Chicago Theatre - Chicago, IL (June 9th, 10th, & 11th) Roll Call

[sabretoothcowboy]

The way I recall them describing the "digital roll call" presale was that more tickets would be made available for that slot, after the deluxe slot. That did not seem to be the case. A little deceptive, but whatever.

I just pulled a DD ticket in Chicago for night three. Is it worth it to get it or should I just wait for the other sales this week?

I have one already for night two.

DD is pretty good. Marked with white line in the picture. Won't get much better unless you get pit which will probably be hard during general sale

god damn that's a beautiful venue.  tiny pit too, that explains why they disappeared so quickly.

I'm in EE on the other side, but quite frankly i have some concerns about the sound and sight line from there.  The seating chart makes it look like 3L and 3R are at a much better vantage point compared to the edge of the stage than they actually are. 

Anyone ever sat in 3L or 3R at Chicago Theater?  I've only every sat loge and always loved it.

Very disappointed I wasn't able to purchase any tickets for any of the three shows with my roll call membership.

Same here.   Completely shut out of Chicago.  Been Roll Call member for 4 years.  I was on my browser for the last hour with a fiber connection and zero luck.   WTF.   Unreal.   So now I have to battle up against the public for those other tickets leftover.

Those other tix left over will be the majority of the theater. I don't believe there were many tix made available, just like for the Port Chester shows. The only thing that will probably take some work is nabbing three single show tix. As of now TM isn't showing a multi night option so that'll make for more work, but I'm betting plenty of tix are in their system, and good ones too.

If I'm a Roll Call member, and have been for four years, why do I need to even wait to battle with the public sale 4 or 5 days from now via Ticketmaster?   Shouldn't I have some avenue to purchase good tickets between now and then versus battling with non-Roll Call members?

You did have an avenue to purchase tix, you just got shut out. It's happened to us all. Management never guaranteed us tix for being RC members only an opportunity to prchase what is a limited number of them during a presale.

I wasn't trying to argue with you only tried to ease your stress with my earlier post. For PC there was a lot of RC's shutout of the presale, and lots of worries all around. Turned out they never had a lot of presale tix to offer, and everyone I know was able to get them at the general on sale.

Good luck, and I hope it works out for ya.

I took it. I've been in about the same spot before, but I was just wondering if it's going to be that hard to get pit in the other sales. I grabbed it and figured that this way I'll only have to try hard for one pit ticket for the first night rather than scramble for multiple nights later this week.

My memory is not great... are we 100% that the public sale is through Ticketmaster?

Work blocks me from accessing Ticketmaster from in-office...

Tried at 10 o'clock sharp and no chance. Were there like 8 tickets total made available for everyone to try for?

Gloriously, persistence has paid off. Somehow managed to walk away with the first two nights long after the 10am hit. Going to have to shoot for the third night via the public on-sale.

I got shut-out of the Knoxville, Tenn. pre-sale (issues with my laptop, then had to switch to another desktop...too late). So, I tried for Chicago, night 3. I got myself a really good seat - Main Floor 4L, Row CC, Seat 407. From the looks of it, my seat should be only 3 rows behind the Pit seating and just slightly to the left of center (when facing the stage). I'm pretty happy with it.

Also, I guess they will be mailing us the tickets. That is much better than "Will Call" as far as I'm concerned.

Nice! I thought maybe it was only the multi night tix getting shipped but evidently not. Seems it's this whole three night run.  every other show I bought today is the usual RC Will Call pickup. ( MPP, St.Augustine, Orlando)

[Stevie]

Yeah, i think it was much easier to get those close center seats by searching for one night at a time.  Good job.

If anyone has any extras for these 3 shows please let me know.  Would like to lock some down before the TM Public sale.

It's perfectly fine. Obviously it's not completely center stage, but you won't have problems seeing.

I tried for 3 nights for a single ticket and got all three nights Section 3R Row GG. Was hoping for PIT but I'm definitely not gonna complain.

I have to say I'm glad my friends bailed out and chose to go to Milwaukee as maybe that helped me get a seat each of the three nights.

CHIMMJFAN

Nice!  You got the same tickets that i got except you are on Jim side and i'm on Carl side..

Awesome! Yeah I can't wait, I'm just happy to get a ticket that was stressful!

Nice! We'll be neighbors for these shows. I got a three nighter in FF on that side too. Bonus is they're being shipped so I'll have hard tix in hand, and won't have to worry about eating them if work throws a monkey wrench in my plans. Right now all looks good for my first ever visit to Chicago.

Very cool, neighbor! Yeah I love having the tix in hand prior to the show. Our seat location is going to be great, although I prefer PIT these seats at Chicago Theatre are gold!

At first It seemed like I was shut out but I kept on refreshing. Was only able to get one 3-day pass. Was hoping to score 2 tix each for a few buddies of mine. If anybody is looking for 1-3day pass, I think I'm going to try my luck during the public sale on Saturday. I will sell them for what I paid. They are section 3R, row R. It's one ticket for all 3 nights. Again i Would really like to go with some friends so that's why I'll let these guys go and take my chance on Saturday. Already have tickets locked in for milwaukee

[DickTremayne]

Got section 3L row DD for night 1. I still may try for GA at the public sale since I'll be flying solo. Either way should have a great view. Can't wait!

[logan5ive]

1.  I have an extra for 6/10 in Section Main Floor 3L, Row DD.  I'll trade it for a single for 6/9 or a single for 6/11.

2.  Anybody have any info on the presale for Friday at 10am through TM?

[LB]

regular sale is saturday? why the fuck do they do the presale when everyone is at work and sell to the public on the weekend?

[Taterbug]

I really dislike having to scramble for tickets during a busy work day.  It worked out though, I just put my phone off the hook  ,  I got row EE.  Very Happy    Sorry to hear about all war stories regarding this presale.  I must have just gotten lucky.
