The 25th annual Cubs Convention will be held at the Hilton Chicago, 720 South Michigan Avenue, from Friday, January 15 through Sunday, January 17, 2010. Each fan can purchase up to four weekend passes while they last. The convention pass, valid for entry during the entire convention weekend, costs $60 plus convenience fees.
