Note that it almost never works during big rivalry games or the Crosstown Classic and you have a better chance of success during mid-week games. Wait for the game to start. Seriously. Post...

chartier: I was excited about the upcoming Chicago Ventra card until I read this. A mountain of fees are on the way, including a $10-per-hour “Account Research Fee,” a $2 fee for simply calling customer support, and—my personal favorite—a $2-per-month fee on the debit card if you stop making purchases or topping off your account after 18 months. Oh, and if you want out, the CTA will charge you...
