My 750xxx 10club number

SPEEDY MCCREADY

I'm serious, that's my number. 
Where do you think I will be sitting at Wrigley, if I were to win 10club tix? 

Im guessing I will be in the right field bleachers, selling hot dogs.

I signed up for 10C in 2018 before the tour was announced. My seats were in sec 412. I would say definitely in the 300s. Not a bad view and the sound is pretty good up there.

If it works out similarly to the United Center shows last year, you’d get better seats at face value buying later, and not from the lottery.
I got section 100 facing the stage, the day before the show, at face value.
People had a hard time getting anything near face value back when trying to sell their 300 level seats.
Keep in mind, capacity is much larger at Wrigley. Holds 41,000 vs 23,000. So will be even more difficult to unload unwanted seats.

Yeah, I was just having fun when I started this thread. 
Ive been a member for over 20 years, and I know how the ticket game is played. 

Last year I bought side stage for the United Center for $45, the day of the show. 
I have no intention of putting in for 10club seats this time around.

Although I am not kidding about my 10club number.
After letting it expire a few times, I sit at 750xxx

Same here. Not doing the lottery this time.
I was a member throughout the 90’s. Accidentally let it lapse once in the mid-2000’s, so now my membership number isn’t that great.
I’m still happy to be a member for some of the merch purchasing, but has no use for seniority based ticket lotteries.

I'm curious, after seeing how United Center played out last year, with plenty of tickets available the week or the show, and so many people not being able to unload their bad seats, if much fewer people will enter the lottery this time.
I know I'm not.
I saw plenty of seats between $50-$100 the week of the Chicago shows last year.

Unfortunately, not if the mistake was 15-20 years ago. I emailed then and asked at that time about being able to keep my original number, but no dice.

Same here. Wasn’t allowed to keep my original membership number after my one time mistake of it lapsing. Which is fine.

Good tip for anybody who doesn't know.

There are some huge misconceptions going around about demand for United Center shows last year was not that great, and somehow that will affect demand for Wrigley this summer…FALSE

United Center pretty much sounds like absolute fucking garbage from up top where as at Wrigley if you’re not on the field the upper deck sounds way better than being stuffed back in the lower level mostly under the roof.

Really not trying to be a know it all here but demand for Pearl Jam tickets at United Center last year versus Wrigley this summer is 100% apples & oranges

RatherStarved

United Center was a Tues/Thurs after Labor Day I believe.  Wrigley 2 is Saturday of Labor Day weekend.  Very different in terms of the amount of people who can make it.  

Also any concert could have last minute cheap tickets but there could be times when tickets cost more at the end.  You can’t compare a known outcome from last year’s day of show pricing to the unknown of this year.

$175 tickets will weed out a lot of people from doing the lottery option - plus the enormous pit for Chicago- my odds are way higher to get a GA 🍀🍀 a guy can dream right?

Yes, one can dream! 

Although I don't think the $175 price is going to scare away that many people. It may make people bitch, whine, scream, yell, and cry. But at the end of the day they are going to still try to get tickets, and pay the $175. 

susannj

And I am 747XXX and trying for NYC and PHI but honestly I don't even think I will get any tickets never mind good seats. Oh how I miss those seniority days when it mattered  

know1

I have a number of 256XXX and at the last Wrigley show they were about 2/3 of the way back in the seats on the field. 

Since they removed the GA option in the lottery, my seats have taken another jump back though. I expect to be in the back of the seats on the field or low in the stands.

And I'm ALWAYS on Stone's side. In 17 concerts, I've been on Mike's 2 times.

I wasn't either. And that was like a 5 or 6 year lapse.  Begged via email in 2004ish and was told no.so sad. I've never, ever had good seats.

Wrigley is a tough one to gauge.  The UC shows in '23 were the best option for many travelling fans due to lack of shows, especially east coasters.  With more shows being played this year, plus the 40K capacity at Wrigley vs. 20K capacity at UC, the high # 10C seats could be better off than being stuck in the rafters at UC.  It will all come down to how many PJ Premium they put aside and how many seats they put in the public sale pool that are better than 10C seats.  Those two factors will be huge and I have no idea how it will play out.  Hopefully people aren't stuck with $175 nosebleeds that they can't even sell for $50.

Agreed 100%. The 1 positive about Wrigley is that it has the largest GA of the North American shows so that might help. I also noticed on the seating chart that no 10c tickets are allocated to the highest upper level seats which is good to see.  

angry_skull

One of the last times they played there I was about as far from them as you could get and still be in the stadium. Upper deck - near the announcer booth -  home plate - last row -  back to a chain link fence where I could lean of the post next to me and see the folks outside hearing essentially the same thing I was for free. Might do that myself this time.
