Among the top events headed to the Windy City and surrounding areas in 2016 are concerts from David Gilmour, The Who, and Justin Bieber, while Broadway gems like The Lion King and Book of Mormon are making triumphant returns, and don't miss out on cheering for your hometown Blackhawks, Bulls, Bears, Cubs, and White Sox from the stands throughout the season.
Check out the tables below for the ticket price breakdown of some of our top holiday gift ideas. All ticket prices based on active listings as of Dec. 2.
The Chicago area is annually treated to the vast majority of major concert tours, and often also is one of the select few cities picked for more modest ventures. Above you'll find a list of both, featuring some of our top picks for 2016 including artists like David Gilmour, Justin Bieber, and the Dixie Chicks, who haven't toured in many years, while James Taylor is set to make his Wrigley Field debut, and Windy City natives Fall Out Boy will for the first time grace the stage at the United Center.
If you haven't had the chance to make it to the Great White Way, let Broadway come to you in the form of The Lion King, The Book of Mormon, Newsies, and Beautiful - The Carole King Musical, which all will be playing limited runs in Chicago during the coming weeks and months. Ring in 2016 with the comedy of John Oliver or attend an acclaimed show by Blue Man Group, who have been a Chicago staple for years.
Tickets are always a great gift for the sports fan in your life, and Chicago always has plenty of events to offer. Cheer on the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks, or support Derrick Rose and Co. during the next Chicago Bulls game, which in February will include the last-ever regular-season visit from Kobe Bryant. Spring will be here before you know it and mid-April will bring Opening Day to the Windy City for both the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox. Other can't-miss sporting events coming to Chicago in 2016 include the Midwest Regional of the NCAA Tournament and Monster Jam, among many others.
