Cubs 2025 Promotional Schedule

The Cubs are making single game tickets available for purchase soon, on February 21 (which happens to be the day after the Cactus League opener), and there’s currently a presale lottery you can sign up for if you care about these things. My usual plan is to decide which game(s) I attend based on available funds and also the promotional schedule, which was actually just released. The Cubs opener happens to be on April 4 against the Padres, so there’s some time to plan and you can check out the rest of the schedule here. You can also peruse the promo schedule but I thought I’d look at some stuff I personally think are fun…

APRIL

• Saturday, April 19 — Against the Diamondbacks, you might snag a PCA bobblehead where his helmet can fly off (I am unsure if it fits on his head, but then again it’s not like the on-field helmet he wears is the best fit either since it never stays on anyway)!
• Saturday, April 26 — Hosting the Phillies, you can get a Clark the Cub bobblehead where he’s a giant bear on top of the Wrigley scoreboard.

MAY

• Throughout this month, which I think is interesting given the whole “anti-DEI” thing going around, the Cubs have a few heritage items, though I think May is only Asian Heritage Month as the Hispanic Heritage Month is in September.
• Friday, May 30 — There’s a cool quarter zip that only the folks in the bleachers will get.
• Saturday, May 31 — Then the next day, also in the series against the Reds, there’s a funny Dansby Swanson flow headband that looks like an unruly toupee.

JUNE

• Sunday, June 1 — This does mean we get a Friday the 13th this month, and this giveaway to end the Reds series (lots of fun things this series!) is a Shota Imanaga at his locker bobblehead!
• Friday, June 13 — Speaking of Friday the 13th, against the Pirates, the bleacher bums get an umbrella hat.
• Friday, June 20 — If you are a fan of the new alternate baby blue Cubs uniforms, they’re giving those away in this game against the Mariners.
• Sunday, June 22 — Another bobblehead, this time of Michael Busch.

JULY

• Thursday, July 3 — This one against Cleveland has a Bluetooth speaker that will probably break in a week, but it’s a nice thought.
• Monday, July 21 — Against the Royals, and ironic since I have never seen a pet day at Wrigley Field, like, ever, they’re giving away Cubs themed pet toys.

AUGUST

• Sunday, August 3 — Hosting the Orioles, which I may actually try to go to since my friend in the area is an O’s fan, there is a Greg Maddux slip-n-slide bobblehead.
• Tuesday, August 5 — The Reds are back in town, and this close to the start of the school year, they’re giving away back to school backpacks if you happen to have the special event ticket offer.

SEPTEMBER

• They’ve been showing all kind of special ticket offer and theme game caps and T-shirts, and there’s another heritage item, this time for Greek heritage. I guess the Ricketts aren’t as gung ho against DEI as their leader, eh?
• Tuesday, September 23 — If you do have this ticket offer for Oktoberfest, you can get a pretty cool beer stein as the Cubs battle the Mets.

Now to actually get a job so I can actually afford to go to a game or two.
