    Why not Chicago?

    Bloomington and Glen Ellyn (and I group in GE)?!!! Why not Chicago where I saw 2 of my favorite concerts ever at Navy Pier and even more spectacularly at Schubas.

     

    Booooooooo

    Welcome addisonsheffield!!  They just played back-to-back shows in Chicago in March ( House of Blues) and again back last September in the monsoon.  That's pretty darn good -- 4 area shows in 1 year and don't forget Milwaukee show, too (90 miles away).  But if you can't make it out to any of those, I'm sure they'll be back in Chicago-proper soonSmile

    Being downstate....to us Glen Ellyn is the Chicago area.

     

    When do we hear about our seating for the Glen Ellyn show?

    Has anyone recieved thier tickets or information on them? I've been on vacation, thought I'd have an email about the Glen Ellyn by now. I did get a confirmation I bought the ticket.

    Re: Why not Chicago?

    I actually emailed the store a couple of days ago as I feared that I had inadvertantly deleted a message, and received the following reply:

    "We are currently finishing up the seating assignments for that show.  You should be receiving an e-mail by the end of next week with yours.  Thank-you for your patience!"

    Re: Why not Chicago?

    Congrats on your first show tickets. Sure you don't want to get tix for Bloomington-Normal as well? Yes, us roadtrippers are a bad influence. I'll be bringing concert newbies to both shows.

    Glen Ellyn venue is the College of DuPage performing arts center. Guessing that means a parking lot that might accommodate a tailgating gathering. Or a college bar across the street.

    (Still chuckling over "not Chicago" - for those of us driving hours, it's all Chicago, and no sympathy for those merely commuting to the 'burbs. :-P )
