Final Fantasy ‘Distant Worlds’ Concert to Hit Chicago

For those of you lucky enough to live in Chicago and be a Final Fantasy fan I would have to strongly recommend going to see this concert, with ticket prices ranging from $35-150 dollars it’s easily in even the causal Final Fantasy’s Fan budget. For those of you that are on the hardcore side the higher priced tickets may be in your best interest, especially if you want to meet a certain legendary Nobuo Uematsu ;).
