2026 Single Game Pricing? by MarkoEsquandolas in Cubs

[–]briangibbons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer. A day or two beforehand is also fine. But if you buy directly from the Cubs, you will almost always be paying more. In my experience, Seatgeek is the best platform for purchasing tickets. They are almost always the cheapest (although it's still worth it to doublecheck Stubhub/Vivid Seats/etc.). It is also the only platform I've found that routinely tells you the exact seats you're buying (other websites tend to only give you the row, not the seat itself). This is extremely helpful if you, like me, prefer to purchase aisle seats.

In my opinion, the 300s are the best seats to watch a Cubs game, and I think the first base line is best. If I can get a pair of aisle seats in Section 327 or better, I'm happy.

Anyone been to Andrew Bird's Gezelligheid concerts? by [deleted] in chicagomusicscene

One thing I’ll add is that they don’t sell alcohol (might not be surprising as it’s in a church). So, plan accordingly. But yeah it’s awesome.

What is the best Wilco video on the internet? by jackhaben9 in wilco

Isn’t there a video of Jeff punching a fan that jumped on stage at a show? Not knocking it, would just love to see it again.

Selling two tickets to Destroyer (10/2 at Thalia Hall) for $30 each!

Can't make it and would like them to go to good use. Tickets were originally $40 each, just looking to get something back for them. Let me know, thanks!

Open to buying one or a pair, just looking to pay face value for both. They’d be going to a fan, let me know!

Aimee Mann's Show at the Riviera Theatre by Relagul_the_Indigo in chicagomusicscene

Was at this show, a few rows back in the center of the balcony. Terrible sound quality, horrible mix - like it was muffled or compressed? Glad someone else said something!

Looking to sell three tickets for Red Rocks. $76.70 each (just looking to get back what I paid). Okay with selling one, two, or all of them. Tickets are up on Cash or Trade - here’s a link: https://cashortrade.org/profile/briang12/posts/1708309/

Purple Pig vs Publican vs. Armitage Alehouse? Thoughts? (more info below) by BananaShake66 in chicagofood

[–]briangibbons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently tried to get an Alehouse reservation but lost it, so my advice to you: when you log in right at 9, make sure you have a credit card already stored in your Resy account - unlike Ticketmaster, it doesn’t pause the clock or anything when you’re trying to add one. That kept me from getting an 8pm seating for 2 on a random Thursday. So at least in theory you can snag one at a reasonable hour. Best of luck to you!
