Space Bandito Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm up for the Field Museum and anything involving food so the Flavors of Chicago tour sounds good. The Museum for Science and Industry w/ Mythbusters also sounds fun. I also get in on the 27th, but leave on the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz of CCAA Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Good point.Currently, there's tickets for the following times: 10:00, 11:00, 11:30, 12:00, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 3:00 and 3:30.Personally, I'd go for 11:00 or 11:30.Could the other people who were interested in coming along please let me know which timing they'd prefer, so we can all book soonishly?Good time. :)Did I sign up for this? I don't remember. :leaving:ETAI checked and I don't think that I signed up for it. I may be come along and make this my only boat trip, though. But not quite sure yet. ;)I could use some more money. :leaving:;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alytha Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Voted a looong time ago... :PAnyway...just to avoid confusion, the boat tour as planned would be on 4th September. (29th August is Museum day)The ticket system still lists "high" availability (whatever that means) for the 11:00 tour that day, so I'd go for that one and you're all very much invited to join me if you want. Tours last 90 minutes.(please understand if I ask you to each book your own tickets for this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Bandito Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 If I can help in any way (by purchasing my own museum tickets for example :P ) let me know. I just need to know the time and what cool things to add to my ticket. Has anyone grabbed any of the Chicago Cubs tickets that Chicon had acquired? It would be on the 31st at 1:20. With tickets $32 each. http://www.chicon.org/cubsgame.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Count me in for the boat tour at least, not sure what my other plans are yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alytha Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Does any of the native Chicago people know if you really have to buy tickets for the Museum of Science and Industry in advance, or can you get them at the museum without a problem?People can of course add whatever extra stuff they like, but I'll stick to the Mythbusters as the only extra I think.

Adz of CCAA Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Aly, have you already booked you're ticket for the boat trip?I only ask so that I won't be the first to do so. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alytha Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Not yet, but I will soon...today or tomorrow. So you'll be coming along then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz of CCAA Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yes, I think so. :)Will look into the booking thing tomorrow. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz of CCAA Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Is this the right thing?http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/21004868E4857DBE?artistid=803625&majorcatid=10005&minorcatid=106 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouse Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Does any of the native Chicago people know if you really have to buy tickets for the Museum of Science and Industry in advance, or can you get them at the museum without a problem?If you want only general admission to the Museum of Science and Industry, you do not need a ticket in advance. However, if you're going on a weekend, the lines are likely to be long, and so buying a ticket in advance may be helpful. If you are buying tickets to a special exhibition, then frequently those do sell out and advance purchase is probably the safest best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alytha Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Is this the right thing?http://www.ticketmas...&minorcatid=106In general, yes, but be careful about the date, we're going on 4th September ;)Mouse, thank you for the info. Currently planning to go there on 29th August, which is a Wednesday, so maybe it won't be too crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz of CCAA Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 In general, yes, but be careful about the date, we're going on 4th September ;)Ah yes! Thanks. I always think August 29 for some reason. :leaving:I'll change the date. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz of CCAA Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Another question...Will we pick up the tickets there or print it out?I'd be for picking my ticket up there because my printer is out of order atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alytha Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Booked my ticket for the 11:00 cruise on 4th September. For non-Americans, picking up the tickets there is the only option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adz of CCAA Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Done. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alytha Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Right...one event done, but many to go...don't be afraid to post, if you have any good ideas or just don't like hanging around on your own! :)Concerning the Museum of Science and Industry, I think I'll take the risk and not order any tickets in advance. If worst comes to worst, we'll have to improvise. There's so many museums around Hyde Park that we should be able to find something interesting to fill the day.Concerning the trip to the Indiana Dunes, does anybody volunteer their car, or as a driver? Does anybody know where the most convenient place to pick up a car would be, if we rent one?Also, if you're thinking about coming along (some oxygen and sunlight will do you good after the Con ;) ), please let us know so we know how big the car has to be, or how many we need!Alternatively, there seems to be a train line going there: South Shore Line Passenger Service. Which form of transport would the natives recommend? Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
