    This is incorrect, i believe. Several people have spoken with the Cubs and they have said Pearl jam has specified no bags larger than 6.5 x 4.5”.

    The Chicago shows are almost here!

    Here’s some day of show info that all Ten Club mobile ticket holders will need:

    Important Entry Info
    Wrigley Field gates will be split into two types of lines; Ten Club and general public. Please enter through the gate listed on your tickets and be sure you are in the Ten Club only line. There will be signage and event staff to help direct you to the appropriate line
    at your assigned gate. This is important because your tickets will not scan from the general public lines. So please be sure you are in the Ten Club line at your designated gate. Ten Club tickets will not be accepted at the Marquee Gate.

    Note to GA ticket holders
    Due to changes in neighborhood security protocols, the city of Chicago and Wrigley Field have asked that the GA line not be permitted to form anywhere in the neighborhood prior to 8am on show day. The line will be able to start forming at 8am in the parking lot across from Murphy’s Bleachers located at the corner of Sheffield and Waveland.

    GA Pit Doors: 5:00pm
    Seated Doors: 5:30pm
    Showtime: 7:30pm
    *all times subject to change

    Ten Club Mobile Ticket Tips:

    1. If you have not logged in to the Ten Club Mobile Ticket Portal to view your tickets yet, please do so now. Ten Club Members can find step-by-step instructions on how to do this here, and watch a How-To Video here.

    2. iPhone and Android users can download your tickets to your mobile wallet. You can find step-by-step instructions on how to do this here, and you can watch a How-To Video here.  

    Android users, there are many models of Android phone. Some older and lesser known models may not be compatible with Google Pay.  If you have any trouble downloading your tickets to G Pay, take a screenshot of the front and back of the ticket as back up and you’ll be all set.

    3. Please pay attention to the Entry Info listed on the back of your ticket and only enter through the Ten Club designated line at that specified gate.  Ten Club mobile tickets will not be accepted at the Marquee Gate.

    4.  Should you need further assistance, there will be two Ten Club customer service windows open from Noon - 9pm, located at the Box Office. The person whose name is on the Ten Club Mobile Ticket account must present photo ID in person to receive assistance with their ticket(s) at the customer service window.  Also, there will be Ten Club mobile ticket support staff at the entrances to provide technical support right at the gate using iPads. Just look for the “Ten Club Ticket Help” t-shirts.

    Didn't they do this night one in Seattle and ditch it night 2 because of the lines and confusion it caused?
