    If this wasn't for charity, I'd be super-pissed that we paid $500/ticket for balcony tickets during the original sale.
    I think you can call Ticketmaster for a 1 time upgrade if better seats are now available,  There might be a small cost ($5-$10).

    That's what I did. Had 3 rows from the back in the balcony. Called and got upgraded to row J on the main floor for the same cost (with $5 per ticket service fee).

    wow if they do that version of the real me as an encore, like they did in the dvd(classic quad live) i will be shocked/pleased x 10
    gotta give great kudos to pete's wife rachel. she really did a great job scoring this masterpiece
    really really looking forward to this show!! it's such a wonderful/unique take on this masterpiece. this album always felt like it had a classical side to it from the beginning, so the fit is perfect. i just hope i don't start crying(lol) cause this stuffs very emotional for me. i have probably listened to quad over 300 times in my life, in one version or another...by far more than any other album i've grown up with. this album was always with me in the greatest of times growing up. camping, the beach. the sand dunes. the boombox with the cassette....

    Still priced too high. I know it's for charity, but it's a weeknight, in the suburbs, with no Who show that week (like 2015 had) to bring people in from out-of-area. It's a show that's likely of less interest than the last one. My love for Quad and all things Quad related knows almost no bounds, and I'll buy tix eventually, but they aimed a little high here. A friend saw this last night in NYC (no EV though) and spent $50.

    I wonder if Eddie will sing the 7th inning stretch tomorrow?  It would make sense since he hasn't done it yet this year and that would give home one last chance to promote the concert.

    Crazy.  Safe to say this won't be in Chicago next year.

    They should announce right now that EV will play a full set to open and sell out the place.

    I am hoping that they move people out of the balcony into the lower seats so that they are not playing to an empty theater.

    This is really shocking. I would kill to be at this show, but its just too far for midweek travel!  I thought Chicago would fill this up for sure. This would never happen in NY, Phily, Boston...

    The theater is not really in Chicago.  It's about 30-45 minutes away from the city in the burbs.  I think that ticket sales would be slightly better if the show was in the city.
    I agree with a previous poster that not having The Who in town the week of the show is impacting sales compared to last year.

    I think it was over-priced.  Most decent seats were $500-$1,000.  It's for charity but it's still hard for people to justify.  A no-brainer for me if it was an EV show, but it was hard for me to pull the trigger for a few EV songs.  I don't know what kind of draw PT has.
