Padraig Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 silly question on con memberships. we have to buy "new" right, even though we bought "new" when we went to Renovation. I'm not sure what i'd convert, but If I can save I would. gracias.Yes. You have to buy a new membership. The conversion option are for those that have already joined Chicon in some other fashion previously (i.e. a supporting membership, which allows you to vote in the Hugos and "support" the con with money but doesn't give you the right to go to the con).

Alexia Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Is it only necessary to purchase a membership, no additional registration fee? And it looks like one membership per attendee?I am tentatively planning to go with my dad (we're talking about driving to Chicago) but won't be purchasing memberships or making any travel arrangements until Jan/Feb.

You just need one membership per attendee. No additional fees will apply to join the convention. Leaving your planning till the New Year should be fine. Hotels will go on sale in Jan, so worth keeping an eye on that though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least that is when they went on sale this year for the current season:http://www.chicagobears.com/tickets/IndividualGameTickets.aspI'm going to assume that is probably the time when most teams put up whatever remaining tickets haven't been sold through season tickets. Depending on what the season schedule is, the Bears might have a game in Chicago when you are here. Individual tickets are pretty hard to get direct from the team, however, as most of them are taken up by season ticket holders and very few are released for individual sale. You would probably have to go through a ticket broker. It might be much easier to get a ticket to a Detroit game or another NFL city in between Chicago and New York.As for college football games, it would greatly vary from team to team. From what I have heard, it would be no problem to walk up on the day of a game and purchase a ticket to see the Northwestern football team (GRRM's alma mater) play if they have a game on when you are in Chicago. (NU is in a suburb to the north of Chicago and easily reached on public transportation.) However, getting a ticket for a game at Notre Dame would probably be next to impossible unless you know someone who goes/went there who could get you a ticket.

Neal Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Is it too early to start planning a gastronomic crawl through the windy city?Definitely not, count me in for a gastro crawl. I plan on being in Chicago a few days pre and maybe post con so I'm keen to see a lot of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I saw something on "Diners, Drive ins, and Dives" about a Costa Rican resteraunt in Chicago called "Irazu". It's on 1865 N. Milwakee Ave. It gets my vote for somewhere interesting to get some food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
