N2's usually tend to be the better shows, more often than not I'd say. N2 will probably be a slightly tougher ticket being Sat rather than Fri.

    And there's the pending charge. $523. Should be 2 pits for each night. Hopefully they stick.

    Looking at the Wrigley Field concert schedule, it is very lackluster this year. I wonder if they tried but their tour schedule wouldnt fit dates available at the ball park. I hope someday they will get to play there again.

    A one night show at Wrigley would make more money than two shows at NI. Maybe next year.

    Pearl Jam will be playing Wrigley so that'll make that schedule look better.

    I know they have two shows in August. I like Pearl Jam, but i dont think enough to pay the prices. Ill be at sportscorner listening for free.

    Plus 3rd time in 6 years, kind of lost their luster playing there.

    I actually agree with most of this but their just so damn good that idc. I couldn't get tickets in '13 and didn't wanna pay the secondary market prices. In '16 I was only able to get ticks for the Monday show and it was just so damn good. Solidified my feelings to never miss them again if they come through Chicago. I do agree the 3 times in 6 years is kind of goofy. Would actually prefer they went back to Alpine tbh. That was my first time seeing them- at PJ20 at Alpine.

    How so? 1 night at Wrigley = approx 40,000 tickets, 2 nights at NI = approx 60,000 tickets.

    A vast majority of those seats are cheap lawn seats. The ticket prices would be more expensive at Wrigley and with only 1 show, sell out.

    I doubt they will sell out both shows at NI, especially on Friday. Lawn seats will be available.

    If that makes sense.

    Just checked the Ten Club page: Wrigley confirmed for rumored dates. August 18th and 20th. Labor Day weekend at Fenway too.

    How can you tell if it’s PIT or reserved? Both are the same price, no? I requested two pits and have pending charges

    Yeah there's no way to tell, could be pit or reserved. Or one of each.

    If they break up a request for a pair, then that is the most irrational thing I coat think of.

    Sorry, didn't mean one ticket of each, I meant a pair of Pit one night and a pair of reserved one night.

    Yeah could be front reserved I guess. I just figured PIT given the size. We'll all know after the weekend.

    Been to NI many times, but never parked VIP. There was no option to purchase parking through the Warehouse. Is it just through Ticketmaster? Pay at the lot? The lot looks tiny so I doubt there would be any availability if you just show up and try to pay there.

    Yep, just through Ticketmaster. I honestly never bother buying the VIP parking. I don’t mind the walk from soldier field.

    Thanks for the advice.

    Since we'll be visiting from NC I would prefer not to rent a car and just uber/lyft everywhere if possible. I saw an earlier post from you stating that the walk wasn't bad from the venue back to the south loop area after the show, I assume it's straightforward enough to just hit up some bars in south loop or another walkable area from the venue and then just uber or lyft back to wherever we're staying late that evening?

    Thanks again.

    Uppers for both nights. Does this include the grandstands? May hold out to see if either of those seats fall there. Thoughts?
