Making only my 2 nd trip to wrigley ever, and I am not a Chicago guy. Can anyone suggest a hotel that is easy (relatively-coming from south) to drive to and with very short walk to the train? I was actually thinking of staying out by o'hare, but just don't know the city well.

Most of the downtown hotels are 30min ride on the red line from Wrigley.

Unless you have the 'been there, done that' attitude about Chicago or a money/schedule thing is pushing you to stay near the airport, you should stay in the city. There's tons to do. If you are going solo, there will be lots of pit-organized PJ themed events you can attend to meet people. Don't let the fact that Chicago is 'Merica's murder capital scare you either. There will be huge crowds that will act like herds of Gazelles to protect you as long as you don't appear sick or weak.

Gotcha. I can't even get the show to appear in tickets.com, so I don't know how successful I am going to be on 09.Feb.

Area resident pre-sale is today, I think. Those bastards can buy 6 tickets.


But seriously, can any one find this show on tickets.com?

It's tomorrow. The same is for Cubs season-ticket holders.

Do residents need a special code or just some proof of address?

You need to have been a part of a Lakeview Residents Association mailer from the Cubs. They're being mailed a code. With respect to Cubs ticket holders, I believe each code is unique.

I heard the resident presale for Bruce were generally pretty bad tickets (terrace/upper box reserved)

Yeah, in my experience, you don't get choice seats in these pre-sales. They're pretty staggered, and usually in the upper reserved.

Is there a date you need to have been receiving the mailer to be eligible?

It will be interesting if the band tries to do "local" presales with other media orgs in other cities (and piss a ton of people off). Boston Phoenix maybe?

I think this was all the Cubs doing, and the band absolutely no say in it whatsoever.

Ah, the dreaded virtual waiting room. I'm not sure what's worse, this thing with Tickets.com or the 10 Club's lottery system.
