    is there a Wrigley box office were tickets can be purchased in person at the venue? I've done this many times at various venues around the county. My brother lives within screaming distance of Wrigley and I need to know if I should make it worth his time. Any experience out there?

    I heard someone say that in the 2013 sale, calling the Cubs ticket number got tickets fast and easy, since that number wasn't advertised as part of the sale. Not sure if that will work again.

    Best bet might be Cubby Bear, Murphy's or any of the bars on Clark St. Lots of people hanging out in the area pre-show. Some have extra Tix. I know the PJ Fan Club Will call is in front. May be worth hanging out for anyone who has an extra.

    Got reserved for the 2nd night and just bought a single for the first night. Also, does anyone know where reserved is? Was just looking at the seating chart and saw some seats on the field behind GA, is that where they are? If so, that'd be cool.

    IIRC, people were able to get tickets at the last minute for Wrigley 13 at their box office. I'm sure there will only be a few if it happens, though. Good luck.

    Seats for both nights! First time at Wrigley Field! Come on August!!! Any suggestions for hotels within walking distance, or within train ride?

    anyone familiar with this area? Never been to Chicago. I just picked a cheap hotel relatively close to Wrigley. Best way to get to the field from here without driving?

    In the north Chicago neighborhood of Peterson Park, this modest hotel is 3 miles from Lane Beach, 5 miles from Wrigley Field ballpark and 10 miles from O'Hare International Airport.

    Your best bet will prob be to just grab a cab or an uber. You won't really be near a train stop or a bus route. Probably a 15 minute ride to get over to the area.

    Hey Chicago! Am I transferring from the Blue to the Red line at Washington-Lake or at Jackson?

    Transfer at Jackson, its the only other line you can transfer to there and impossible to mess up. Transfer to the red towards Howard
    Thanks!

    10C says reserved seats could be on field behind GA, or 1st rows of the lower bowl or upper deck. Sat 1st row upper deck in right field corner for Foo and they were great seats. All about the seniority number now for reserved. The lower the better. Hoping for 1st row/upper deck..it rocks up there!!!

    Reserved both nights. My PJ gang of 10 will all be there. Still cannot believe all 5 won 10C tix. Lucky lottery indeed. I am hoping to maybe visit 3 Floyds on Sunday. See if i can find some more Zombie Dust or stock up. Not sure if they are open Sundays or maybe do tours?

    Im hoping Murphy's bleachers. I have RS which is kinda nice beacuse you dont have to line up and can hang out at the bar with fans and walk in right before the show starts

    One of my favorite non-concert concert moments ever was later in the evening at the Wrigley pre-party in 2013 (the name of the bar escapes me...near Wrigley tho), and PJ is blaring over the bar's speakers and everyone in the place is singing Pearl Jam at the top of their lungs. The excitement was palpable. Let's do it again in August x2!!

    I'll be in reserved for night 1 with my Chicago cousin who once got to play HS soccer on the field. I have reserved for night 2 and I'm looking to find a single GA for it. I have a pair of reserved to offer in trade. I have a nice low seniority number. If anyone is interested in talking about helping me out with a GA, please PM me. Cheers! Rock on!

    My friend, uncle, and I scored reserved for both nights! Nice to be able to have a small party of people there.

    Reserved both nights. Looks like that's a trend for a lot of people. Anyone with GA both nights and would rather have seats for one of the nights message me. TC# 219xxx. I was about 15 rows (roughly I think) behind GA on the field with my number in 2013. They weren't bad but I am 6'3". Can't wait for those 3 days in Chicago.
    Like a word misplaced...nothing said...what a waste
