I've been up there a couple of times. Day and night. It's pretty neat to check it out. They show you a video about the construction before loading you into an elevator and taking you up. My eyes water like crazy as my ears pop continuously and I begin to think my head will explode.

I have not gone up there since they added the plexiglass looking box you can step out on. That seems pretty awesome. You step over the threshold of the building and into a glass box and straight below you are the streets. It'll probably run you and the wife $40 and kill an hour or two.

that plexiglass is one of the scariest feelings I have ever had. I am scared of heights as it is.

but that shit is unnatural. it short circuited my brain. looking straight down at the city streets and you can still feel the building move slightly. crazy but worth checking out if you have time.

Is there a seating chart for Wrigley?  I saw one for 2016, but not 2018. 

StubHub has one up now. If it's correct, compared to 2016, looks they moved the reserved seats up about 10ish rows = smaller pit. Maybe they had to compromise the pit a little to get more reserved seats.

I was able to get seats in Box 27 for night one.  Looks like they should be pretty decent.  I'm just happy to be locked in for both nights now.  Anyone sit in or around this section in '13 or '16?

WWS

Orangeville Ontario, coming both shows Reserved seats for both.

I was able to secure 2 field level spots for the 18th through the verified pre-sale. I won fan club reserved seating for the show on the 20th.
I can't wait! :-)

Look up Tilt at the Hancock Building. You stand on a ledge and the window leans you out over the city

 Got tickets right away, waiting room only refreshed twice. 
Section 2 row 2. Kind of happy that I didn't win the GA lottery now.

I put one foot on that box and my leg started trembling horribly.  That box is only a small part of the obv deck and can be avoided.

I didn't go for a verified code for the Wrigley shows cause going to Boston instead now. But was going to help out a friend who wants to go to Chicago and was just going to try via TM like everyone else. But when I go to the TM site and type in Pearl Jam, it only brings up the Seattle & Boston shows, did I miss something????

Tickets.com for Wrigley Pearl Jam tickets

Thanks Buck, looks like I have to try on Feb 21 with the bots and general public. Didn't have the verified code

So you prefer the section 2 over pit?  Just curious.  I got section 139 row two which similar to your and on right field.  I ask because I want to buy two pit\ga tickets for saturday's show and I'm not sure.

any truth that this year's ga got 20 rows smaller as compared to 2016?

In 2013, my fan club seats were behind two huge spotlights that gave off tons of heat. I don't want to complain, but the seats sucked. In 2016, I got lucky and had GA one night and lower bowl seats the next. I am pretty excited for these shows!

Everything is pushed forward. In 2016 the field seats stopped before the infield. If that seating chart is accurate, field seats will be as far back as the infield dirt. Maybe they did this to pull the stage closer.

Anyone sit in sec 102 before for a concert? I know it's a side view, but how bad is it?

i got section 202 row 10.... hideous or ok?

Anyone in reserved for the 18th have a 10c # higher than 677xxx? I might have to buy a pair of binoculars.

good news is.... you will have better seats than the folks on Murphy's rooftop.

I'll be behind you in row 15. It doesn't look good; unless the stage is tilted a bit, it looks to me like we might not even be able to see them. I *really* hope I'm wrong!

I will have done 4 GAs this tour heading into Wrigley, it's just nice having a close seat section 2 row 2 seat 2. That's my only reasoning, GA is clearly best ticket.

Hey all. Locked in for Night 1 via 10c. So thankful for the lottery with all the presale BS today even in spite of my crappy 10c number. I finally convinced my wife to join me at a show and it'll be her first. We are currently booked at the Palmer House. We got a pretty good rate for under $200. We are coming from Minnesota so hoping for some cheap flights. Hope to share and Oldstyle with some fellow 10c's.
