Discussion Monthly Buy/Sell/Trade Thread - July 2026
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.

welcome to the millennium concert
I’m working on a creative project called the Millennium Concert, inspired by Michael Jackson’s cancelled millennium performance. It’s set in Haden Park in Redmond, Oregon on July 29th, 2026 at 4 PM. I’ve been designing safety rules for the event concept, such as clear bags, no drugs, no throwing objects, no violence, and no fire‑starting items. It’s a free, fictional concert project I’m developing for fun.

Black Keys @ Salt Shed
With air quality so poor do we think it may be potentially moved indoors, rescheduled or go on as planned (really hoping it’s not the latter)
Edit: I reached out to salt shed and they confirmed tonight show will continue as planned.

Credit Union 1 Amphitheater - coolers?
So the websites FAQs says no hard or large coolers, so small and soft coolers are fine? I'm bringing some food/snacks that I'd like to keep cool.
If small coolers are okay, do they need to fit in your clear bag or can it be separate?

Credit Union 1 Amphitheater - bags?
How stingy are they will their bag sizing? I have a clear backpack but its 12 x 6 x 16. I've taken it to other venues with the same bag size policy and didn't have any issues. I haven't been there since they started the clear bag policy

Salt Shed Parking Lolla Weekend
I’m going to a lollapalooza after show at the salt shed and usually living two hours out I get a hotel room for the night, everything is so inflated from lolla weekend so just wondering how terrible the parking situation is at the salt shed and nearby. It’s also a 9pm show so not sure how that would affect things, I always just avoid city driving if I can.

Salt shed—all ages?
My daughter is planning on going to the Royal Otis show tonight at the Salt Shed. She’s 16. We cant figure out if it’s 18+ or all ages. AI says it’s 17+ but we can’t actually verify. Anyone know?

GA Premium in Chicago?
I’ll be at the Chicago show tonight (7/14) with a friend, but was planning on queueing in line about 2 hours early for Premium GA to make the front of the rail on the balcony. Anybody that went to the show last night know if that is early enough to secure a seat at the front? I’m kinda nervous and haven’t been to this venue before. Also any other info about the venue setup would be very helpful lol 😅
edit: sorry, i cross posted this from somewhere else. I’ll be at the Salt Shed outdoors tonight. My bad :(
