    I'm in for the first night... will be on the road for a wedding the next day... GRRR

    BUT, I'll only need one, live in Chicago, and will definitely offer up my extra 10C (if I get a pair) to another 10C member.

    I'll be coming up from STL that Friday too, sucks the Cards aren't in town but whatever.

    I'll be heading up by myself for the night (need to make it back in time for THE BOSS in STL!), so if anyone wants to try for tickets together I would be down......

    *fingers crossed*

    I'm going to try my hardest for 10c tickets. If not I'll still be going, even if I have to lie, cheat, and steal to get a ticket by some other method. ;)

    We'll be riding the train up from southern IL, definetly cheaper than driving these days... Same thing we did for Lolla, it's not bad at all....

    P.S... there's a streetcar type tram thingy you can take from the train station that will drop you off anywhere in the area..... I've already got my room at the Congress Plaza. Appears to be preeeeetty close to the venue.

    CAN'T WAIT!

    Are you talking about Amtrak? I took that from STL last year for Lolla and it was the worst experience of my life, 3 hour delay both ways and one of the trains had no air conditioning, never doing it again.

    I'm another in Southern IL that will be trying for tickets. If I get tickets then I will figure out how to get there and where to stay.
    Ok just looked up plane tickets and it is sooo weird that they have one flight that goes to Atlanta and then to Chicago. Why go to Atlanta from STL and then to Chicago. I'm sure somewhere somehow it makes sense.
    Anyway looks like I can get plane tickets for $150-200 round trip, not too bad I guess.

    Lambert (if thats where you are going) has pretty much cut their flights in half, so it is no suprise there will be less direct flights..even to chicago...gotta love the trickle down affect of gas prices ;)

    carpooling would be the best if that is an option

    How far is the venue from the airport? If my flight gets in at 6 would I be there in time for the show? This is the earliest flight I could take and if I can't make it I don't want to buy tickets.

    Yep I would leave from Lambert. It just seems so ridiculous to fly to Atlanta and then to Chicago. The whole flight from STL to Chicago is 20-30 minutes.

    I spose I could carpool but I loathe that 6 hour nothing to look at but cornfields trip. And would it even be much cheaper? I can get a round trip ticket for under $150 bucks, gas and munchies for a 12 hour trip would be at least that if not more.

    There are 2 airports in Chicago, OHare and of course I can't think of the other off the top of my head.
    IF you took a cab straight there you could probably do it.

    Thanks! I guess the worst that could happen is I miss a little of Liam Finn. Don't really want to miss him but I guess it'll do.

    damn... it sucks that chicago is always the closest venue to the places PJ dont play... now were gonna get all the south and midwest traffic in addition to the hometown fans... no offense to any out of towners of course :D
