Just sharing what I’ve been told from credible industry sources/friends. Plans do change, often quickly. Technically this is a late summer tour and there is a shedpjl44 said:

I used to live about 4-5 blocks west of UC. You don’t need security to hang out there. There’s usually hardly anyone around the building and pre show it will be majority fans.chuck nevitt said:

Quibble away. I've been to both UC and Wrigley many times. But I live 8 hours away, so I'm certainly no expert on the Chicago area.

Not to quibble, but Wrigley and United are two completely different neighborhoods. I haven't been to United Center in a while, but from my recollection, you would be ok in the stadium area, but I wouldn't recommend wandering the neighborhood.aisleseats said:
Lol. I can't speak for that specific neighborhood. But I've camped out on the sidewalk for Wrigley before. There were security guards and several other fans around, so it was pretty safe.

Nice score, great station.elvistheking44 said:Hell Yeah! Just scored a pair for the September 5th show from WXRT in Chicago.
Interesting that they are giving out tickets before the sale.
Best part is someone from here won them. Congratulations!

PSA- for those of you who want GA and are still confused about the whether to select (a) just “GA or Reserved” or (b) both “GA or Reserved” and also “Reserved,” 10c just sent me the following response:
“Sorry for the confusion. If you are looking to maximize your chances of getting in the building, we strongly encourage you to select both options. If you don't get GA, you will then be entered for reserved. Your odds do not decrease by selecting both. Hope this helps!”
So it sounds like if you want to maximize your chances of getting into the building, you should select both “GA or Reserved” also also “Reserved.”

Sleeping overnight around the UC is not the same as lining up on a residential street behind Wrigley. There is not housing around the UC, it's deserted at night, so there will either have to be security or more likely the UC will say no lining up until 6 am the morning of the show. Not sure why anyone would stay over by the medical district. The Hyatt House there used to be the county hospital and most everyone staying there will be visiting people in the hospital. There's a VA hospital, the county hospital, and Rush hospital nearby. Not an awesome place to stay. But if the earlier poster meant the Hyatt House West Loop/Fulton Market that's a great place (especially if you like higher end restaurants). I guess some people are obsessed with spending all their time at the venue, but for anyone else, stay in the west Loop, the Loop, North Michigan Ave, etc. The Madison bus (routes 19/20) are easy ways to get to and from the venue or the Green Line at Ashland is not a bad walk to the venue either. If you want to stay in the hip parts of town (Wicker Park/Bucktown/Logan Square) the 50 Damen bus is easy to use to get to and from the venue.Kevinman said:

I have a reservation at both the Marriott UIC and the Hyatt House West Loop/Fulton Market. The Hyatt House is a few hundred dollars more for the same nights - but I will decide and then cancel one of them.Hopped Up said:

Here is an example of a joke:
"Hey, guys. I heard from a guy who knows a guy who sells Jeff his hats that the boys are gonna play a 3-night stand in Hoboken! AND it's Riot Act each night in its entirety, BUT played by Dave Abbruzese sitting in! Etch it in Stone😎"

(Also, watch your mouth.)
More than one person booked (thank god) refundable hotels because you lied. Not joked, LIED about PJ playing a show at CBP in Philly.
That wasn't sarcasm. You did it because you wanted to see what people would do. You even bragged about it in the Philly thread. I've got the screenshots.
You owe me & the entire board a PUBLIC apology. Then, I'll let it go.
Until then, your word is as good as mud around here.35 years, 35 shows.
