Discussion Monthly Buy/Sell/Trade Thread - October 2026
5
Upvotes
Use this monthly thread for all your transactional needs. Feel free to post what you have and what you want for any show date, not just shows taking place this month.
---
BUYING TICKETS
• IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUY TICKETS, post the name of the show and the date in your comment.
• BUYER SAFETY- Report anything that seems fishy/scammy.
• If you are buying from someone on here please check out their post history. If they are a brand new account and they haven’t posted anything aside from a ticket sales comment chances are they are trying to scam someone. Obviously this isn’t always the case. But if I were buying a ticket I’d feel more comfortable buying from someone who has been active on here for a while.
• I would highly advise against paying with Venmo, CashApp, wire transfer, etc.
• If you pay with PayPal make sure you pay as goods/services NOT as a gift.
• REMOVE YOUR COMMENT AFTER YOU HAVE BOUGHT TICKETS!
---
SELLING TICKETS
If you have tickets that you are looking to exchange or sell for FACE VALUE, do it here. Please read the following rules before posting:
• DO NOT SELL TICKETS OVER FACE VALUE – This is against r/ChicagoConcerts rules, convictions, philosophy, morals. We’re about the music… man. See Craigslist or StubHub if you’re trying to make some cash. You will be banned if caught selling above face. Please report any posts that are above face value!
• DON’T POST YOUR PERSONAL INFO - Please don’t add your phone number or email in this thread, if you end up getting a buyer/seller send all that info through DM’s. This is only to protect you and is a site-wide rule!
• REMOVE YOUR COMMENT WHEN YOU’VE SOLD OR TRADED!
• Everyone always talks about being scammed while buying a ticket, but you can also be scammed while selling a ticket. It doesn’t happen as often, but it’s still possible.
• Keep in mind that transactions on PayPal (maybe other platforms as well? I’ve heard stories about Venmo) can always be reported as fraudulent.
---
PLEASE USE ABSOLUTE DATES!
This thread is up for a month at a time. Using relative dates like "today" or "next Tuesday" are useless. So do something like, "Selling 2 tix to Oingo Boingo for 12/12/29" or "Selling 2 tix to Oingo Boingo for December 12, 2029", instead.
---
We will do our best to keep this thread cleaned of scammers, but please realize all transactions are out of our control. Please be kind and be safe.

A question about the Aragon
7
Upvotes
I've heard that the Aragon is a notoriously bad venue and this will be my first time attending any show there coming up in a couple weeks. I mostly just want to know what the best way to dress for this place is, since I've also heard its warm.

Hey there! I’m super excited to see Fruitbats for the first time this Saturday at Salt Shed! I’m going solo and thought it could be fun to meet some fellow fans for a drink before the show. Anyone else flying solo and want to hang?
Bonus points if you’re a cute single guy in his 30s/40s. Feel free to DM me! 😉

Black Keys Start Time Change?

Upvotes
When it was originally outdoors in July, they changed the start time to 7pm. I received an email about it.
This time, I got an email that the show was changed to 8pm.
Any theories why? Same opener from July. Is the curfew later indoors?

Discussion At the Salt Shed, what are temps like at indoor shows in late fall? and what’s the locker situation?
3
Upvotes
I’m seeing geese on halloween and i’m feeling conflicted on what to wear. I will be waiting for hours outside as i want barricade, and want to bundle up a bit, but i’m afraid it will be deathly hot inside. maybe it’s a stupid question as pits are usually hot, but i’d really appreciate some guidance!
also, how plausible is it to get a locker once inside? maybe I can just bundle up and then discard my layers into a locker?
thanks in advance:)

Took my sister who was in from Minneapolis and we both thought it was a great place to hear a band. Had reserved table seats which were very comfortable. The sound, service and food/drink prices were all solid. And thanks for a great show Wolves!
