Groupon Is Back With Another Wrigley Field Movie Night

"you get what you pay for." That dull saw of wisdom is particularly true with Groupon, whether it's half off a day at a spa, a teeth whitening treatment, being tucked into bed by a total stranger, or having Groupon name your baby "Clembough."

For every one of those bad offers or stunts Groupon does something truly unique like screening movies at Wrigley Field. Groupon's October 2011 screening of Ferris Bueller's Day Off proved to be so successful that they're going back to the well and offering a July 6 screening of The Blues Brothers.

Those of you who were thought the Ferris Bueller screening should have been free will be sorely disappointed at the package prices for this. The cost for one ticket for bleacher or outfield box seating is $20. A place on the outfield lawn is $40. A cool $100 gets you a VIP package of an outfield lawn ticket and unlimited food and drink at the Captain Morgan Club from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Groupon will also be giving away souvenir sunglasses and representatives from Guinness World Records will be on hand to see if a record is set for the most people wearing sunglasses at night. A costume contest will also be held to see who looks the most like Joliet Jake, Elwood, Illinois Nazis, or Sister Mary Stigmata.
