There is a cancellation line for Chicago but it's been my experience that there are always "premium" tickets available for nearly all shows. Watch them and usually a few days before the show they go down to the next level in price. We recently got first row balcony seats ($599 seats the day before) for $179. The theater in Chicago is 4 times bigger than the theater in NYC so the demand isn't as strong and you can usually get tickets below $200 anyway if you're patient.

I plan to get there early, but I want to make sure I stand in the right place. Where exactly does the cancellation line start? Does it start at the stage door? I just want to make sure that if I get there and no one else is there that I'm at the right place. Thanks so much!
and it was pretty busy. Got there at 5am and there was already quite a line (it was March Break weekend, so that is probably why). There were about 6 line sitters in the front but they mostly all wanted evening shows (we wanted matinee). When all was said and done, we were about #8 & 9 when we learned who wanted mat and who wanted evening. The line basically doubled through the day.
