    Portland Oregon? Get to Seattle, there's a 10:45 that lands at 4:50 on Southwest for $228

    That sucks so much. Unfortunately that is the risk with airlines like Spirit.

    That sucks man. Reminds me of a Buffett show in Cincy we had tickets for about 20 years ago. Bad accident shut the interstate down three miles from the venue. We got off just in time to hear Fins and then it was over. Turned around and drive back to Indy.

    If they're looking for a fan club upgrade, I'm here and we have tickets upper deck somewhere. Last minute road trip with my brother so I didn't put in for fan club tickets this time. butlergoalie@gmail.com hope you are able to make it down here for night 2

    Thanks dmbolp. But there is no way I'm making to Sea-Tac for a 10:45 flight. Having said that I would have easily dropped 228$ for a flight. I was at PDX tonight and would have spent 400$ for a new flight. But it was 600$ and I just couldn't do it.

    bootlegger10...I agree with you now. I had heard all the bad reviews I just figured pack light and I'll be alright. I didn't realize they would cancel when no one else did.

    I am willing to try like hell to raise some funds to help with your flight. How much time do we have?
    Oh please let it rain today.

    The extra $200 you would spend on a flight is the cost of your 10c tickets. Get on a plane! Good luck

    FoxyRedLa...Unfortunately the time is up for show 1. The flights out of Portland get in too late. But thank you so much. I plan to be there for show 2. Just going to miss seeing Chicago. Will fly in day of and leave the next day. By the way I will have an extra ticket assuming I make it.

    MK88178...Unfortunately I am in Portland, Oregon and there wasn't anything flying closing enough for tomorrow's show. Thank you though. And yes I now hate Spirit.

    Spirit sucks. I've heard Sunkist stories before when dealing with them.

    FoxyRedLa...the flights leaving from Portland at the same time as mine were all on time. It was just Spirit that cancelled.

    FoxyRedLa...Please be there for me if I make it to Monday's show. As much as this is killing me I want to believe that I can make it for Monday and it will be all the more special.

    They don't have anything where you could fly into Seattle (or anywhere else) and then catch a flight to Chicago from there?

    PP193448...I hear you. Believe me. When my flight was cancelled at 9pm tonight I was in the middle of my shift. My manager let me go early so I could go to the airport and figure something out. I left hours ago with no hope (Spirit Airlines). I'm doing my best, but there is no way I can make Saturday's show. So I am just trying to do what's right for these tickets.

    You people are ridiculous. What other band would generate this kind of good will. I have gone from crying in the fetal position to believing in the good of people. I will get there for Wrigley 2. I just hope I can do something with the tickets for night 1.

    Well you should still fly out today right? You could still spend time there like you wanted and OP maybe they'll play an off show in between!!!!

    FoxyRedLa...Believe me I checked all of the flights from PDX for today. Nothing reasonable. Like under 500$. Booking last minute doesn't pay. Best I could do was take Spirit's next available flight which get's in Monday morning and then leaves Tuesday back to Portland. Seems ridiculous, but I really didn't have other options.

    jpk97uw...I literally left work in the middle of my shift and went to the airport to try and figure out a way. Spirit gave me no options. All I could do was book a new flight for 500 or 600$
