Agh!
No email, no rejection and Western Union MO's not cashed. I'm starting to think I'm screwed but just want to know! I'm really hopeful that they'll be another large round of emails tomorrow but that's my last shot. Good luck to everyone in my spot and wish you all the best. Extra for Friday and Sat...message me!
Best
Some people perspire...
...well I sweat! Sweating out the wait for some news. Dang, I really wish I knew something before CID goes on sale tomorrow. Keeping the faith for me and everyone else out there waiting!!
The Suspense...
I must have checked my email 50 times today. Still haven't heard anything. I was there in 95 and sure would love to be there in 15!
MIRACLE ACCOMPLISHED
Got my confirmation this afternoon in warm Windermere, FL...
The sky will definitely be f'n yellow and the sun will be pretty damn blue...
Good luck to those still in limbo
Purchase Price for Tickets Sold Already
http://www.ebay.com/sch/Concert-Tickets-/173634/i.html?_dcat=173634&_rn…
Check out the ebay site above. Tickets have been sold already on the open market: $600 to $750 per ticket. This is just crazy. Set of 4 sold for $3,100.
This is totally wrong. I understand the supply and demand system of the economy, but this is wrong on all levels. Told the wife already, if we score tickets and have extras; we will only sell on this site to people that I have read their posts.
This is going to be one ugly scene with the buying and selling of tickets in Chicago.
Still waiting and chilling in NYC.
No mail is still good mail.
Peace out............
What's up?
No Money orders cashed, no email, no rejection letter. And tickets on sale tomorrow and Saturday! Gonna cost some bucks, but I'm tired of waiting and hoping. "put your money where your love is, baby"!
re: Purchase Price for Tickets Sold Already
I agree with esvbbv. This is disgusting. The Bears presage was a bunch of BS. Why sell tickets to those who only plan to resell for an obscene profit? GDTS needs to post a new status. Are they done notifying people?
If I have extras they are going for the price I paid.
I'm only fractured
Just a little nervous from the fall...Unfortunately I didn't get my Birthday miracle yesterday...still no news at all
BUT HAPPY BDAY TO YOU!!!CHOUSE 13
And thanks for the BDay wishes folks
It is nearly impossible to drum up hope and fight off depression at this point, although I was encouraged to see people still getting emails this afternoon!!
Please keep posting your victories, defeats, cities, time of notification, etc.
Last night I dreamt, not about letters or tickets per se, but email! Dreamt I thought I saw it in my inbox and freaked out but then realized it wasn't from GDTSTOO.I appreciate all the hard work they are doing.
I don't think I can manage the funds for the CID stuff tomorrow :0
P.S. I have been trying really hard to not respond directly to any of the negative stuff being posted, but I just can't help this one...Somebody called Unkle Sam Kanye West a while back and that was hilarious, BUT, I happen to love the term Ass Clown , however when he used it, it invoked that image of somebody pointing a finger, with three pointing back at them.
waiting here in limbo
I got nothin'...still. I get they were flooded with the demand (but really they SHOULD have known)..but c'mon...it is the DAY BEFORE TM sells tix and the best I can get is you "probably" won't get get them from GDTSTOO???? No wonder everyone else laughs at us.
if you do not get tickets for
if you do not get tickets for this event Do not buy or bid on any tickets from scalpers or E bay right ...it is the only way they will have to lower the price.. no one has made bids so far,hope that stays the same when they are sold out
Chicago 2015:50yrs
My first Grateful Dead show was at Chicago's Soldier Feild in 1993. A big bolt of lightning hit down right on the edge of the Stadium just as a foggy orange green haze of fog rolled in off the lake . What a show, I
have been in love with every aspect of this band ever since that day. I sent in money orders in each way as directed in one envelope post marked on the 20th just like many of the rest of you ive been playing mailbox blackjack and checking my email more than i ever remember. Nothing just a blank. Guess i will put that old finger in the wind . Waiting on a Miracle. PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL. goodluck to you all. Darkstarr1971
Buyers are already buying
@newuser123
People are already buying tickets on ebay. So far I saw 6 sales between $650 and $3100. Bummer......
People will buy. Many of the Deadheads going to Chicago have lots of disposable income. Nothing wrong with that. Wish'em well, but the regular guy will be priced out.
Only true deadheads on this site who will do the right thing and sell to deadheads at face and reasonable price points does the regular guy have a chance.
many miracles for the community.......
Emails are still coming
I received mine late last night. MO's are still not cashed, so I agree with others that it is not worth the time to check. Good luck to those still waiting and I hope the ticket sales today and tomorrow are kind to you!
60th B-Day At Soldier Field!!!
GDTS Too last night at 11:32 pm #386... I was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen, now thinking about hotel. have seen most of them are booked so may take a limo (live in the suburbs)What a nice feeling to get that email... Birthday at Soldier Field!!!
for all those still waiting hang in there,
Om, yoga, positive thoughts
I will be doing an extended yoga and meditation period with my 3-5 year old friends at work today while my husband and kids take an unofficial snow day in attempt to get tickets this am. Happy Friday to all and looking forward to coming home to see a lot of positive news from many. Good luck everyone!
The posts of emails and numbers have been helpful, thank you!
still waiting
no e-mail, no reject, ...what a ride
still have fingers crossed...
Sigh......
Thanks for the OHMMMMM messages guys. I am trying, but this is really starting to eat me up.
can we assume no tickets if...
If we have not recieved an email confirmation by 12:00 AM tonight can we assume that we won't be getting tickets, or will they be sending emails out after tomorrow?
9:55 am est.

