murphy's wait list but will only have a shot at a ticket if someone who bought an option fails to claim their ticket. About 90 percent of people who reserved National League Championship Series tickets chose to buy.
"I don't think anyone's going to pass (a ticket) up," Murphy said.
Seats outside the ballpark won't come cheap. A ticket at Murphy's will cost $600 on top of the $145 option fee. At Wrigley Rooftops, tickets to the first and third games range from $735 to $1,016 per person plus tax. The cheapest seats at the second game will be $849.
hat's a bargain compared with average prices Friday on ticket search engine SeatGeek, which listed average prices of $3,000 or more for Wrigley Field games.
Those prices typically come down substantially as the game approaches, said SeatGeek spokesman Nate Rattner. Last year, resale ticket prices for World Series games between the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets averaged $886 across the series but hit an average of $1,205 at one New York game, according to SeatGeek.
Fans who entered the Cubs' postseason ticket lottery can keep their fingers crossed, but the odds are slim: More than a million people have registered for a shot at getting one of the "thousands" of available tickets, said Cubs spokesman Julian Green. Winners will likely be announced this weekend, he said.
