This might be OT a bit... but what are some decent hotels in the area? we will be flying in from canada, looking to make a great weekend with my husband!
Myself included, a lot of 10 Clubbers are staying at the downtown Hyatt on East Wacker....A LOT of 10 Clubbers.
Thanks for the heads up! How far is it from Wrigley?
No problem - the more the better. I believe the Hyatt is only about 6 miles from Wrigley and a straight shot on the train from the hotel.

Keep in mind Wrigley is considered a small and tight field. Not alot of extra room. Once the stage and backstage area are set up my guess would be everything will be a lot closer to the main(lower bowl) seats. Just my guess/ hope since I am a lower bowler :-)
Is anyone concerned that there is, in my opinion, a very large difference between being on the field vs being in the lower bowl. The field seats seem so much closer.
Or in the alternative for short people, you wont see anything from the back of the field since its all flat.[/quote]
Yeah, FANnCA, while feeling very fortunate to have won field/lower bowl tix, I am highly, highly annoyed that we are being told to wait until the day of the show - up to minutes before showtime - to find out whether our tix will be on the field or a in bowl. I want to take my wife, and she wants to go badly growing up a Cubs fan in Chicago, but the prospect of having to stand on the field behind lots of tall folks pisses me off.
I have already emailed asking if that simple request of information can be honored: tell us if we'll be on the field or in a bowl. The difference will literally make or break the enjoyment of the show for us, as snotty as that is going to sound to some of you readers who didn't win lottery tix.

If you are really worried about field tickets I bet with minimal effort at Wrigley you can find a nice couple to switch your tickets with. There will be plenty of people dying to get tickets on the field.
Did anybody else not receive the confirmation email yet? I wrote to 10c yesterday and they told me to check my spam folder, but there is nothing there. They didn't answer yet on my follow-up mails that I also sent last night. I did receive the general update emails from tenclub though.
The "won" still shows in "My tickets". I also didn't get a confirmation for my selection in the first place, but since that also didn't happen during the test drawing I didn't really think it was strange. Now I have read that people got email confirmations for everything, I feel a little uneasy :?
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
Surely, Jimmy. But I'd really appreciate being able to pick up my tix early in the day and do other stuff and get to the arena on our own terms without worrying about having to hassle/scalp/etc outside the arena. As appreciative as I am for Ten Club's/band's willingness to help fans get the best seats, distinguishing between floor seats and lower bowl seats shouldn't be a tough request or expectation. At all.

Coming from Houston!! Can't wait! Lower bowl was my first choice. I thought it would increase my chances of getting tickets since so many people would by going for GA. Not sure if that helped, but I'm just glad to be going.
"There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
"Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
"Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."
My wife will be seven months pregnant so this is what I wanted because i want her to have a seat. I didn't find out she was expecting until after I put in for GA as my first choice so i kinda lucked out in that respect. See you there!

I didn't realize that we might not be on the field with these tickets :-( Im still glad I got them but now Im hoping I got field tickets!!!!
Im hoping my husband can go with me....it will be his first show I'd like for him to experience it to the fullest :-)

Whether you have field or lower bowl will depend on your fan club member since they should be given out by seniority. So, if you have a really low or pretty high number, you should be able to figure out which it will be for you.
Good point, I was able to do that in LA. Sure people in Chi will do it no problem.

Exact same thing here (well we hope so at least). My wife and I have had lots of troubles getting pregnant (going on 3 years now) and this baby making thing has gotten expensive if you know what I mean. She is certain that this last procedure worked though. We will find out for sure on Mon, Feb 4. I put in for lower bowl praying 1) that she would be pregnant and needing a seat, and 2) just to get a seat somewhere, anywhere!
Hope all goes well for you and your wife in the meantime!

"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Being 5'7" & my fiance is 5'1", I guess lower bowl will be my best bet for a good view of the stage. Taking my fanclub # into account, it's probably a safe bet I'll be in the bowl.
Regardless of my seat & the setlist, I am so pumped for this show. We are flying from Boston & my best friend & his wife are flying in from Phoenix for what will be their 1st Pearl Jam show. I'm hoping it's an epic concert considering the venue & no opening act.
I'll be there, flying in from CA. First choice. The couples section -- my wife would not want GA, and I think I agree at this point. Pushing 40, so I'd rather stand in front of a seat.
