I know the markups this guy will pay for show posters he doesn't have to wait in line for. Make sure to charge him a handsome finders fee for yourself.

We just got into the merch line. Way shorter than I expected it to be (for now).

Best merch experience we've ever had. In line for maybe 45 minutes tops. Got everything we wanted other than mystery boxes. The line is super short right now.

I’m thinking of leaving work in St. Paul at noon and driving to the park n ride on Rogers Ave and taking the Red line down to Addison. The ramp is $6 for 12 hours. Does this sound right or feasible? Am I missing something? Parking anywhere near Wrigley is $150 minimum on Spot Hero.

Park in the garage across from the Vic Theatre (4 blocks south of Wrigley). It’s $45 for special events.

Good tip. I think I went with a different one, but I don’t mind walking 20 minutes. Beats trying to cram into the train car.

Where are your seats? If you’re close, I’ll let you buy me a beer.

it doesn’t specify in their social posts.
i assume it's in the same spot as the last times, which is in the players' parking lot on Sheffield in the right field corner.

I’d be happy to buy you one on Saturday if you’re close. I’ll be in GA for that one. For tonight I went with section 414, row 1. I’ve been to every PJ Wrigley show, mostly with great fan club seats, and I want to see the entire scene once.
