I checked out the HOB website......and noticed the show is sold out!!!!!
If anyone is going...I would highly recommed making dinner reservations.....with their special package.
Its $40.00....which goes toward your food bill, but with this you get reserved seating.....at the railings just above the main floor AND you get in before the doors open. So if you dont like those seats, you can help yourself to wherever you prefer.
Great deal if you asked me. Made my reservations today.
Anyone know who is opening?
The Weakerthans I believe.
Anyone want to do dinner?
Looks like online reservations are already taken for the 3rd. I tried different times and no go.
You have to call.
To clear it up a tad, the $40.00 is per person, which is credited towards your entire bill. $80.00 between the wife and I will easily be spent.

I have been to the HOB Chicago before to see Gord Downie on his last solo tour. I participated in the "Pass the Line" promotion the HOB had for that show which allows anyone early entrance into the venue before the doors open to the public if you purchase a dinner entree and have a concert ticket.
In your post you stated a requirement to spend $40.00 per person to reserve a bar seat overlooking the main floor. It is my understanding of the "Pass the Line" promotion that a dinner entree purchase is the only requirement. My point is I can buy dinner for my wife and I with alcoholic beverages and spend between $50 - $60 and still have the same opportunity at the seats you spoke of. My intention is to grab a main floor spot near the stage. Here is a link to the HOB Chicago website for the "Pass the Line" promotion:

Clutchcdn please let me know what you were told by the reservation staff when you called. Did they guarantee you the bar seat you spoke of. When I was there for the G.D. solo show, a line was formed inside the HOB but outside the concert venue and separate from the public general admission line which was outside of the HOB. The "Pass the Line" participants were let in on a first come first served basis. Can anyone clear this up for me?
Yes....a bar stool along the railing is guaranteed. It is marked with your name, where it is located (sides or front) cannot be guaranteed. It will depend on how many people choose this option and how many guests are in your party.
The $40.00 per person.....will be used towards your food/drinks bill before you head into the venue.
As far as the pass the line promotion.....the times are limited.
As of yesterday..only 6 and 730 were open for a party of 4.
With this other option....the times are wide open.
We made ours for 530.
Another big difference is the fact that sure with pass the line you get in before everyone...but with this other deal....you dont need to rush in....your seats are saved for you.
So basically the $40/per person option is much, much better.
And if you choose to move when you get in( which can also be ahead of the line), instead of staying at your seat....you are welcome to do so.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for explaining the policy to me. :thumb:
