Blue Line to Damen stop leaves you with about a 5 block walk to the UC. Easy to get ther. Kind of tricky to find on the way out though especially if you've been drinking and getting lost over there is not wise.

Good luck getting a cab after a UC event lol.

If you're staying in the city without transportation, I recommend pre-partying at the medical district bars, taking their shuttle bus (no more than $5 rt ) to the UC and then a quick cab back to your hotel.

Yes, it would be about a 5 min walk. They are very close to each other.

[Keyz]

YES!!!!!!! This is gonna be a blast.

[BlueWater13]

So has anyone done the vip/premium tickets lately? just wondering if they are actually worth the money.

That's probably the closest (decent) hotel to the UC. I'd say it's probably a 15 min walk right down Madison.

Any of the hotels in the loop would be fine too, just not really walkable to the UC. Cabs will be easy to find from anywhere in the city on the way to UC, but after the show they'll be tough to find.

Check out the crown plaza on Halsted and Madison. Great Hotel, not too expensive. right there.

Are we thinking that it will be easier to get GA Floor tickets over 1st Reserved section tickets? (For a 3rd year Warehouser.)

[uro55]

Mid week ain't the best, but gonna try for this one,

[TMoore4075]

OK I wan all kinds of opinions if I were to stay at the crowne plaza at Madison and Halsted, best way to get to the UC and best advice for getting back there after?

[Wicklutz52]

All it says on the DMB warehouse site is

Premium ticket package United Center
GA FLOOR STANDING:$250.00
Reserved 1: $250.00

Two ticket minimum per package

So is the premium package just the one ticket? I really don't know.
Now reading this it sounds like the premium package is 250.00$ and you can get 1 or 2 tickets.

[TMoore4075]

Premium package is one ticket plus the extra crap.

and all the stuff that says two I'm guessing would be one if you got just one ticket.

The ticket(s)
one VIP Parking Pass
two limited edition full zip Columbia fleece jackets
two limited edition tour posters, silk screened, numbered and signed by the poster artist
two souvenir laminated passes and on site concierge/gift pickup.

You have to buy 2, so it's $500 plus fees

oh I didn't even read the two ticket minimum so then yeah $500 and you get two of everything plus one VIP parking pass.


So if you are a loner you are not a VIP.

Any idea on how much floor GA will be? How many we'll be able to order? I couldn't stand the 2 person maximum for pit this summer, I had to scramble on shitnation right as they went on sale to get more for friends.. I'm hoping somewhere aorund 90-100 per ticket but hoping for a max of 4 (fingers crossed)

[Alpinevalley04']

10 min walk from my place, going to ride my bike to the show, fuck yea!!!

I thought I saw $85 and the limit will be more I'm sure. Thought I read 6 somewhere but don't quote me. Floor is a lot bigger than pit so they'll let you get more tickets.

This pleases me...

[TMoore4075]

Doesn't say the limit but here are the prices:

GA Floor Standing: $85.00
Reserved 1: $85.00
Reserved 2: $75.00
Reserved 3: $39.50

[couldihavebeenU]

Will we get the Lumineers for an opener? Seems like they aren't scheduled for anything around this time but I would think they would have already listed them as they did for the other shows.

any early suggestion if you have a better chance at being confirmed GA or Reserved 1? I want to try for whatever is going to be easier.

This is totally new so I have no idea. Everything used to be the same price or reserved and now they've got this tiered system which if you get declined for one level they'll take you down to the other one. So if you don't get tickets for GA you get level 1, if you don't get level 1 they'll give you level 2 and same for level 2 to level 3.

I wish I could give you a good answer.
