From what I see, you will have the tickets by July 16th or 17th. So you should be cool.

But when I went to the Rose Bowl this year, I bought my tickets the same day as the event and stubhub had their own "will call" tent set up in the parking lot. I picked up the tickets, and sat in the front row for less then face value, since I bought the tickets 1 hour before the game started. Guess the seller thought something is better than nothing.

noone cant deliver 16-17 july GA for this show..

again, many thanks for the replies. I will be grateful for just any ticket to Wrigley, not worth the aggravation if the GA tickets are not legit on stubhub. Seems like there are still lots of legit tickets in the other seating areas.

thanks!

Search to buy tix have row and seat only..and are expensive now...wait prices to drop

answer is the same

NO

Right. The GAs are bullshit (plus, who in the fuck would spend $1700+ on ONE GA ticket even if they were real, which they're not??).

God. The prices on Stubhub are outrageous. Even 500 levels are going for $400 - $600 per ticket right now. :fp: Can't believe anyone would spend that!

I do agree, the prices today are a bit high for the Wrigley venue and perhaps they will come down a bit. I watched the prices for EV's solo shows come down a bit on Stubhub. I did pay close to $1000 for two tickets (many times) for front row but it was worth every penny, as seeing EV in the smaller venues and in the front row is like no other concert experience... its like sitting in his living room and listening to him play, I could easily blow $500 bucks on some new clothes and shoes, or I can go see an Eddie show once in a while.

I think I will continue to keep going to see Eddie shows even if I have to shell out some cash, after all, how many pairs of shoes and clothes does a gal really need?

Sorry Dimi, it hurts and I know 10 club even chimed in that only they have GA, but it's not true... Others are out there.

The bottom line is most people can't afford it. So they don't want you either. So they are gonna try and scare you.
There is some risk, but it is tiny. No guts, no field ticket.

well I am not a teeny bopper, in my 40s and have worked hard all my life, so spending a little cash doesn't bother me for something like this, as I don't waste money on other things that many people do. I can afford up to $1500, maybe even a little more for a ticket. Going to EV and PJ concerts are my one splurge in life. Its not that I like having to pay more than face value, but I never luck out and score them when they first go on sale.

My main concern was just staying legit. I don't want the Pearl Jam ticket police at my door... :nono:

i have a friend that knows the mayor of Chicago..he told me he will hook me up with 20 GA for me and my friends...im waiting to see if its legit

kc007

oh, one last question, how many people does the GA Field section hold? I've never been to Wrigley, have any of you seen a show at that venue before?

I really appreciate the feedback!

Thanks.

Can I have one???

I hate to say this, but....

Like it or not Dimi, there are GA tickets out there, no matter what 10C is telling you. Chicago is a big city, and so many people with connections and calling in favors will get tickets.

This is the thing about having a GA area... there's "capacity" and then there's capacity. major venues/concert promoters frequently jam more people into GA areas than their allowed, if there's the demand.

I'm sure 10C were told they got all the GA's.... but I gaurentee you there's people out there with them already in their hand...

And again, like it or not, if a fan club member is determined to scalp his GA for some ungodly sum of money, he'll do it, and someone will pay for it... once the tickets are in his hands from the box office, there's so many things you can do with them....

After doing some research, whoever posted about "capacity" and capacity is 100% correct. 10C may have been told they have all GA seats by Wrigley, but that is not the case.

I was in GA at both Springsteen shows at Wrigley and there seemed to be about 2500-3000 people in the GA section. However, if that seems like a big number don't be alarmed. Because of how it's set up no matter where you are in the GA area you'll have a clear and close view to the stage.

thanks for that info! Bruce must have been awesome to see there, I saw him a few years back, what a show he puts on!

Well I think no matter what, as long as it doesn't rain on July 19 in Chicago, any seat will be an awesome seat.

I think they will come down more than a bit in July. There are so many tickets - they never stay this expensive closer to the show for such a big venue unless you're talking the best seats (actually, even those seem way too high right now. WAY.)

How do you know that there are non-10C GA tix out there? Can you post the link to evidence of this? Thanks!

I bet it's legit. Why cant these ticket brokers buy ten club memberships just to get tickets and sell them. There are tons of bands with fan clubs and fan club tickets, if your a ticket broker why would you not buy memberships to get good seats and sell them. It's bullshit and sucks for us but I bet the GA tickets are legit and that's what was done and why you have to meet them the day of the show. I'd buy them if I had the money. Instead I'll end up paying $200 for nosebleed seats just so I can see Pearl Jam.

Because all the GA tix on sale say they will be delivered before the day of the show. 10C tix aren't available before the day of the show.

Yeah, every listing I glanced at had "FedEx" listed as the delivery method.... there could be other listings that I didn't see that say pick up day off show or something, but I didn't see any. But if there are, who would be crazy enough to prepay for a $1700 ticket and then trust that whoever the seller is will be on the corner of wherever and whatever with the ticket and wristband 5 months later??? I would never do that.
