The Cubs sold 2,616,780 tickets in 2022, the fewest in a full capacity season (obviously excluding 2020 and 2021) since 1997. That ranked ninth in MLB, though only about 9,000 behind the eighth-place Red Sox.
The average per game of 32,306 also averaged ninth, again just slightly behind the Red Sox.
The attendance drop was a factor in the Cubs lowering season ticket prices an average of five percent, as I reported here last week. My bleacher season ticket dropped more than six percent, which was among the largest drops for any pricing tier for 2023.
