    Ticketing strategy
    Hi Jim, My guess is that they will take all the envelopes postmarked Jan 20th first, and that have all been filled out correctly and handle those first regardless of how many tickets and for how many nights they are requesting (it's supposed to have been only up to 4 per night per envelope.) As they get to each envelope, they would see if they can fill the specific request in the envelope - which, in some cases will probably filled for some nights requested but not for others. I can't see them prioritizing requests for less tickets over requests for more. I think it is much more likely that requests for less tickets will come up randomly along with requests for more tickets with each envelope given the same "lottery" type chances to be gotten to before others.

    2cents
    Just my two cents, even though it is contrary to many of the postings that are here - I really hope that GDTS TOO, to maximize distribution amongst us, begins with distribution of single day tickets, even to those requesting multiple days. Many, many, many of us - due to finances, family, jobs - can only afford to ask for one day, and humbly did so. I think that GDTS TOO should distribute as many tix as possible to those who have requested, one day at a time per customer/envelope, then after that if additional remain, address those who asked for an additional one or two nights. I would really hate to think that thousands of us who requested one night loose out while thousands who requested 2 & 3 nights made it, somewhat at our expense. This is not like the 'good old days' where if you missed, you missed, and would catch them again later - this is a one time event. Again, just my input from my perspective; it's just that SO many folks here and on all the other boards are talking about having requested all three nights! I mean - one guy goes all three nights, or three of us goes three different nights.....?

    GDTS TOO
    Indeed, huge shout out to those folks at GDTS TOO. They have a crazy couple of weeks ahead of them sorting through so many orders the old school way. I appreciate their efforts. Someone said it right-- with only three shows, this was always a lottery ticket. Let's hope lots of Dead Heads get their hands on these tickets.
