Service to/from concerts and various sporting events at the United Center and Soldier Field; Service details for the 2023 Cubs and Sox games
No matter if you are traveling north or south, let CTA’s cost friendly fares get you to and from Chicago’s ballparks this season, plus all other major sports venues in between. Customers can save money by purchasing an unlimited rides pass, either the 1-Day ($5) – far more economical and convenient than the price of gas and parking - or the 3-Day ($15) pass – a real budget-saving move.
