Midway to the City is the "Orange Line" and the CTA is under major construction, and dont worry about late night travel its plenty safe.
Right, blue line is to O'hare.

oh my! that is correct! I feel bad, so sorry, lol....I'm a Northsider what can i say! :P It IS blue line to Ohare and Orange to Midway...but yes everything around here transit wise is a mess lately..just avoid rush hour at all costs or be prepared to have a blown gasket.
I'm going to be trying for the Thursday night show. Friday is out of the question because I have Bruce tickets in St. Louis on Saturday. If Eddie needs a list and wants to come see the ESB, I'll gladly drive him down 55 to St. Louis.
I'm doing the exact same thing. Taking the Megabus Friday morning, get into Chicago around 2:15, check into my hotel on E Walton, and go to the show. The next day I leave and will be back in STL by 3, just in time to get ready for the Boss!
I know the bus sucks, but it'll be a chance to catch up on reading. Plus, I have already stated my feelings on Amtrack. Considering I got the bus ride and a 2.5 star hotel for just over $100, the trip is working out ok so far.
As for the last part, if anyone wants to split tickets (10C, Ticketmaster, or hopefully not broker), I'm for sure in.

Man, you guys are making me really want to come to Chicago. That despite the fact that I was lucky enough to catch 4 EV solo shows on the West Coast.. but a nice long weekend in Chicago... two more shows, "Hey... what's wrong with that????"
Hmmm. decisions, decisions....

I'll be flying in on Wednesday night. My husband doesn't have many more days to take off to take care of the kids, so I can't leave very early Wednesday. Hopefully since I won't be flying in until late, traffic won't be bad.

Ok so last question. I think my flight will get in at about 5:30 at Midway. With all the traffic problems will I make it to the show on Friday? I can't leave any earlier b/c of work.
stupid me... i told my boss i was done with summer school (mon & wed) a couple days ago not thinking that it i NEED to be home this wed for tickets... and what does she do?? schedules me from 10:30-8:00!! :(
i might try to find a sub or just sneak back to the office if business is slow... i work at a restaurant not a cubicle job so i cant just sit there for hours refreshing
if im not able to do that though, can anyone with an extra ticket PLEASE keep me in mind! ive already spoken to a few people via PM about teaming up but that more chances the better! im nervous as hell about getting a ticket... either night... i dont care
double check the ORANGE LINE train and make DOUBLE SURE all is good before you fly...DO NOT CAB IT! You should make it though assuming the trains are all running properly. Tho I don't know when the shows start, so I 'm going off an 8pm start time guess here.

I'm not booking a flight yet, as I know how hard it will be to get tix to one night...much less both nights!!!
Airfare from Tampa to Chicago is about $250, which isn't bad...

Blue is Ohare...it makes a big sweep from Ohare to Downtown and then back out to Forest Park I believe.
