Wrigley is a gem.better than Fenway. If you ever get to Fenway, avoid the right field grandstand at all costs. Lousy obstructed views with seats that face the left field grandstand. Go for the bleachers, especially at night (although you’ll have the sun in your eyes for the first two innings.)

I can see that we’ll never agree. What happens is that a lot of bands refuse to gouge their fans and contractually demand that promoters sell certain seats at a price that they believe is affordable to that fan base. Scalpers are a monkey wrench in that mix, and while you might be appalled, I’m always happy to see security hand out the liberated tickets (they do) as the police lead the scalper away in cuffs. What’s a cherry on top is that I haven’t heard of a lawyer yet who’s willing to challenge the impromptu confiscation in court. IMHO, the scalper deserves the humiliation.
