I'm sorry I won't be around, but I head to DTW for the weekend Friday.

Cards/Cubs are hot tickets (heh heh heh). You may want to secure something on line, ebay is always my preferred method. Scalping is illegal in Missouri (ahem) so keep that in mind as you notice the numerous people selling tickets at the famous former ballplayer's restaurant across from the ballpark, and when checking other ticket "outlets" like doormen and concierges at hotels conveniently located close to the stadium.

BE extra careful of our street corner ticket vendors. Tickets are scannable this year, so this is a scam where the person goes into the ball park with the ticket and hands it back out to a friend, who then seeks to sell it on the corner. The ticket is not reuseable, and the unlucky purchaser will be turned away from the ballpark.
