  1. Okay, here's the deal. I bought multiple tickets for both shows thinking my wife would go as well as a couple of friends or the kids if they could. Well, my daughter has a gymnastics meet in DeKalb and we just found out yesterday that it's Sunday AM so my wife can't go with me as she has to handle the kid stuff and my friends now have other obligations. Thought I was doing them a favor but I guess not! I am still trying to talk a couple friends into going but thought I'd post here and try to get these a good home. Just realized how close the show is, had back surgery 4 weeks ago and have
  2. I have 2 extra gen admission for the 30th if you are interested and one gold. My daughter has a gymnastics meet that weekend near Chicago so I bought extras as we didn't have the day or time and now a couple of friends and wife can't go so I have extras. Let me know if you are interested. Also have a couple for the 31st. I will be there both nights anyway. Steve
  3. Hello everyone, Very excited to see Jeff again, have tickets for both shows. Saw 4 of the 5 Wilco shows in Chicago awhile back, couldn't get the Lincoln Hall tix though. I see them anytime I can when they are in the midwest. I'm coming from the Quad Cities area (Iowa/Illinois straddling the Mississippi). At any rate, does anyone know if it's all ages or 18+? I've seen it both ways on Jam. I was thinking about taking my son with me, I've been making him listen to Wilco/Jeff since he was born and I think he would enjoy it. I asked him when I first got tickets and he was stoked, then I
  4. I agree, it did get tight and there were some idiots for sure. I generally wait in line for a couple of hours (I know some of you wait way longer, but that gets me where I want to be) and with a bad back it's literally a pain, especially when you consider a total of 7 hours or so of standing. It really makes me angry when the drunks that roll in after the show starts and push up in front. That's why I hit the balcony at the Riv and Vic and get a good seat. That still didn't stop a couple of idiots from walking to the rail and blocking our view. Luckily a staff member made them move. Some peopl
  5. I don't have a setlist but that had to be one of the best Wilco shows I've ever seen! Jeff looked like he was having great fun and they rocked every song hard. I've seen them over and over and this was a special show! Wish I had a ticket for Sunday but honestly, I've been here all week and I'm just plain worn out! Can't beat Chicago for a Wilco show. Happy birthday Spencer.

    Metro

    Hey everyone, Never been to the Metro, I've been to the last 3 shows and have found a good place to sit at all. I have a bad back and prefer to sit if possible, especially after waiting in line. Are there any seats with a good view or any seating at all? How is the balcony, looks like it may be on the end rather than facing the stage? I could only find a few pictures and it's hard to tell. Any info regarding the Metro would be appreciated. Thanks!
  7. I know it's a long shot but I am looking for someone with a plus one extra for the Lincoln hall show. I would be eternally grateful! Thanks, Steve
  8. Bump... again, I know it's a long shot but if anyone has an extra for Lincoln Hall I would be eternally grateful! Thanks! Steve
  9. Hey Wilco fans, Just in case anyone can't make the Lincoln Hall show and wants to see the Civic Opera House, I would consider trading a Civic Opera House ticket for Lincoln Hall, plus the difference of course. Thanks! Steve
  10. I was able to get in to the buy area many times until about 10:50 or whenever if finally said sold out but when I went to buy 1 ticket, non there. Tried immediately again and still showed the buy button and no luck. I have never refreshed that long! Wish I had gotten in. I was sitting in my car while my son was at his scout meeting. Very disappointed, would have loved to see that show. If anyone ends up with an extra, I'll surly take it off your hands! Have fun if you got tickets! Steve
  11. I know this is a long shot... If anyone may have an extra for the benefit show at lincoln hall I would be very grateful! Tried for an hour got in several times when the tickets would come available and still no luck. Only need one. Thanks, Steve
  12. Hello everyone, I saw the tickets are now $50 for the solo benefit shows, no other price option. How does that work, just says general admission... are those tickets good for all seats or just balcony? I guess what I'm asking is will it be a free-for-all now or how are they going to handle the different price level seating? Thanks, Steve
  13. Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Yeah, I'm with ya on the seating, good place to see a show! Will be there for sure! Thanks again! Steve
  14. Thanks for the info, that's what I suspected would be the case. If anyone has info on the balcony seats, that would be great! Thanks again! Steve
  15. I'd like to know that too, the front balcony seats are some of the best in the house. If I remember, the front balcony seats were reserved last time I went to one of these benefit shows? Also, are the golden circle tickets seated or standing? If seated, are they reserved or gen admission like the rest? Any info would be appreciated! Thanks, Steve
  16. Thanks! I got back into town late last night and checked ticketmaster, showed no tickets for either show, checked several times. I checked some other shows just to be sure it wasn't all of ticketmaster down for maintenance or something. I thought it was odd that they were sold out, I know the benefit shows don't sell out right away. You say the $100 balcony tickets are not available yet? I was thinking they were sold out? I will watch that thread! I'm looking to see Jeff on Saturday and Willie in Peoria the next night. Thanks again! Steve
  17. Looking for 2 tickets to the Tweedy show at the Vic preferably for the Saturday 3/23 show. Thanks, Steve
  18. I have 1, probably 2 floor tickets to the UIC Sunday show. I bought a reserved seat at a good price and my wife is unable to go. I don't want to commit to 2 tickets just yet. The one I bought is a will call that has to be transfered into my name and want to see if that pans out. I bought it from a reputable ticket seller and he assures me there won't be a problem. Anyway, I should be in Chicago by 2-3pm. I'm staying at a hotel a few miles away. Let me know if anyone, or anyone you know wants the ticket(s). No charge, unless you'd like to make a donation or buy me a beer. Just hate to see them

    UIC Chicago

    Hi everyone, I most likely have an extra GA ticket to the show on Sunday if anyone is interested, my wife can't go. I am coming from the Quad Cities area in the morning but not sure when I'm leaving yet, I will be up there fairly early though. Would anyone consider a trade for my 2 general admission tickets for one descent reserved seat? If not, we can work something out with just the extra ticket. Steve
