Grateful Dead

Funny story - With all of the instructions for mail order it seems pretty complex but it's really not. They lay it out for you very well in the instructions. But... ...when I mailed away for two tour books for the '87 tour I was meticulous about it and sent it away. Waited...waited..waited..and waited some more. Until finally it was getting very close to the date for the first show and I started to panic. I think I called GDTS and they said it was sent. I called the Post Office and they had something with my name on it that they were JUST about to "Return to Sender" (back then it was in San Rafael). AHHHHHH - Nooooo!!! Hold on to them I'll be right there. Went to the Post Office and rescued my precious package and inspected it carefully. On my SASE I put 45 for the street number. Only problem was that we lived at 47. Kids - some words of advice...have a smoke AFTER you complete the order, NOT before. And maybe have someone double-check it for you! See you all in Chicago!!

Yeah, I get what you're saying - Alpine would be MUCH better. I guess they are playing Soldier Field not only because it is a center spot in the country but because that is the last place they played with Garcia in '95. As you say, go with the flow. We are all very glad the Boys are doing this but would LOVE if the played an East Coast and West Coast location as well. It is such a "thing" that we just can't get enough. Never could... Now,,,should I draw up my divorce papers before or after the shows?? Leaving the wife and kids on the beach while I fly to Chicago for 4 days won't go over too well! Oh well...

Hi folks. First time posting here, although if you're on the Lockn' forum at all, you may know me from there. Anyhoo, considering that secondary ticket resellers are already listing nosebleeds that they don't even HAVE starting at $235, I'm gonna make my very first foray into mail order on Tuesday. My only problem is what to write on the outside of the envelope. There are three levels of mail order tickets, but I'm only interested in the two lowest price options, so I can't put "any." The GDTSTOO site advises what to write for one kind of ticket, but not for multiples (less than "any"). Still with me? What I'm tentatively writing is as follows: 7/3 2 res tix @95.50 or 2 GA tix @115.50 7/4 1 res tix @95.50 or 1 GA tix @115.50 7/5 1 res tix @95.50 or 1 GA tix @115.50 I imagine that any confusion whatsoever gets your order bounced, even if everything else is correct. I emailed GDTSTOO, but who knows if they'll get back to me, or in time? Experienced mail orderers, what do you recommend? Thanks!
