SOUTH BEND – After last year’s success, the South Bend Cubs will once again offer an exclusive ticket package for its home opener on Thursday, April 7, against the West Michigan Whitecaps at Four Winds Field.

The VIP package, presented by Budweiser, will go on sale to the public on Monday, March 7, at 10 a.m. ET.

Individual-game tickets for all home games go on sale on Wednesday, March 9, at 10 a.m. ET.

The Budweiser Opening Day VIP Package includes:
•    A Budweiser Picnic Garden seat
•    Two hour all-you-can-eat ballpark buffet (includes soda)
•    Two drink vouchers (must be at least 21 years old)
•    A South Bend Cubs hat

“Last year, our Opening Day VIP Package sold out in 90 minutes,” said Joe Hart, President of the South Bend Cubs. “Given the high demand for season and group tickets so far this year, I would anticipate this package to once again be a hot commodity.”

Only 200 VIP Packages are available. The Opening Day package is $30 and can be purchased by calling (574) 235-9988 or visiting the South Bend Cubs Box Office. Ticket packages will not be available online.
