Family Feud Over Cubs Tickets

Cubs season tickets have always been a hot commodity, and when they’re allegedly stolen, $2.5 million is the damages sought. Gerald Adelman owns an insurance firm and acquired the season tickets from a longtime client in 1993. For years Adelman would give the money to his son Stuart to purchase the tickets and he would hand them over, according to the Tribune. Then in 2007 Stuart left his father’s firm, Gerald Adelman and Associates, and refused to hand over the season tickets his father purchased, according to the lawsuit that was filed in Cook County Circuit Court. Adelman is seeking $128,000 for reimbursement, and in the lawsuit filed it also accuses his son of taking $163,000 in insurance commissions. In total compensatory and punitive damages the father is seeking $2.5 million from his son. The sad thing? The entire lawsuit is still more plausible than some of the contracts Hendry has handed out over the past few years.
