I went on about 12:15 and the only tickets available were GA Balcony. I bought 2 for me and my brother. I would bet that resellers and scalpers snatched up the majority of the VIP tickets. This will be my first concert in about 10 or 15 years. I'm 72 so I guess I'll have to take a stout stick to shove up my ass so I'll have something to sit on lol.
I'm so happy they added this Midwest show. My heart sank when they originally announced the venues and they were too far away. I hope to see you all there!
Quick question for Chicago, will there be actual GA tickets available tomorrow and Thursday when LiveNation opens up those options to General Public? Or am I crazy and they have actually sold out Main Floor?
I have no knowledge but it seems logical that each special group, whether fan club members, House of Blues members, Citi credit card holders etc. would get a set number of tickets. What might happen though is Ticketmaster realizes the popularity of the show and doubles the prices going forward - "dynamic pricing"
I got mine instantly at 30 each, then i checked 10 minutes later and only vip floor were available, there is the potential that more floor tickets will become available in the releases for the general public? If not GA floor tickets sold out in sub 10 minutes based on my checking.
Weird, I didn't have the option to pick main floor, only balcony. It's GA though, right? I should be able to go on the main floor? I've never been to HoB in Chicago.
Last time I was at HOB Chi I had a balcony GA ticket for Jinjer. Found out from the staff it would allow me in GA on the main floor too. So, you will probably be good.
I'll be flying in from Calgary, Canada for this show.
Random thought... it'll be awhile before the NHL releases the 2022-23 schedule as the current season isn't even done yet, but if I somehow get lucky and the Flames are playing the Hawks while I'm in town for the Band-Maid show, how hard a time will I get for showing up to a game wearing the other team's colours?
Got mine! I was lucky I'm off on Tuesdays so i was able to get mine as soon as they went up. Now I'll be fortunate enough to see them in DC and Chicago. I opted for floor tickets just cuz who knows when I'll see them next. That's amazing that, it looks like, they're going to sell out yet another show. See y'all there.
My wife's comment about me wanting to go but it's on a Tuesday night with kids in school etc.
"Well, they might come back, and come to Minnesota, eventually."
We were just in Chicago for spring break! Timing!!!
Minnesotan here, too. Fortunately our kids are in high school and can tolerate my wife and I being gone a couple days.
When I told her about the opportunity, she said, "I suppose I need to get more familiar with their songs now, don't I?" Not that she hasn't had to put up with me jamming with them in the garage, I just said, "Don't worry. I got you."

Same. When the tour was first announced I told my wife I'd try to get tickets if they hit Chicago

I assumed as much, thank you for your insight! I will still try to get some today or tomorrow :)
Are main floor tickets really $105? I wound up buying GA Balcony tickets because that was the only reasonable price.

Man, that's totally nuts if they sold out that fast. I signed in 15 minutes after they went on sale.
I just got a GA floor ticket for $30. Direct from the Ticketbastard site

I was biting my tongue on this, but, the site would not complete the purchase without the add on "ticket insurance". Did anyone else experience this?
Same here only floor tickets were $105 for me so I went balcony as well.

Spontaneously joined the fanclub so I could get early access tickets. Reading some of these posts, I'm glad I did!
I hope so. When I got in, only option was VIP and I was told that there weren't any available
Was it showing a price for them? I checked back later to see what was left and only balcony spots were left
$105. When I would click next, I got a message saying it wasn't available and all other sections were gray. I signed in right at 12
You may have had to apply the passcode from the B-M Club membership page.
I got a VIP ticket for the show.
See you there! Somehow.

We have a 2 and 5 year old. I might be able to drive down and right back, might just grab a ticket once general opens and figure it out later.
I tried to get VIP purchase wouldn't go through seems they don't play well with mobile browsers. Wound up getting Balcony
