The amount of hotels around there are ridiculous, and the prices are even more ridiculous.
Go to googlemaps, enter HOB Chicago, and search nearby hotels, there are tons in walking distance.
Ah! Once again, thanks for the tip. Not sure if I'll be doing a hotel now in light of the Detroit show but I'm gonna go check hotel pricing anyway. |

Surprisingly it's not that much. I was finding stuff between $120 and $180.
I have to see where the finances fall after I (hopefully) get Detroit tickets in a half hour. I may still get the hotel room if for no other reason, I'll have a place to park and maybe crash for a bit if I need / want to after the show before having to drive back to Detroit.

Downtown is pretty safe. The L is easy to use . You can get really good deals on some of those discount websites. A Sunday night in February is not going to be sold out.  |

Ya we got downtown about 2 miles from HOB for $115. cant beat that!!! Im starting to get real pumped up!! cant wait for this show!! Im real fortunate to get to see GN'R live 3 times the last 4 months! I was about 8 rows back from center stage for All State Arena in November, didnt think i would get to be back down in the "pit" ever again!! I was watching the old Acoustic show at the L'Arc from 2010, i really hope we get a few acoustic songs! I have never got to hear "Used to Love Her" or "Your Crazy" live would LOVE to get that surprise  Cheers guys 12 more days till "Up close & personal"  |

I went with regular mail for Chicago because UPS was about double price (I think?) but when I bought VIP for Detroit today, UPS and mail were the same price so I just did UPS. |

One of those dumb questions, but does anyone have a GA ticket for sale at face value for this show?  |

Looking at the size of the Roseland show, the chicago HOB is WAY smaller, Roseland looks like a mini Hammerstein, Chicago HOB is gonna have the roof blown off, cant wait

I was looking at that too. HoB would almost fit inside Roseland.

I would say the main floor at HOB in Chicago holds 500 people, isnt the capacity 1300? I dont even consider that Roseland show up close and personal, im sure its cool, but looks like a basic theater venue, glad i wasnt at that one.

I think capacity is 1400, but still - much, much, smaller than roseland.

Here is some info from the Chicago HOB website.
HOB is a 1300 person capacity four story venue. The restaurant is below the music hall. There are 14 private boxes on the 3rd and 4th floor.
There is a no flash photography policy.
All videotaping requests must be arranged with HOB at least 3 days prior in advance.A release or contract must be signed for videotaping.
The Chicago HOB is modeled after a European Opera House.

Silver as well, and nothing yet. I may call Ground ctrl Monday on my lunch break for clarification on what's up.
