    I don't think it was from Dead.net

THANK YOU....Yes that clears it up. Enjoy the show!

    I got that first email too.
    I got that first email too. I'm assuming without any concrete email with my name on it, I'm shit out of luck. It makes me feel like any cool element of this whole scene is finally done. Been seeing shows since 1980 and have never felt this animosity towards GD Tickets. People have real life concerns to take care of day to day. You'd think they'd get their act on the same page as the rest of us.

    My e-mail specifically states: "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event." I never received a Confirmation vouched....did anyone receive that from GDTS? A simple yes or no will suffice. Thanks

    If you received a congratulatory email from Dead.net with your name on it - that IS your ticket (along with photo ID). There's not a second email that you need to receive. Here's an excerpt from the email... "No tickets will be mailed out. You must print out THIS email and provide it for entrance to the event. Once at the venue all concert goers will be required to provide photo identification along with a copy of the email voucher which will be checked against our record of your confirmation." It also says... "Each ORIGINAL winner must provide THIS physical confirmation email, and a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to gain entrance to the show. The person accompanying them must be the same individual whose name is provided upon entering the ticket giveaway and this person must also provide a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to enter." Hope that helps.

    Has anyone received the "confirmation email" from dead.net for the Roseland show tomorrow? I recieved a winning notification email Friday, returned it as instructed, but have yet to receive the confirmation email that was supposed to follow... freaking out!!!

    I am in the same boat you two are in. I did the mail in on the first day as soon as the post office opened for MSG and I got my MO mail back to me with an apology. I accepted that. I know the supply was not as big as the demand. When I received the e-mail "The Dead 3/30/09 Roseland Ballroom - you've been selected" I too thought it was a consolation for not having received my mail-in tickets but it turned out to be a sweepstakes. I entered and did not hear back from GDTS. OUCH! I now feel as if they dangled a carrot in my face by the way it was worded and find the only thing I had been selected for was to be entered into their sweepstakes for a chance to go to the show. I guess I was not selected after all.

    3/30 Dead Shows
    First, ratdog.org, philzone.net, and dead.net each seem to have their own allotment of tickets. From what I have read, the first venue capacity is about 400, blender at gramercy around 500 and roseland about 3,000. Dead.net has a certain allotment of tickets, the 1000 or so to roseland is not the only tickets. Ratdog.org and phils site also have tickets. There also seems to be some confusion in regard to the emails sent out. According to the email sent by ratdog.org, you do not need to reply or confirm that you accept the tickets. The email is the only thing you have to get your tickets. I read someone say that the email from dead.net needed to be conirmed then you get a second email which is used to get the tickets. The ratdog.org email was only one time. In regard to people trying to get "extras" there is none. The only people that will get in these shows have to have the email and the winner and guest listed are the only people admitted. You can not bring anyone else. This is to avoid people selling tickets, if they let u change the name of the guest u listed than u can theoretically sell the ticket and give the spot to the highest bidder. So, if your name is not listed on an email from dead.net, ratdog.org or phils site, you are not going to get in. It clearly states on the complete rules page at http://www.dead.net/official-rules that only the people listed in the email will be admitted and there will be no exceptions. I suggest that everyone look over the official rules: http://www.dead.net/official-rules

I'm just a chimp in Kentucky, so when I say "guessing they'll add Cali shows" it's not even a very educated guess. However, that's the end of the little tour, and they have several weeks before Bonnaroo (if they're even going, that's another guess). I expect with only two shows in Califorrnia those two shows will be packed full, deep and wide, and they wouldn't have any trouble selling out all the shows they want. It would be silly not to add shows, and SoCal would seem likely, assuming the guys' individual schedules allow it. Since Phil, Bob and Micki have toured through the spring and summer anyway the last few years I'd be surprised if (a) some shows didn't get added, and (b) there wasn't a summer tour on the festival circuit as well. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a jump over to Europe in the fall, either. It's been years, and they would certainly be welcomed. I'm sure the economics favor it. I'll keep my chimp fingers crossed for you li'l darlin's! Ook ook!

E!Online via Yahoo News (or vice versa) have an article on the tour now, with the headline "The Dead to Roam the Earth". My sister heard it on some radio news today, and called to make sure I knew (she's not a deadhead at all). I pretended not to already know when she said "they're going to be in Chicago, that's only a few hours away, you should go" - I've already googled up maps and expedia'd up plane tickets and hotels. Now, if I only had the cash... Come on, Powerball! ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

Hey Now, OklahomaKris! Vending, as always, will be a roll of the dice. Some places simply will try not to let that deal go down, others will turn the other cheek. Be vigilant, be safe, be lowkey but most important of all, enjoy the music. See you on Shakedown Street!

