September 7 & 8 : E-Street Band at Wrigley Field

http://http://www.backstreets.com/tour.html  

 

 

Not sure what to post here....just putting feelers out.

Peggy and I are pretty big Springsteen fans; we are planning on

being at (at least *near*) these two shows; i.e. we don't have

tickets (yet). If worse comes to worse, we plan to have our car

parked nearby and hang out next door at Murphy's Bleachers

to 'listen' to Bruce, Patti, and the band. Any other fans here

want to join us ? just BYOB and BYOF (we will have a cooler

in the car). Also FYI - Murphy's has really good food and outdoor seating.

 

p.s. Does anyone here (1) know if the Wrigley neighborhood night game parking

restriction applies to 'events' (i.e. both cubs night games *and* concerts, etc.)

or *just* night games ?  and (2) does anyone here live in wrigleyville and would

be willing to make a deal for a daily zone parking permit ??? (i.e. I really don't

want another ticket or god forbid get towed.

 

thanks in advance

 

Dan

Best $80 I ever spent.

Got it at 7:30PM on Saturday night from the guys in front of Box Office Tickets on the South side of Addison across from Wrigley. I went on Friday night and was outside of the fire station, too (although my friend and I walked down Sheffield toward the end of the show and the sound was better over there I think because of the open door /hole in the wall. We wished we'd figured that out earlier.) Show was so great we decided to come back on Saturday, buy tickets, and be inside Wrigley for the total experience.

I had seen the guys outside of Box Office Tickets on Friday night. I figured if they were selling bad tickets, they wouldn't still be out there. I paid face value. I don't know how they make money.

Stayed dry Saturday night, eh?  My dad and I were in 223 Friday night, and I got soaked on the field Saturday.

He apparently yucked it up with pals Chris Chelios, Tim Robbins, Kerry Wood and Theo Epstein at Stanley's on Armitage after the shows as well, as has been customary when he's in town for a gig. I need to stake that place out next time he's in town.

Lookin' good, especially night 2.

If I'd have had any idea Eddie would be there I'd be at least $120 poorer right now.

Yep, stayed dry but part of me wished we were getting wet, too: he made it look so wonderful!

How do you compare Friday and Saturday and how do you compare 223 and the field (standing or sitting?)? I was thinking next time, I'd LOVE to get standing room tickets.
