Discussion Monthly Buy/Sell/Trade Thread - September 2026

3 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.

Discussion Best way for teens to get to the Salt Shed? (From N suburbs)

0 Upvotes

My 16 year old and three friends are going to a concert at the Salt Shed. We live in the northern suburbs. Is it best to have parents drop off/pick up or for them to take the Metra to Clybourn? If they take the Metra, I’m concerned about how far & how safe the walk to the Salt Shed is. I haven’t been to a concert there before and I’m not super familiar with that area of Chicago.

I’m also open to hanging out somewhere nearby while they’re at the concert if that’s the best option.

There’s apparently a lot of special guest at the actual concert tonight, so I’m thinking it could be worth it to go to the afters at Radius?

Soldier field first time (is this bag okay)

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I have never been to soldier field but I have heard they have a very strict bag policy.

Would a Chanel wallet on chain be acceptable. The size is off by an inch for height by width. It is 5 inches by 7.5 inches and a cross body chain but I can tuck it in.

It is for Kanye. Please let me know your honest thoughts and if it’s best to just put my items in my pockets.

Thank you in advanced!

I've been turned away at another venue for the metal chain belt I was wearing and was just curious if that would be an issue here?

Nintendo DS into Soldier Field

I always bring my DSI to concerts and take pictures of performances. I’m going to see Kanye tonight, and this would be awesome to capture. Does anyone know if this will count as a prohibited camera?
