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

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.

Ummmm, there are no poles to sit behind at the Rosemont Theater. You could possibly sit next to a column in this venue but it should not obstruct a view if you have a neck that works in the slightest of function.

Love the pessimism that permeates from some on this board.

It's a smaller venue that will be a hot ticket...tickets haven't even gone on sale yet and people are already complaining.

Would love to go, but I wish they said what they'd be performing.

For a chance to hear those 2 together, I don't think I'd care if they did extended jams of Squeeze Box and You Better You Bet.

It is one hell of a bill for sure--two of my heroes! And very cool it's for a great cause. Just don't think I can afford the trip. Stinks, as it's definitely drivable. I hope there's a boot! Good luck to all those trying!

It looks like the stage is up and close with the fans per this photo ...

I'm going to be a Debbie downer/negative Nancy and just say it, but this doesn't really do anything for me. In fact, I got tired of the whole Eddie hearts the Who like 10, 15 years ago. Hasn't he already performed with Pete Townsend/The Who multiple times before?? An evening celebrating the Who? So what???

Flame on!

(I'm not coming back here to read any responses, lol)

I simply cannot afford to do it. This is literally my DREAM show but I just can't do it. The only thing that could possibly make this show any better, for me, would be a Michael Stipe sit-in for a few tunes.
All that being said, this shit NEEEEEEDS to be released in some format.

Same for me. The Who is one of my favorite bands and I can't imagine a cooler show than Eddie singing with the Who for the entire set. I mean this is like 1000 times cooler than going to a "real" Who concert which is really just two guys anyway. I was lucky to see them twice when John was still alive, but this is just a dream show. I wish I could go. Cost plus weekday plus 1500 miles away makes it a no-go. I work in education and it's so close to the end of the year I just can't take 2-3 days off work to fly to a concert. If it was June 14th I'd be trying to get tickets like a fucking madman. Please release a CD or DVD or both, otherwise it will drive me insane till I die, knowing that this happened and I missed it.

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.

This made me laugh out loud. Haha. Thanks for the best laugh I had all day.

Wtf does that mean? There will no tickets available come Tuesday??

I guess it's illegal to come right out and say, no regular fans wanted. Pisses me off. Pete is my favorite man in the world, so much a part of who I am, and I apparently have zero chance here.
