    Tempting... with those price points I wonder how close each ticket price gets you...

    They could have done this at The Allstate Arena and had it sell out in 2 minutes. I'll be trying for tickets, but I'm guessing chances of scoring any seats are going to be slim to none.

    I'm seeing The Who at the Allstate Arena the day before. Any chance Eddie makes an appearance or would Roger not be cool with that? Would love to see Eddie and Pete but probably can't afford it.

    Roger would NOT be cool with that.

    I can see it now...

    Actually no idea, though I think they'd be pals! Absolutely love Daltrey, but given the past of ol' Roger?

    Oh so tempting, especially as it is just a few days before my birthday. Unfortunately, I'm already going away for my birthday, so this probably won't work. Got a few days to ponder it, though.

    Roger loves Ed. Roger left his seat at Hammersmith Apollo to surprise Ed and join him on stage for Blue Red & Grey and Naked Eye a few years back. Ed was really chuffed.

    Yeah Hedo, Ed has always supported Roger's teen cancer efforts, he'd be fine with it. Pete's the arrogant one, and I say that with complete honesty. I love Pete, but he doesn't like to be outshined. Unless he's mellowed with age, but I doubt it. One of the things I've always loved about him, he's brilliant and he knows it. :).

    Any idea how many $250 seats there will be? I heard a rumor that the balcony would be $100 and $250 which wouldn't be bad. Anything over $250 is out of my price range. Guess I will be going to fewer Cubs games this year :anguished:

    I'd trade 2 Grateful Dead tickets in Section 119 for Friday July 3 show at Soldier Field for 2 good seats to Rosemont Theater.

    I'm going to say that less than a 1/4 of the seats will be under $250. As for the $100 seats there will probably be 100-150 of these available and will be in the ass end of the venue, probably behind a pole.

    Hmmmm, cost of ticket $1000, cost of flight $500, hotel $300, car rental $50, Memories... Priceless... Yeah I'm going for it, against all better judgment.

    You should buy a second ticket to light your cigar with.

    It's a dream come true for me. Haven't completely ruled it out.
