If I had to summarize my #U2ieTour CHI-5 eXperience in 1 photo, it would be with this one!

worse case Cory, come in super early and hang out in the GA line, maybe someone has some tickets available without robbing you Also, it's safe to check out Ticketmaster, they MAY let out some tickets out... ( I know they STILL have some, if you REALLY need to go. Level 300 is not as bad, as long you are not behind the stage)

If you have a parking pass, use it! Park the car in the indicated lot, make sure you have your pass and/or confirmation number on the dashboard, and... take a photo of your car with the paperwork in it, just so you have some proof in case something happens (which it shouldn't) Directions should be indicated on your email confirmation, and driving your own car is WAY MORE convinient than dealing with a Taxi/Bus/CTA/Uber.

Hey GA CHI-1 OPENING NIGHT friends, what times did you surveyed the first U2 GAers to be in-line you came in? I have my GA for 2nd JULY and I wonder at how EARLY I should come in to have to (possibly) the rail and the best view in the house? I did GA for U2 360 in 2011 and I was number 604 showing up around 9:30am at Soldier Field, and I was probably 2-3 line in front by the rail, so I'm wondering how I can get closer for this tour. Also, I'm pondering of maybe trading my GA for a RZ or maybe a Level 101 to 112 because of health reasons (cancer) and I am not sure if I will be able to be in-line of an extreme amount of time that usually, the GA experience is. I will be at tonight's show, which I ended up winning on the radio station The Loop 97.5 on the Mancow show... The radio station didn't told me what type of tickets they were, but they mentionned maybe Level 300 (which is a very high view) but definitively a new experience to enjoy. Good luck GAers, I know couple more hours till victory, I have been in the trenches and I support you guys

hey Manohlive, how much were the tickets initially? Ticketmaster is listing the Level 100 around $275.00 all around, but I doubt they were THAT expensive.

I can confirm as well! Pretty good news for those who wants to have a GA ticket and be close to the action. GA is great! I did it for Chicago U2 360 back in 2011, for $65.00 as of 10:40am its (if you can show up early) one of the best seats in the house! I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same for dates.

From experience on U2360 in 2011 at Soldier Field, I had a GA ticket too and showed up like 9am early. I simply decided to take the CTA because it was the most economical and best in value without worrying I would overpay for parking or it to be expired. I can recommend ParkWhiz which is a website/app you can use to pre-pay and reserve your parking in various park of Downtown and the vicinities. Super convinient, a fair priced parking like $15 generally for up to 8hrs, some available with valet. Extended time/hours are available, depending where you will go. Depending on the venue, the parking and prices will fluctuate but probably the best value instead of paying $25 and up for a parking spot. At the end of the day, all depends on how much you are prepared to invest, and how comfortable you want you stay/experience you want it to be. www.parkwhiz.com www.spothero.com
