I saw Coldplay the first night they played last Summer.  There was a severe thunderstorm going into the venue.  No opening acts but Coldplay came on and played.  I was so happy and even starting to dry off a bit.  Then I felt a raindrop.  After they finished the song they were playing, Chris Martin said they had to leave and would come back out in an hour.  Nope.  Someone came out and whispered to him.  He then said, "I guess not.  We'll give them one more song.", and they played A Sky Full Of Stars.  Ironic.  Then he said, "That's it folks.  We're sorry.  Why is it raining?  I thought it was Summer right now.".  It was funny until I realized we got 2/3 of a show.

It depends on lightning.  If it's a thunderstorm with decent lightning, they have to shut it down.  I was so bummed until I realized I could call TM and have them get me comps for the next night.  WRONG.  I argued for hours with TM as the show should not have taken place.  The line of storms moving in stretched over three states.  It never should have taken place but for dollar bills.  It poured for three hours.  The buses could not move.  Traffic stood still.  It was a mess.  Again, it's the promoter who makes the rules and leaves the dirty work to those at the venue.

I was there for this too. The Soldier Field employees were rude, unaccommodating and were even swearing at people (!) to leave. Have a backup plan, just in case!

It looks like I will have 1 GA for 6/29. No phone no's, please use PM - mods

It's gone.

Face value.

I can't think of a reason why they'd do that, but you never know. It'd be more likely that they were spotted at someone else's concert on a off day. They don't "owe" Chicago a make-up show like LA.

There were 6 dates reserved originally, so that 6th show that never happened could have been a Friday or Saturday.

This is ridiculous. Tickets that I bought thinking they were at one end of the arena are now at behind the stage. How is that not dishonest? Or irresponsible at best?

1. It's not that far from downtown. I guess it depends on if you want to pay the $23 for parking and deal with traffic or not. Leaving the UC is kind of annoying if you don't pick the right lot.

2. I've seen plenty of cabs but never had to take one.

I actually got caught in the caravan in the last tour. We left as Moment of Surrender was starting and by the time we made it out of the lots, several black SUVs with police escorts were honking at us to get out of the way.

 

would expect they will add an additional 3 nights to Chicago.

The NHL may throw a monkey wrench into that though. Playoffs could go through late June and Hawks will be in contention for playoffs- maybe not finals- they may have to wait till playoff picture is better before United will open up days?

 

They go through mid June. The first show isn't until the end of June. They are fine.

That's for inventory purposes only

I let my subscription lapse for a week last month and have been paid up for the last 14 years. I'm in the second group now. I was paid up on 9/9. There has to be a better system than this.

I let my paid-up subscription lapse for a week or two in November but I'm fully paid up now and was as of 9/9. I should go into the Experience group right? I'm just worried that I did upgrade after 9/9, it will count it as Innocence even though it was fine on 9/9.
