Just saw a couple go by what security told them to do, like the original poster did, get the ninth degree from a few of those when they joined the Chicago queue towards the front.

Sorry for the delay! Honestly, it was sort of like the original post situation for the most part. I talked to the guy later to apologize to him on behalf of the people in front of the line and for those that gave him and his girlfriend a hard time about doing what security said. He told me that they showed up around 4:30 that morning and talked to security, who told them nobody would be getting wristbanded until 6 am and to show up at the pre-designated spot, when needed. When they showed up, our line was already going down and they just sort of joined in once they converged with us. I don't think most people gave them a hard time, but two or three in particular began accusing them of trying to "budge" ahead, how they had signed up on Thursday for the list, etc. The guy also wasn't familiar with the unofficial lists (obviously), and after they were still hearing it from a few people once we all sat down, they eventually stood up and moved about 10 people back, then moved to the back of the line a short time later.
Luckily, he didn't seem too bummed about it by the time I talked to him. And I think I saw him and his girlfriend with a decent spot later on the field, so it all worked out ultimately, I guess. Still... goes to show that there's still drama to these things and how they operate.
