    *** Ticket sale dates for the stadium shows TBD. Ten Club will email pre-sale info to all eligible members in February. See eligibility info below.
    Eligibility: 
Members active as of Monday, January 18th are eligible for this ticket drawing and the stadium shows pre-sale drawing in February. New memberships and membership renewals purchased after that date are not considered eligible for either ticket drawing pre-sale.
 
Members who were active on Monday, January 18th but whose membership lapses before the next drawing in February, will not be eligible for that drawing.
    I was wrong. My bad.


    my question is what if someones membership is up between the 18th and the lottery happens for Wrigley? If they can't get in the lottery because of that that seems very unfair to me.

    As long as it doesn't lapse during that time it won't happen.

    They just have to renew before the drawing in that case.

    Does anyone recall what the secondary prices were in 2013? You know, assuming I get shutout by the 10 club.

    I plan on going to both shows, and I have no problem sitting in the 500s as everything behind home plate will be pretty much the same anyway. But I'm not paying $500 a ticket either.

    I want to book flights now during the 3 year low, instead of being patient and having tickets in hand first. :)

    My friends got reserved seating a few hours before showtime for $75 each off the streets..

    I bought a friend a ticket to Wrigley from a scalper a couple hours before the show. I think I paid $150. 3rd base side, outfield.
    I won reserved field level last time (Have a feeling that won't happen again this time around...)
    If you strike out on the lottery, don't buy anything in advance as StubHub, etc. will have crazy prices. Buy from a scalper outside the venue. You can def get in the door for under $200. I don't expect demand to be as high as the last time (two shows, been done before...) so I'd expect tickets to be cheaper.

    I'm thinking Monday is a cheap seat..right around face. Kids 1st day back to school for most of local area..Monday alone people bail.

    I was thinking the same about Monday. If the lottery is set up with 1st and 2nd choice, I think choose Saturday as 1st choice as it might be easier to get tickets for Monday from the public on sale. Especially if the on sale times are the same for both.

    Sure glad that Chicago didn't get the 2016 Olympics since that would make these Wrigley shows unlikely.

    Not to mention the financial disaster in the Olympics aftermath. No thanks.

    I'll gladly take PJ instead.

    Do you think they will have travel packages? Or with there being 2 shows spread over 3 days will that be unlikely? How soon after the presage did they announce packages? And am I opening up another can of worms that's going to make us all go crazy waiting for another announcement?

    I was happy with 3, but Noon is cool too. Thanks both of you.

    Yeah, I think it was earlier, as my wife and I went from downtown to Wrigleyville early and got the tickets, and then went back downtown and hung out for the majority of the day.

    Yeah, you're right! Now that makes sense. I think we picked up tickets and then went to the White Sox game that afternoon.

    any suggestions on reasonable hotels in the city?

    whats up with the south loop area? some reviews say it can be sketchy? easy access to public transit?

    I've stayed by the airport before for dirt cheap. Train to downtown from there.

    Good idea. Just make sure whoever you're buying from is willing to validate your ticket with someone at the venue. There will be tons of fake tickets floating around for this show. Tons.

    Blue Line train to Irving
    Then just hop on a bus to Wrigley.

    Getting from Rosemont, to Wrigleyville or downtown is really no big deal.
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
