NFL Draft - Chicago (1 Viewer)

[pyite76]

OK so the big show is coming to my home town. As far as I know ticket information has not yet been released.

What did tickets cost when it was held in NYC at Radio City? I know they gave out wristbands the day before, and I thought I remember someone saying on here that tickets were pretty cheap.

Any help/information is appreciated. Thanks.

Admission is free. The cost is waiting in line

How long is the line wait? I live in Indiana...would it be worth the wait to drive that? I'd love to go to a draft, but not without the guarantee of getting in.

I've seen the scenario online (on my phone so no link). But in the past you show up at the nfl event on wend evening, wait in line, and receive a wristband. The wristbands are 1 per person. You then come to draft on Thurs and wait in line. I'm not how the seating is arranged. I'm in the city and we (6-8 buddies) are planning on going, but the one wristband per person makes it harder.

edit: Attached is the "fan guidelines" for obtaining tickets to the 2014 draft. http://www.nfl.com/draft/story/0ap2000000344281/article/nfl-announces-fan-guidelines-for-attending-2014-draft

So like a 24 hour wait? For the draft?...#### that.

No, I think you have to wait in line on Wednesday to receive the wristband, and then you have to come back and wait in line again on Thursday afternoon/night. I saw some websites/ticket companies that offer "draft packages", so I'm looking into that.

Did anyone who entered into the draft ticket contest receive an email stating they were awarded tickets?

this whole thing smells like a clusterfu*k to me.

this could be bigger than the dead coming to town.

And I'm assuming no email for tickets means I'm going to get shut out of both!
