Well on 8/15 you'll know where to find us . . . nothing stimulates the economy like road trips.

So I will be trying my luck on TicketMaster tomorrow morning. For those who have been to Toyota before, where do the $29 (cheap tickets) put you? There is no lawn right?

Thanks! and good luck to everyone tomorrow morning!

There is an upper deck to the right of the stage and spans the entire right side of the field. However the upper deck section closest to the stage is not $29. THere are few $29 range tickets that put you to the right and waaaaaaaay back.

In my opinion it would be a waste to target them. Come what may we take what the Ticketmaster Gods grant us and we appreciate it. With so few $29 dollar seats available while you hassle for them the next ticket level is around $80 I think and those Good seats will be shut out. So then when shut out of $29 seats you then get stuck with bad $80 tickets.

Alright I might try and shoot for the $80 ones then. When you use ticketmaster do you ever just click best available, or do you specify the price level you want? In the past I have just picked lawn tickets, but this is a little different venue than I'm used to being a soccer stadium and all!

Thanks!

I always go best available . . .

Last year it gave me 10th row. Unfortunately, my wife got tickets too and we exceeded the "household limit" per Live Nation and we got to keep row 50 tickets but I lost my row 10 . . . .

It appears I have coordinated my group . . . 28 tickets. We have some waiting a bit and possibly hoping for tickets come concert day . . . No extras to be purchased and no one on the hook for someone elses ticket.

Last year we were stuck with a few right up until concert day. It sucked.

Recovery? C'mon.......go for it.....I want to get a chance to share a drink and meet you all. I am thinking next year I will have to try and really make it there by you to get a "lawn" fix. Floor space available? Until then though.....all us Chicago people would love to have you here. :D :D :D
