Wow- we only paid 8 bucks for the lot across from the theater in Chicago last week. We lucked out.

So, am I the only Chicago area buffista going to the Chicago preview?
I tried getting tickets, but alas. I was too late.

Yeah, as I was walking to the restaraunt for dinner before the screening I saw all kinds of much cheaper parking lots. Was not amused.
I spent $3.50 for a train ride there and back.
I almost never drive into downtown Chicago.
I didn't have much choice, being in the far north suburbs and all that. I mean, I suppose I could have researched an EL stop to park at and then figured out how to use the EL to get to the theatre, but really, it was easier to just plug the theatre address into Mapquest.

I missed out as well.
I parked in the garage at the theatre for the Chicago screening and it cost me $26.
Reminds me of when I went to the Trilogy Tuesday for LotR at AMC River East--movie ticket cost me $30. Parking for the day cost me $29.

Are you close to a Metra station? Metra is the best (and usually the fastest) way to get to and from the suburbs. You'd probably need to take a bus or cab from the downtown station to the theater.
I am close to a Metra station. Last train home leaves Chicago at 12:35 and arrives here at 2am. Between trying to make from the theatre to the station in 30 minutes and getting home over half an hour later than I managed with my car (and this was after giving a friend who lives in the city a ride home) I think the train probably would have been more trouble than it's worth in this case. I don't know.
Oh yeah - if it's that late at night, driving would be faster.
I agree -- it's a 10 pm showing. I don't think you would want to count on making that last train.
Now, if it were earlier in the evening -- that's a different story.
