Big Fan 2112 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Was working close to the UC today and stopped by to see if there were any upgrades available. They told me that there were only a handful of tickets left for the 300 level. So Rush will have a heck of a good crowd here in Chitown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked yesterday for a pair and the only thing was way up in the 300s. I have 2nd row center 300s (forget the exact section). Chi will likely come close to a sell out because they aren't hitting Milwaukee. All us 'Sconies are heading down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fan 2112 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 There are really no bad seats in the UC though. I often debate whether to buy close tickets of some a ways back so I can take in the whole production. Anyone eating at the stadium club before the show? If you make reservations they let you in a couple hours early. Great eats and you can pick thru the T-shirt booth before the masses come in.

The Mighty Dudad Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Just checked StubHub, and they only had 20 tickets available for tomorrow night. That's gotta be a good sign. Hoping that section 109 is a standing and rocking one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Bay Rush Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I would give one of my testicals to see Rush in Chicago. Actually, I'd give them both since I am old and don't need them any more. Chicago has always been a big-ass Rush town! That place will be packed with 18,000 Rush maniacs! Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a place called Wishbone about 10 min away I really like. If your at the UC, go east on madison to ogden, take a left to washington (next block north) then head east on washington. Its down about half a mile. Southern reconstruction food they call it......whatever it is its pretty good and reasonable. Try the shrimp on grits. When you return just go a block south to madison and back west to the UC. You wont get mugged around there. The west loop is now fully yuppyized!

eshine Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 YES! Rush and Chicago have always had a great relationship. One of their best live concerts (Different Stages) was recorded here (Tinley Park but same difference) Chicago and Milwaulkee both always promise a strong, enthusiastic crowd that are game for a show, and the fact that this is a Saturday... O boy - It's gonna be a hoot. Will give my full report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you staying? Find someplace by your hotel. There are so many places within a few miles radiance that you guys can go to - just do a search, but DONT rely on cabs nearby after the show - even a seasoned Chicagioan like myself has to walk it for a while to get one after a United Center Show. Drive or get a limo Also, don't be so spooked by the location. It's nothing compared to other areas of Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachenFoot Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Can't wait! Got my tix back in April and will be there with my buddy, who I saw my other three Rush shows with. My first Rush gig was a Saturday night in Tinley Park, and if the energy is anything like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshine Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 QUOTE (presto123 @ Sep 14 2012, 11:02 PM) Gotta try the pizza in Chicago don't you? well... I'm a resident over 25 years, but as a child of New Jersey - I am still and will always be an east coast purist. Chicago thin crust pizza is cut in squares. Nuff said. Their deep dish and pan pizza is good, but for me - nothing compares to grabbing a slice of New York Pizza, folding it and letting the grease run down your arm when you take that first bite... Heaven However, there is so much food in Chicago that kicks ass it's too hard to list. Go to a Portillos, or any beef place or someplace that offers "Vienna" Dogs" and get an Italian Beef with sweet or hot peppers. And there is no better hot dog then a Chicago red with everything. Hope you guys enjoy our big city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
