Hey gruff! I specifically remember GA being packed! And I specifically remember member comments about how tight it was.

Not trying to deter anyone, I can't imagine the experience! Just sayin!

I am just too short for GA and I can only dream of being on the rail sooooo.....I learned my lesson in Pitts and Lex I'm too short for GA. I WILL however put in for GA if it's in MI.

Planning on attending both from the GA pit!

good info, thank you.  My wife and I will probably head in about 30 minutes before the band goes on so I'm guessing we'll be somewhere way in the back (if I am lucky enough to win GA).

But gruff sounds like GA will be more members and their own company. Not random public people soooo that's huge!

Looking to go to both, cya all there!!

What were 10c seats like in 2016 based on seniority?

Seemed like any # over very low 200K were in the stands. 10C #s less than that, excluding those in GA, were in seats on the field.

Yeah I m at 139xxx so hopefully I d be on the field. How big is ga?  

Been to all 3 Wrigleys. I'm 130xxx and have as always been on field with reserved and seats good enough that I thought were better /easier than dealing with GA (I'm 40 and would prefer to get a beer without suffering crippling anxiety of never getting back to my spot).

Went to both fenway last time with my wife and brother and we are heading to Chicago for both this time around.  Can’t wait!!!

Would have to dig through stubs to say, but having seen them in the front row, behind the stage, the back of a lawn and everywhere in between I can just say I think you'd find reserved seats in our seniority range to be acceptable and in line with your expectations given the large number of 10C fans in attendance. Not going to be eye contact close, but probably not going to be near the back of the field or in the bleachers either.

Gonna try for both, went night 1 in 2016 and really regretted not trying to stick around for night 2

chiwhitesox

For me the diversity of the sets makes it a no brainer to see both nights. Here’s to hoping we get LBC one of the nights

chiwhitesox

Or just play Riot Act start to finish and that would work too.

Night 1 for me, wish I could swing both, but we need to get back to our 4 kids. 

IgotshitID

My 10c number is 416, anyone with a similar number go to a wrigley show before? Any idea of what kind of seats i would get if i dont win GA?

I’m similar. 2013 and both for 2016 scored me 1st base side (right near first base) about 10 rows up on the incline. Great seats

Just booked the Hilton Garden Inn this morning, just need the tickets now

My 10c # is 495xxx and my seats were not good at Wrigley 1 in 2016. I was between the Cubs on deck circle and home plate, and in the farthest row back of the 2nd section. It was one of those where you just enjoy being in the building and watch the screens all night. You couldn't see anything on the stage from that far away. Which is why I'm really going to try for GA this time.

GA both last year...nothing but will do this year. Wrigley is my church and to stand on the hallowed field is the greatest thrill in the world for me.

Trying for both! Hotel is booked, vacation is requested and work-approved.

My 10c # is 498xxx and that's why I'm hesitant about entering for reserved. But I'm pretty small and short and don't know if GA would be good for me either. I don't wanna watch the screens all night! I need some advice please.

Wouldn't miss it.

What's with all the talk of watching screens...the only thing that matters is that you get in the venue and you HEAR the music. I would rather be near home plate where the sound is great than crammed up front. Could care less about seeing the dudes up close.

oh, why not?

Not necessarily about seeing them up close, just  would rather watch the whole stage rather than what someone is deciding to show on the video screen.
