Wrigley GA Line

KC138045 · July 2018

IMPORTANT: Due to changes in security protocols around Wrigley Field, the city of Chicago and Wrigley Field have asked that the GA line is not permitted to form anywhere in the neighborhood prior to 8am on show day. The line will be able to start forming at 8am in the parking lot across from Murphy’s Bleachers located at the corner of Sheffield and Waveland.

Sorry campers!

This was the first concert I planned to camp out at the day before, so I'm disappointed to see we can't. I understand the security protocol but I worry about an unofficial line or lines forming prior to 8am and the chaos. I would still like to camp out.

There will be so many unofficial lines forming in alleys and around the neighborhood......I expect a lot of drama

Unless you want to be in the first 3-5 rows of GA.....there's no need to wait in line. We had friends that walked in the GA entrance in '16 within 30 minutes of show time that ended up about 8 rows deep from the rail. To me, unless you need to be on the rail, why camp out?

This has always been my experience. I’ve been as close as 2-3 from rail on mikes side doing this.

I was hoping to have my first rail experience!

I just wrote 1 on the top of my hand with a sharpie

elvistheking44 · July 2018

Hopefully this will be the one time PJ/10 club is present for the line. This is gonna need some serious authority or were gonna see grown people act like toddlers.

Great minds think alike!!

tup30 · July 2018

we watched the GA fill in '16 from LF rooftop. I think Andy has a solid plan.

JojoRice · July 2018

So if you get in line around 3 hours before show time you should be roughly row 5 or 6 I would think?

Shit just got real - added GA tickets to my virtual wallet!!!

deadendp · July 2018

What people don't think about is that Wrigleyville is a family neighborhood with, well, families. My in-laws lived in Wrigleyville. It's spendy to live there and I'm sure that they don't want the family atmosphere to be turned into a week long party. I don't blame them at all.

People will be queuing in the alleys? Pretty sure, no. That is how people get in and out of their garages. Kids play in the yards bordering the alleys. I just don't see that happening.

I will refrain from making any any remarks regarding the current White House administration.

Thanks to our exchanges several months ago, I decided on the same plan of attack. Ain't nobody got time for lines! Thanks for the tip!

What’s the situation looking less than 72 hours prior to Wrigley 1? Anyone trying to stake out a spot?
