jdog44 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Just saw that they are listing 1500 tickets for the United Center show. Thats the worst sh*t i have seen in my life when I sit here and read how on this thread TRUE fans didn't get a chance for GA or 100 level seats. Seriously, this is beyond screwed up. How is this legal?! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyperAssassin Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 .... as for the deep dish pizza, you're not supposed to pick it up its a knife + fork all the way. I prefer Lou Malnati's butter crust with sausage, personally Can't go wrong with Lou Malnati's either. I prefer the cornbread crust of Gino's.

Capt. Wizzy Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 all due respect to gino's east, because it's a fine-a pizza pie, but for my money there is no better pizza in chicago than giordano's. nothing else comes close, imho. there's also plenty of hot spots around the city to party at after the show. wrigleyville is always a blast - check out the wild hare if you dig good reggae. the green mill (broadway and lawrence) is always a killer spot for some late-night jazz (until 5AM). honestly, no matter what your pleasure is, you'll find it in spades in downtown chicago. killer city.

Tip: Call to make a reservation, they only accept cash and an hour before your reservation call in and tell them what you want so its ready when you get there (they prefer that). Its a small, old, run-down, shack of a place but the food is fantastic and Burt's wife does all the serving/cleaning up. its awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnocuousBlonde Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I'm all for threadjacking in the name of good food. Now that I have tickets nailed (no thanks to any presale, ) I have to pick out the hotel and some must-have food ventures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josi Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 how early is everybody going to wait in line? lol i'd like to get as close as possible is there coat check for this gig? first muse concert!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSheaman Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hey, if I'm trying to get in the 100 level seats, which makes more sense to you guys: closer to the stage but on the side, further away from the stage but facing front, or somewhere in between? I don't know what the stage looks like so I'm not sure what gives me the best view and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix1342689 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Oh my god. 3 GA's. I don't believe it. Almost embarrassed to say it...But...Thank god for stub hub. 100$ per ticket isn't THAT bad when you consider a) how often Muse comes to the US and b) how AMAZING this concert is gonna be.

Pistol Star Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I DID I DID. Well actually my dad did. BUT I DID I DID. Yay! Maybe we can stand next to each other during the gig. I might start queuing up earlier than I originally planned (1pm) as I want to get to the barrier as quickly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might start queuing up earlier than I originally planned (1pm) as I want to get to the barrier as quickly as possible. wait seriously 1pm?!?! how many opening acts are there? i only see silversun pickups listed on the united center page and since the show starts at 7:30 i was hoping to at least get a short dinner/bar outing before getting in line. i also have GA spots and would love to watch from the rails but waiting for 6+ hours doesn't seem feasible.

DJ Stay Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 If you're wanting to get a few drinks beforehand at a nice establishment, I would suggest the "Cut Throat Bar". A beautiful Polish ran bar that got its name in the 70s when a man actually got his throat slit while in the bar. Where English is not preferred, the rum and cokes are strong as can be for $3, and signs of the Latin Kings can be seen in numerous spots, this is the place to go. As for pizza Gino's East has always been a personal favorite. Giordano's is good but I don't think it's as good. I have yet to gone to Lou Malnati's but I have heard from a friend that lives there that it is the best. Another great Chicago staple would be the Italian beef sandwich, along with a Chicago style Vienna hot dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about how long we waited last time. Though we had people hold spots and whatnot for us to get food, get a new tire, bug the shit out of Chris while he's got a pissed off look on his phone, and deal with a crossdresser.

That butter crust...oh man...that butter crust. Gotta say: I do like how the comraderie around our marvelous city's pizza offerings has, at least for a brief moment in time, allowed many of us to forget (or ignore) the fact that we got dicked by Ticketmaster.
