Could have just been lazy conductor for my friend as well. I know from personal experience most fares don't get collected during weekday rush hours unless going to/from downtown
Were you charged? A friend took it down from LF Friday. The conductor seeing him in NU apparel said no charge if going to game. He asked to see ticket. My friend said he didn't yet have it (I hadn't transferred it to him). Conductor let him slide.
I too don't get why alcohol gets excluded from a STH discounts. I totally get you don't want to have dollar beer nights but I don't think a 10% discount that would take a $17 beer down to $15 range is going to result in a bunch of out of control drunks.
Actually worked fine last night. TBH it's sometimes amateur hour at Wrigley trying to use the discount.
Full disclosure, I rarely buy at either. No need to at Wrigley given you bring in all your own food/drink. Last night was outlier given MNF. Never buy at Sunday games.
Along this line kind of disappointed (given everything digital now) that NU not offering STH discount on concessions as this is the norm these days. I get 10% discount at Wrigley and Bears go even better at 20% (alcohol not included).
