Sadly I don't think I can splurge that much.

I got some sick floor seats for face value on the MLB site yesterday 

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised that the fees weren't as bad as the resale sites.

How much are the fees? I'm eyeing a $129 ticket that I may be able to swing as long as fees aren't crazy.

For pit, it was a base of $229, with a final of $283.

I have a bone to pick with the MLB site. Cause why is one suppose to pay $3.25 to have their ticket on the Ballpark app?? A joke of a delivery fee, and not the first mobile ticket fee I’ve seen, unfortunately. 

[The Grohl]

I've resorted to camping out on StubHub to find cheap tickets...and I'm still being picky I don't need to be in the pit, but dammit I don't want a pole in my way!

Hey....so guess who's going to see the boys tomorrow?

I really needed some good news. Things are hard, my bf was laid off from his job and I'm stuck at mine for a bit, so I figured I could easily sacrifice other shows I was thinking about going to this year and see Green Day instead. And hey, not a bad section either. I was really hoping I would win tickets or get invited, but the stars didn't align. So at least for a night I'll be able to forget about my troubles.

Yea!  Glad you're going.  Green Day heals all.

Went ahead and got a pit ticket. Hopefully Billie posting about soccer is a good sign that he's okay. 

@The Grohl there's tickets available on the MLB site now, regular price.

 

I’m imagining him off in the corner, not allowed to speak so he’s just rapid-fire Instagramming. 

[Zebahar]

Any word about Billie’s health going into tomorrow? I’m traveling a bit over the next month or so, and if they have to reschedule, I’m nervous I may end up missing the rescheduled show

It truly does. It's like a baptism.

 So happy you could find a way to go!

So happy for you! Hope you have a great time!

I definitely won't be at Wrigley early because I'm coming after work, so if any folks going would be so kind as to pick up a Chicago patch and/or Chicago poster for me tonight I would be forever grateful. We could either meet up after the show or I would pay for shipping.

[Paola17]

Officially on the way to the airport. I should arrive to Wrigley around 1pm!

Kevin’s IG story also seems like all is good to go for tonight!

[lizziebix]

Can’t believe today is the day. I’m so excited I hardly slept last night. Cannot wait.

Hope to see ya! ^_^

[The Grohl]

THAT'S RIGHT I GET TO SEE KEVIN 🫨

This is gonna be fabulous! I'm starting to get excited 😊 

[lizziebix]

Any one in line?  How many people are lining up with you?

[Montclare]

Here. Only like 15 people in ga. Under the red line at Waveland.

No patches at the merch truck at Gallagher way.

Ahh, good to know as I was gonna stop there first. My flight got delayed but I’m stopping for a quick bite around the venue and then lining up. 

I’m wearing a purple tank top and ripped jeans!

[Montclare]

I have a punk bunny shirt!

[The Grohl]

Here's what someone said on Reddit about the patches:

Went to the merch trucks and it looks like there won’t be patches tonight.. something about copyright infringement with the bears/cubs logo. That’s what one of the truck worker told me. Super bummed.

 

That just sounds weird to me. Last time GD was at Wrigley they did merch based off the Cubs logo so seems fishy.

[lizziebix]

Green Day posted a picture of a Chicago patch on IG.  An ugly bear but still a patch.

Yeah this doesn’t sound right to me. The Philadelphia patch matches the retro Phillies colors, so I’m pretty sure the references to the baseball teams are intentional and allowed!
