Don Henley - Chicago 9 November

I am, if I can get a good seat.

Maybe it was because I got it at the venue and not through ticketmaster, but my ticket for the first Chicago concert was $200. A $40 difference in prices from that one to the one several months later is significant, I think - especially since the other shows they were doing still cost the lower price with the exception of dates in New York and thereabouts. Of course, I'm pretty cheap!

I just looked at an old thread and realized I paid $185 for my Eagles ticket in Chicago, not $200. The third Chicago Eagles show was a $55 dollar difference from the first two, not $40. That's a 30% hike. I'm just bringing this up for the interests of accuracy - but it does seem to be lining up with the fact that the Chicago Henley show has prices comparable to Atlantic City rather than those in Canada and Virginia.

There hasn't been too much promotion for this show that I've heard. Only the one commerical on the radio... and finally, just today, they have put up Don's pic and date on the billboard in Rosemont.

I'm still toying w/this show... I can't make up my mind.

Wow, if at all possible, you should go. Don puts on a great show!

Yeah, I checked (just for grins) on tickets over the weekend, and was offered 5th row (right side of the stage) seats for a hefty price.



I'd love to go, but not for the ticket price PLUS lodging and gas.

I can certainly understand the pricing issue. It came as a surprise that I would have the chance to see him in only a few weeks time so I took my chances, paid $150 for the seat, forgot about lodging and spent the rest of the night after the show at Miami International Airport. Not so bad as there was a tv and other folks to keep me company. For me it was worth it. He does put on one heck of a show.

Being just 12 days away, has anyone decided on going to this show for sure yet? To be honest, I'm still teetering myself. I haven't even checked for tickets in over a week. Although, I did try to win them from a radio station yesterday. Sadly, I was not caller fifteen.

[sodascouts]

I've decided I'll attend if I get a good seat. I'm going to do the walk-up on the day-of as usual, but if I can't get up front, I'm not shelling out that kind of money.

Soda, that takes so much courage for that drive! I'd hate for you to make the drive and not get a good seat. Then it seems like "wasted time". I sure hope you get what you are looking for. The pit, right? I'd be happy w/first ten rows. Only because it appears that every seat in the house is pretty decent... but not all up close and personal.

[sodascouts]

True, true. OK, I'll get a cheap seat if I can't be right up front. You still get to hear the music back there even if you don't have as much fun, so it's all good and it won't be a wasted trip. If you go, let me know and we'll meet up again!
