The area around the Hyatt House specifically, the West Loop, is as safe as any major city in the US. It is bars, restaurants, condo buildings, and yuppies walking golden doodles. I would certainly recommend it over the most common tourist areas - the Loop around Millennium Park and the Magnificent Mile. That is where there have been issues with large gatherings of teenagers recently. I personally would advise against staying in those areas right now for that reason.
Agree that around the United Center, specifically to the west, is a bad area not somewhere you want to hang out. But if you are walking back on Madison after the show with huge group of people it will be fine. I probably average once a month making that walk and have never felt unsafe.0 -

Used to just mail in your requests and a money order, in the 90's your tix would be mailed to you, then starting in either 2000 or 2003 you picked them up at will call.This show, another show, a show here and a show there.0 -

I've read through things but have a question I'm hoping you guys can clarify, from what I can tell jumping on the lottery site there is no ranking/prioirtising of shows if you're putting in for multiple shows, is this correct and does that mean essentially equal odds of getting tickets to all shows you put in for?
Long way to come so hoping to max my chances :-) Cheers!Kiwi Jammer said:Hey all, I'm looking at travelling over from NZ and have been following this thread with much interest and excitment!

Where are you seeing this?
SO for example, Chicago night 1, will be a lottery for all who picked it as their #1. If there's leftover tickets they'll do a lottery for all who selected it as #2. If there's leftover tickets there will be a lottery for all who selected it as #3, and so on.
So the higher you rank it drastically increases your odds of getting it. If it is anything like the 2018 and the 2020/2022 shows, you are all but guaranteed a ticket for your #1 pick (there's no MSG this round, so probably true).0 -

Probably a stupid question. I have already requested Saint Paul 1 show but thinking about updating my request to the 2nd in order to increase my odds. Will it be easy to sell one of these, from what I understand, at face value? I'm guessing there will be huge demand for them, but just nervous about spending so much money. I guess the worst case scenario is that I get to go to a second show. But just exploring my options and nervous about having to purchase a second batch of tix. Opinions and thoughts on this are much appreciated!0

Chances of a Jordan themed Chicago ‘23 poster? I’m in line already.0

Friend of mine re-joined 10c a couple weeks ago and got a number in the 735k range. Just gives you an idea of how high the numbers are now."I got memories, I got shit"0

I see lots of folks asking about the safety around the UC for walking to and from the shows.How’s the safety for the people that will be camping out there for a couple nights for GA (we all know this will be the case).0

There were also people who claim they got shut out of their one and only pick to shows like LA. I'm assuming they just didn't follow directions or put in an invalid card number and never resounded to the emails to correct it.0 -

I can add that I joined in May 2023 and am just shy of 720,000 so they’ve added 15,000 active members (as still within 1st year) in 10-11 months.0
