Yes Syrel, but don't know why or if it matters much.
For Chicago 2 you just hover over the sections to see starting at prices.
I've also noticed prices seem to have increased a bit for platinum tix in many sections for that show...

The standard price tickets have mostly been singles. I picked up 2 standard price tickets on the aisle, one behind the other, a week ago for the first show. Sec. 309.

Soldier Field finally released parking for the North Lot and Waldron Lot!
[soldierfield.clickandpark.com]
$55 is a bit steep, but it'll be worth every penny!
What a way to kick off the tour on the first day of summer!

In terms of pricing, I think that's a very good value buy. If 'A view from my seat' is anything to go by, the front of the 300s near the end of the field closest to the stage is a good shout, particularly the side you're on. As Hairball pointed out, the stadium appears not to be symmetrical, with fewer rows in the 200s on your side.

The 300 seats on the east side are higher. As a tradeoff, there are supposed to be more amenities on the east side for the 200 and 300 levels, including indoor areas in case of really bad weather (not that that will happen).

According to the TM chart, there are 12 rows in the 200s on Ronnie's side, and 19 on Keith's side.

Are you local, Bam? Or at least know the stadium well ? Of the 300s Which side, in your opinion is best for concerts? The 309 side or the 339/40 side?

There is a Country festival going on too? With the Circus taking up the entire South lot, I may pick up the $55 parking pass. I think parking is going to be a real problem. Is that North Lot underground?

Yep, the 3-day Country Lake Shake is going on across the street at Northerly Island.
The Soldier Field North lot is completely covered/underground. Adler parking is good, but not for tailgating.
I've been sending out a lot of feelers to friends/family who tailgate for Bears games and they've mentioned there's a parking lot on Indiana Avenue that's fun for tailgating. We also used to park down by Burnham Harbor for fishing, but I'm not sure that's even available these days. I opted for Waldron lot though.

Actually 309 is on the other/right side with more rows in the 200's.
Posting pic again for reference - view from back of stadium facing stage.
Sections 303- 317 are on right side looking towards stage, while sections 343-330 are on the left side .
The 200's on the right side have more rows, while the 200's on the left side have less and it appears all of those are tucked underneath the 300's making those 300's lower and closer to the field.

I agree with you 100% Hairball. Have to view this tour as the last in the USA even though hopefully it's not. I saw a single in the 100 level close to the stage for Chicago 1 for around $350 plus fees today on ticketmaster and was tempted to get it. Playing the waiting game and hoping for something better/cheaper closer to show time but given it's the first show and all, I'm a bit nervous.

Reasonably priced Chicago #1 tix are probably going to be "tough, tough, tough, tough, tough" to get from here on out.
On the other hand things might "flex" for the better a day or two leading up to the show with unsold VIP's being thrown back into the standard batch.
If you're going solo, it's wise to hold out imo, but for those trying to get a pair or more together might want to grab 'em while you can.
Hard to predict what will happen considering the postponement, those seeking refunds, those deciding to go now because it's the first show, the rescheduling (back to original date), etc., etc., etc.
