what line? it takes about 1-2 minutes to get your tickets....It will be end of August in Chicago, hardly a bad time to spend an extra 5 minutes outside.
There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.
i agree it would be convenient, but the band does the tix day of the show to prevent scalpers from putting the best seats on stubhub/ebay.
if they were handed out a day earlier, there would be more of a chance they would go on craigslist or stubhub or ebay. something the band does not want.

They made it sound like there would be really long lines and you should come really early.

I guess HARTFORD 08' was a disaster cause too many people waited till the last minute to get their tickets. I got there around 7 got my tix with no problem and didnt miss a second of the show. A friend of mine didnt get in until afdter the 9th song.....she was outside waiting in line!
My advice is to get there alittle early 'cause you just never know what may come up.

" to myself i surrender, to the one i'll never please"
I do hope they stick to the 11am distubution time. It would make my plans I have in the city so much easier.
You know I didnt think about it earlier, but that 11AM start time would make it a lot easier for scalpers to grab their tickets and have a solid 8 hours to dump them (or prearrange sales).
That said - the lines at the UC i think are a little longer than normal because they only have two windows where some places they have 4-5 of them.
I dont think it will be horrible, but I definitely wouldnt screw around with waiting too long.

well the system isn't perfect. but let's think for a second, that's ONE guy selling tickets. theres thousands of 10C seats and only one obvious scalp. what more could they have done to prevent scalping besides checking ID's at the gate?
It's all happening....

I've spent so many years in question
To find I'd known this all along.
How good are they about sticking to the posted time? I would hate to get there around 11 and get told to come back later.

The tickets are predetermined, correct?
but these seem like a 10c scalper:
