they're asking for wow factor for the SCS.

let's try going all out and getting them to play at dawn straight through on night 3.

WE CAN DO IT. YES, WE CAN!

Throw in a Thank You Too! for good measure! Also, Rollin' Back opener?

Looking for some more advice from the local Chicago peeps here. 

What's the best way to get from O'hare to downtown? My hotel lists cabs, shuttles, and the train with approximate prices for each . The cabs look a bit crazy price wise, and the shuttles aren't that bad,IMO. The train is by far the least expensive but is that really a good option?

Right now I'm leaning towards one of the shuttles but any input would be appreciated. 

[sabretoothcowboy]

The train is definitely the way to go. It is right at the airport and is a straight shot to downtown. Takes about a half hour. The Clark/Lake stop is a few blocks from the venue.

Your hotel should have a free shuttle to the airport and then the train is 2.25 a ride (might be 5 now from O'hare) There are kiosks at the train station where you can get a train card and load the funds on it.

[Crispy]

As a non-local who has flown into O'hare several times, I concur: the train is definitely the way to go. Yeah, you're on a train (you get what you pay for), but it's easy breezy if you're traveling light. With more luggage, you'd probably want a shuttle.

Thanks guys.

It looked easy but I just wanted to be sure, and not have something quirky involved that would make it a headache.  Flying in on show day is more than enough of one for me.

Oh man, no joke. I broke my own rule last Friday flying into Atlanta on the same day as the show in Athens. I made sure it was the earliest morning flight so I had about 10 hours to get to the Georgia Theater from ATL, but I was still nervous.

Yeah man, I did the same thing. Grabbed the first flight out in the AM putting me in Chicago around 8:00. Staying right up the street from the theater so that part won't be bad, it's the dreaded airlines fuck up that I hate. Luckily I have some time built in for that just in case, but definitely don't like flying in the day of the show.

Thanks for this info, guys. Flying in early afternoon on the 9th. Small bit of nerves but putting out positive vibes for on time and on point.

I was trying to ensure my tickets are in order for Chicago and thought I'd share.

My ticket for night 1 came from the Roll Call presale and, according to my dashboard, was shipped via USPS on May 15.

My ticket for night 2 came from the Gilt presale.  If you did this, go to Gilt.com, sign in, and print your voucher.  That is your ticket.  Print your voucher!!!

My ticket for night 3 came from general on sale via Ticketmaster and was mailed to me weeks ago.  Who'd have thunk Ticketbastard would be least aggravating?

[ericm]

You know you're dealing with a bunch of incompetents when Ticketbastard is the best of the three!

I've got a good one too. Today my tix for Chicago arrived. Or should I say ticket?  I purchased the 3-day tix during the RC presale, and in the envelope today there was only the Wednesday ticket! WTF?     seriously, you can't make this shit up. 

Even funnier is my packing slip clearly states it's the 3-day ticket. How hard is it to make sure all THREE tix are in the envelope?

Is it the same seat you have for all three nights?  It's possible you use the same ticket, I have seen this before.  Not saying that is the case here, but it's possible.

Yes, it's the same seat,and I thought the same thing at first but it's definitely just the Wednseday ticket. Single date printed on it, and same for admission price.

I contacted WU, and their response is they will have to look into it further, and get back to me. Anyone want to guess the over/under time for that? Lol!

[billadelphia]

My flight arrival is scheduled for 7:15 AND I'm flying Frontier.  Ha, should I just sell my ticket now?

Also, is 7:30 doors or show?

Just talked to them.  They said to expect the other two tickets in the mail soon.  Said they wouod send out a notification to clear up any confusion.

Well thanks for that but pretty funny they offered that info up to you but haven't bothered to follow up with me. No phone call or email. Just "we'll have to look into it further, and get back to you."

[ericm]

Well it looks like I'm not the only one who didn't get all three tix. They just emailed me this boiler plate response, and I hope they mean me too since I got the Wednesday ticket but not the first like they're saying or the last night.

Why is my first instinct I'll be getting night three but have to go through this again for night1?
