For the fourth consecutive year, a Chicago team is in position to start selling playoff tickets to their season ticket holders.  While the Cubs have once again struggled to pull away from the pack, they currently hold a 3 game lead in the National League Central and are nearly locks to make it back to the postseason.

Thanks to a randomly selected combination assignment, I would end up with tickets to a home Wild Card game, should the Cubs drop out of first place, all Division Series home games, home games 1 and 2 of the Championship series, and home games 1 and 2 of the World Series.  Unlike past playoff appearances, it seems I would have my normal tickets for the first two rounds, before moving a little closer to home plate but 6 rows up for the World Series.

A new wrinkle for 2018 is that only electronic tickets will be issued.  Following the conclusion of the postseason, commemorative physical tickets will be made available.
