1 window, 1 tab, at 10:16 was able to proceed and get tix.

Although, I have no clue where my seats are. I chose the lower bowl, but "ADA2" isn't very descriptive. Oh well, it'll be a cool experience to say the least.

Now, how to get a poster, especially with gates opening at 5:30pm. :D
You got an ADA seat? Wow - I was trying to get one - they are for those with disabilities - given I walk with a cane and have a very messed up right leg. I am surprised you got an ADA seat - but kudos for the score. I would be bummed if they threw them into the general ticket sales, but no whining, Kudos to you my friend.

Yeah, it was frustrating and weird. At one point during my check out, the site errored and sent me back to the overlayed pop up with the continue button.
that's horribly annoying.

I'm officially looking for 2 to bring my girlfriend (who's from Chicago) if anybody has any or knows of any extras!

Thanks. Yeah, I feel like I lucked out too, given that ADA seating at Wrigley is sparse. Maybe you can try calling the box office or tickets.com (773-404-4107 or Tickets.com at 866-652-2827 (out of state) or 800-843-2827)? In the past, I've had success doing that with different venues. ADA seating is handled differently everywhere, and this was one of the first times I was able to get ADA seats online during an on sale.

Thanks - I did call and they said they were sold out - as the venue is. I am going to try back and see what's up. Again - happy that you got seats - awesome!

After seeing this was the fastest sold out event at Wrigley Field EVER!
Im GLAD ive stayed in the fanclub and had that first chance to buy tickets and didnt have to sweat getting online and fighting with all you in the virtual waiting room lol


for as much as some want to bitch about the whole ticket raffle / way the 10club has been run... I still say its biggest plus, Is its a first chance to buy the best tickets, and if you get shut out ya still have the public onsale, and secondary ticket scalpers

i really love the rm community.

christ on a bike, the pit is ridiculous. why do so many people over there feel like their individual negative experience justifies a new thread? good job to everyone here for keeping wrigley to one thread.

i can't believe people think this is the worst ticket experience ever. i took a day off for pj20 and f5ed for 8 hours and got nothing. this morning i spent an hour in a virtual waiting room trying to get a ticket for a friend. no luck, but it was over in an hour. he didn't have luck either, so if anyone has an extra anywhere in the house that they're not trying to make money off of, please pm me.

My biggest complaint with Tickets.com is that it keeps you in a virtual waiting room well past the time that tickets have sold out. It's just a big waste of time.

Not a chance. Brokers are all over this plus the wrigley novelty. Q

The waiting rooms were awful. Worse than F5'ing IMHO, because the randomness makes you feel helpless and frustrated. I glad to hear some had success with this, but I would take ticketmaster any day over that again.

Yeah, it did say the event is sold out, but the letter didn't really stand out. You'd think they'd fix that - if not for the customer experience, at least for the resources being drained on their servers.

Who knows. I was hoping it was like McCartney where they just added the 2nd show right after the 1st sold out and didn't really tell anyone. My friend was able to get like 7th row that way.

The cubs don't come back for like 10 days, so that won't hold them back. But I'm not sure and the novelty of the single show may keep it to one.

Jason Aldean is playing on the 20th.

Brokers might be the way to get tickets. As some have said, closer to the show scalpers/brokers will be looking to unload their tix.

1) Secondary Markets, the show is 6 months away, while the prices are high now. Just wait till the event get closer.
2) Some TCM are bound to have problems that cause them to cancel, just watch here or the pit over the next few months.
3) Remember to breathe, hopefully they announce a 12-13 show out in the fall.

There was a time in my fandom I would be devastated to not go to this.....i'm oddly apathetic about not having tickets.