Well I may be out of work at the moment, but I'll figure a way to get to at least the Chicago show. Man if I had the $$$ to score tix for all shows, I'd do the whole run. Not sure if these old tied bones could hack a month on the road in the back of my car... But I'm thinking about it...! ;o)

Rise and shine, Eurodead! Get your gear together and let's hit the US road . . . if they're not meeting us here, let's meet them there. After all, they are THE BAND (dang, what a surprise, guess we are following them after all instead of vice versa--who knew?). No spring Jam in the Dam this year so guess the cash is gonna go to a rock reunion family Dead style. It really, truly doesn't matter what you wear . . .

Are you kidding me!?!?! Looks like Phil's tour manager wrote this tour up...I'm extrememly stoked that the boys are getting out, but c'mon. Another N.E. laden "national tour" makes many out here wanna vomit..... I'm hoping they announce some early summer shows for the West!

p.s.) Love the symbolism of the Dead playing their first show on Easter. Resurrect the boys and let the tunes ascend up to the heaven! Be very cool to hear a first song, first show, Estimated Prophet to complete the lovely symbolic prankster message: "Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine"

I NOW LIVE IN CHILE AND HAVE LIVED HERE FOR OVER SIX YEARS. I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT IT IF THE BAND WOULD CONSIDER COMING DOWN HERE. YOU GUYS COULD PLAY HERE AS WELL IN ARGENTINA. I CANT REALLY SAY HOW MANY HEADS EXIST DOWN IN THESE PARTS, BUT THEN AGAIN I HAVENT EVER TAKEN A SURVIVE EITHER. I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE THAT WOULD DIG SEEING YOU GUYS AND ONE OF THEM IS DEFINITELY ME. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A SCENE OF MUSIC LOVERS DOWN HERE BECAUSE I TALK TO THEM, PLUS ARGENTINA IS A BALLS OUT ROCK-N-ROLL COUNTRY SO YOU WOULD HAVE A GAS THERE AS WELL. THE LOVERS OF MUSIC DOWN HERE REALLY APPRECIATE WHEN MUSICIANS FROM OTHER PLACES OUTSIDE OF SOUTH AMERICA PLAY. WHEN PEARL JAM CAME HERE IT WAS THE SHIT. THE PEOPLE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE MUSIC AND I AM NOT EVEN MAKING A PUN ON WORDS. I KNOW AS MUSICIANS YOU WOULD REALLY FEEL THE LOVE WITH THE MUSIC LOVERS IN THESE PARTS. BOB DYLAN CAME DOWN HERE A FEW YEARS AGO, I AM SURE HE CAN CONTEST THAT IT WAS WORTH IT. ALSO YOU GUYS CAN CHECK OUT THE COUNTRY, IT HAS MANY BEAUTIFUL PLACES TO SEE. "TORRE DEL PAYNE" WHICH IS A LOVELY PARK IN THE SOUTH AND IF YOU LIKE COOPER MINES, IN THE NORTH THE LARGEST OPEN FACED MINE IN THE WORLD IS HERE. DID I MENTION THE YUMMY FOOD-FORGET ABOUT, MAN IT'S THE BOMB AND NOT ONLY THAT THE PEOPLE LOVE TO MAKE IT FOR FOREGNIERS. I AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS WOULD JUST LOVE IF YOU GUYS CAME HERE. IF YOU EVER WANT TO COME, PLEASE DO BECAUSE YOU WILL BE GLAD THAT YOU DID AND SO WILL WE. I HOPE TO SEE YOU IN SHORELINE IF ALL GOES WELL I WILL. YOUR MUSIC HAS ALWAYS MEANT SO MUCH TO ME AND I WILL ALWAYS BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AND WHAT YOU CONTINUE TO DO AS MUSICIANS IS JUST GRAND. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. SINCERELY YOUR FRIEND, JOE

The press release states the band formed in Haight Ashbury in the mid 60's. I always thought they formed south of San Franscisco more around the Palo Alto area. Am I missing something or is the publicist? A little historical revisionism going on here; or do we know more than the person writing the release?

Just so folks know. Any tickets you see listed already are scalpers that are ASSUMING they will get tickets to sell. They just put up the listings. Then, in the fine print, they mention that they may not be able to get them. DO NOT BUY FROM SCALPERS! Just get your #10 envelopes together :-) (or do this new fangled "pre-sale" that is being listed...)

Have you all seriously never heard of a pre sale? It's nothing that special I am sure. They will release some tickets a few days/weeks before the rest are released to the public. If it is anything like other pre sales I have done, they will give you a promo code probably on this website that you plug into a field when you are purchasing the tickets online from whichever ticket broker they use (Ticketmaster). It shouldn't be anything more than that. I wonder if they are doing mail order?? Either way I imagine it is going to be rather difficult to get tickets especially to shows out west.

BassShango - Tickets-for-events.com has specific seats one can purchase. Look at what I was able to bring up (only thing left to do in order to purchase the tix was to provide a credit card number).
