GREAT preconcert party!
by Mulan10 on 11/1/18United Center - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5About 2 weeks before the Elton John Farewell Yellow Brick Road concert in Chicago, I received an e-mail offering the Concert Club party. For $65 per person, we would get a 2 hour pre-concert private event, with open bar, passed appetizers, specialty cocktails, live music, and a private merchandise table, and reserved parking for one vehicle. After quickly checking with my husband, we immediately responded yes! And we were very happy we did! This was an amazing event! Apps were plentiful, and included spring rolls, a puff pastry with meat filling, and mini-bread slices with salsa. There were even dessert bars - lemon and chocolate. We got one each of the specialty drinks. Our favorite was Bennie and the Jets (bourbon and bitters), and my husband liked the Rocket Man (tequila and lime and ginger beer). The others were Candle in the Wind (Smirnoff raspberry) and Tiny Dancer (vodka and orange and cranberry juice). They let us take 2 drinks a piece to the concert. Everyone on staff was super nice and friendly! The room only held maybe 100 people, and I still don't know how we were lucky enough to get an invite, but we hope they continue these in the future, and if we get invited again, we will DEFINITELY be back!!! We can't thank the United Center and Ticketmaster enough for doing this!! It was wonderful!
