I went through the venue and took a bunch of pictures, let me know if anyone wants to see a certain section or anything. I can post them.

I would love to see some. I am in the 2nd row 200s for n1, second to last row of 100s for n2. But have friends in 300 grandstands, and 300 no grandstands who are worried about their views.

Anything you have would be awesome to see, as I've only done the "lawn" there.

I am in the market for two N1 tickets, if anyone has anything let me know. Not being picky.

No problem! I've got a couple more I can upload too from center of 200s and 100s. For anyone that was at the shows in 2014, the bathroom situation wasn't the best. Judging by when I went rode by there over the weekend, they have double the amount of bathrooms. The far south part of the venue (behind the large grandstand) has been pushed out like 25-50 feet. Look for more concessions and bathrooms to be around there.

You're from Peoria too? How do I not know you? Or do I?

Its not a great view. Most lawns, from my experience, don't have chainlink fences separating the lawn folk and seated folk. And most lawns aren't completely flat like this one. I still don't think it will be as bad of an atmosphere out there as it was in 2014. Lawn tixs on stubhub in 2014 for two sets were going for basically nothing so it was easy for someone to pull the trigger when all they were going to do was drink underage with their buddies and get sick three songs into the first set.

I have 2 tickets to metallica GA for chicago for sale if anyone is interested

Honestly I'd much rather have a rowdy atmosphere than be surrounded by people sitting in lawn chairs like some were in Nashville.

I was up front in 2014 but I seem to remember a giant structure blocking the middle front of the lawn? Not sure though

You are right about the giant structure. It is the lighting towers with a big screen attached to it. Just off to the sides of that are better view.

[taydogg123]

Anyone receive live nation/ticketmaster tickets yet? Can't remember ever not having them by now.

[MtSkier]

What was face value for each of the pavilion sections? Trying to figure out what are good deals since I have zero tickets so far lol.

Got mine at the beginning of March. You should call them.

Thanks for pictures. Really appreciate it. I'm near the front of 205 one night, so if you have a pic from that area that would be great. But thanks for you already uploaded.

I have 200s and they were $85 before fees. I assume 100s were $95 and 300s might have been $75, but I'm not positive

These are great! Thanks for posting! Based on your pictures and the relative flatness of the venue, I have been thinking that the first couple of rows in the elevated grandstand sections might be better seating than the rear rows of the 200's. What would you say given that you have been there before?

I have been going back and fourth on this. If you are in 310 or 311, I think you are a little better off. But one thing that is shitty about the grandstand is that everyone is walking in front of you to get to the sides of the grandstand. So if you are first couple rows in grandstand, that could bother some people.

[camptravisr]

Are sections 301-305 covered? I noticed in some pictures they were covered previously with VIP tables above them. I noticed the seating chart only showed Rows A thru E for that side of the grandstand, meaning there are only 5 rows as opposed to the bigger grandstands on the opposite side.

My 300s were $85, but i was on the 301-305 side which is only 5 rows. Don't know if that makes a difference.

Looked at a satellite view on Google maps. Won't be covered since the sun sets in the west.

[reking]

I'd love to see your shots from Center section 100 if you have any. We are in 103.

I couldn't remember. All of the 300s may have been $85s. Not sure

[cjavors]

Around 10:15 during N1 set, there will be fireworks going from Navy Pier that are easily visible from northerly island.