I sent in six money orders for tickets to all three shows.All of of them have been cashed. can assume I got my complete order?
Much appreciated if you could let me know status.
Thank you.
no info at work in a maximum prison without a phone
Feel horrible. No information, can't get off work for tickets. This isn't fun anymore. Have a hotel at intercontinental, paid in full. Suppose to be taking my 16 y/o daughter on her 16th birthday to her first show. My first show, I was 16. Now my last show I want to share with my daughter. So bummed. It is my son's 12th birthday and he drew a pretty nice skeleton in a top suit with the American flag in the background. Ugh.
WAHOOO!
Went to bed last night in limbo. Woke up and checked email...
Email came at 11:31:54 #385 all three nights, $212.50 tickets, one envelope, no art, sent in from Minneapolis area, post marked January 20, USPS MO's have not been cashed as of this morning. My wife is taking credit because she filled out the envelope and 3x5. My handwriting sucks.
Good luck to all!

Grateful for the chance to be there.

Nirvana "Bleach" played at 11.
just like two cups of coffee.
Still patient in Arizona
dealing with severe bouts of ptmosd but still being patient here in Arizona which btw has zero posts from people either getting pinkys or grateful emails. am i just one of the few heads in the state? hard to imagine. regardless of location, im faithful still. just hoping for some good lovin' via email
CID website
Travel package website conveniently down now!!!!!!!!!!!
Need a trip
Same here in frozen Chicago. No Dear John Pink Slip in mail box yetNo email yet
wowser
Got nervous and thought I should try for one CID ticket, in case I don't get any, like that other post said, at least I would get one (for almost the price of three of the ones I wanted)HA! Site already crashed 10 minutes before sale, and this is for the seats lots can't afford, can't wait to see how fast tickemaster goes down...@#%&$&^:;'/?!?!?!?!?
CID Website
Yes...the site has crashed...but let us not lose all hope...lets keep the positive vibes alive!
Deadhead cyber-attack?
So all sites are down (GDTSTOO, dead50.net, VIP ticket sale site),which leads me to speculate that some disgruntled head has done a Denial Of Service attack or something on the sites.
Mr. Bones has been looking over me for years
A friend received e-mail 2-27-15 9:45pm central. In nwiniana. I was involved in first mail order in '76, we were given 2 tickets to 1 show in your area. Mine was Auditorium Theater Chgo. Been ordering mail order since the beginning. Feel blessed to have been involved from the first to the last. Good Luck to all tomorrow.
such a bummer
I'm so confused - I was on the site at 11...and NOTHING was available...I tried every option...
I got 3 day Steal Your Face
I got 3 day Steal Your Face vip...1550. Happy day. It worked. Gonna keep 2 and pass 1 along. Fare thee well, indeed. I hope to see you all.
Fare the Well
THE DEAD SHOULD BE VERY EMBARRASSED THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE HIPPIE IDEAL. NO TICKETS EVEN AT $5,000?!?! THE WEB SITE IS A JOKE. PATHETIC...
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Anyone get through? It's wierd that it said to start on the Dead50 site when this was really a Ticketmaster sale. Precious seconds lost!!!
Still in limbo
never did I imagine what a wringer this would put me through, no e-mail no pinkie.opened an e-mail without looking at subject and it began " congratulations, you have been selected to win 13 million $" of course when I saw lucky winner I yelled only to read on and see it was for $13 million, I have never been so disappointed to win $13 milllion in my life, I wanted the golden ticket!!!!! not some crappy money.still hoping, still have the skyhook out
Disappointed here
Things looking grim here, shutout of CID packages!
No mail
No email
All 6 M.O. (western union) cashed.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
