I'll probably sell the extras to my friends. I did get upper level reserved tix through 10c, so we'll see if I get something better through the neighbors presale.

well, no one can be a broke ron pre-sale tix. cubs have said those orders would be voided.

Or if they have a code and don't plan to buy all 6 allotted, why not buy a few for all of us that missed out?

Just wanted to pass the link along. Not sure how many will take up on the offer but it will mean less tix available for the public on sale date.

Just like every other presale that happens these days - chances are the tickets that are available during this (and any other presale) will be obstructed views that normally won't sell on the day tickets officially go "on sale". Ticketmaster/Live Nation/etc have learned that if you release these tickets in a "presale" people will be more likely to buy them because they are happy to score their tickets before the "general public". People believe they are the best available, when those are actually with-held for ticketmaster's secondary sales (i.e. VIPs, venue insiders, etc), with a small allotment of the great seats/tickets released with the public onsale.

Ask any "ticket broker", if he's honest (which we all know they're not), they tell you the same...

Trust me on this... I was counting my ticket stubs the other day from the last 5 years... total number is 135... most all of which I was the person that bought the tickets... all the distributers use the same practice.

Chances are you're better off waiting for the regular on sale anyway.

you are 100% correct

We can do our own 10C sale!

I know I'd be grateful for a local to pick me up a couple tickets if they have extras and opportunity!

As far as I read, they have the same limit allowed as the regular sale, which is 6. I could be wrong.

You are correct. The presale email states the following:

"NOTE: There is a purchase limit of six (6) tickets per household."

I've gotten either field or the best lower level seats at every pre-sale at Wrigley - they certainly don't hold the good seats back for the regular sale.

Wait, so there's 8,000 people on this list, and they can each buy up to 6 tickets. That is 48,000 tickets up for grabs at the pre-sale... or am I confused??? No wonder the 10c ticket allocation was so small. It will be interesting to see what's still available on the day of the general public sale.

Also, people are selling their presale codes online. I wonder if it would be worth buying or if they would get cancelled because the tickets would ship out of the neihgborhood, and state for that matter.

Just because you can buy up to 6 tickets does not mean they will be available.

Word of caution if you are considering buying. Codes for the presale won't be emailed until next Tuesday, so if someone is willing to sell you a code now, its a fake. I'd hate to see someone get ripped off.

They're not all guaranteed 6 tickets. Just like any other sale, there is a certain number of tickets, and they are all competing for them.

This presale is making me worried for getting tickets during the general sale. I didn't get 10C and I don't live in Chicago, so general sale is the only option I have and I don't want to get shut out. Between 10C, this pre-sale, and season ticket holders, it doesn't seem like there's going to be many tickes left for the general sale.

I was really hoping to make this my first PJ show and would hate to have to wait until the fall tour since I can't afford to pay $2000 for a ticket from StubHub.

Sorry to drag this back up but the ordinance introduced at the Chicago City Council had a few tidbits of info which some might find interesting.

Any owner, lessee, or manager of any stadium at which a musical event is held pursuant to this Ordinance shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a minimum of three thousand (3,000) tickets combined for all musical events if more than one musical event is held pursuant to this ordinance, and at least one thousand five hundred (1,500) tickets per musical event held pursuant to this Ordinance to be made available for sale to persons residing within United States Postal Service Zip Codes 60613, 60614, 60640, or 60657.

Also of note:

-Curfew is indeed 11pm.
-Beer sales end at 9:30pm.
-Ordinance was written only to include July 19 (PJ show) and 20 (Jason Aldean show)

Here is the link to the actual ordinance if you care to read it.
