Chicago: to go or not to go?

I'm thinking about going to the 1st Chicago show because I live in Kentucky and I've finally lost hope that they will play anything closer this year (i.e. Ohio, Tennessee). But it's like a 7 hour drive from here and the only tickets I can get at a reasonable price are in the upper level. You think it's worth the drive + money? I've never been to the United Center-- how bad would 300 level seats be?

    with all of the talk about a 2010 tour, you might want to wait. then again, if it were me...i'd go! 8-)

    singles avail on tix master, if you want to wait for behind stage they have not gone on sale yet.no certainty a 2010 show will be any closer and if it is,go again.
    to me its economics ,can i afford it or no, luckily i am able to fit both chi towns shows into a flight from pgh.budget.cant do philly also but oh well.....

    if you have to ask then i think the answer is probably no... hold out for something in 2010... i think youll get something... out of indy, cleveland, cincy, nashville, lexington, and memphis (all closer to you) you should get atleast one of those on a full tour

    depends on the funds... i just know that whenever i second guess something im usually glad i did and had that money for emergencies that come up later on

    thats the logical response... as a fan im thinking "DO IT!" :)

    I just PM'd you about an extra I have for the 1st show...
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride"!
