    It will be real fun trying to wheel and deal tickets here at work where everyone and their mother can see my screen. I wish I could come in late tomorrow morning and just do everything from home. Oh well...guess it just adds to the excitement right?!?!?! Less than 24 hours to go!!!!

    They will give you a password to use to get tickets before they go on sale to the general public example .. If the password if Obama ... You would log onto Ticketmaster tommorrow and then insert the password where they ask for it and then purchase the tickets like you normally would..If you don't have a password it won't allow you to purchase tickets in advance

    Got a sweet reminder (with my Candyman ringtone) on my Iphone last night: 12 AM Buy tickets for the Dead! location: Computer Not that I hadn't been thinking and talking about the entire day before. I'm so excited for this tour. So I woke up this morning and logged onto dead.net to listen to my Monday morning fix of the Taper's Section. Couldn't listen to the streams, but no worries, just went to sugarmegs.org and started playing a stellar San Diego 1/10/70 upon David's suggestion. I started reading all the posts on this thread...I laughed alot. 1. Yes there are two ways to presale: GDSTOO (Was laughing so hard when someone asked if they were not scammers and should I send a money order. Believe me, they will always treat you KIND! Give the Bolinas crew a break, they are living in one of the best places in the world.) DEAD.NET (You know it's going to be an online presale because they have a timer set for exactly 9am PST because yes, everything revolves around Bay Area time.) 2. Thank you BOYS! 3. This tour is gonna rock (you bet I'm gonna be dancin' and singin' in the streets!) 4. Ticket prices: Although slightly steep for some budgets, aren't that bad. It did eat into my going home to Shoreline Amp. funds but I've done it before and made it to the show. 5. Relax and remember to at least enjoy the ride! FEEL THE LOVE! _________________________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

No offense, but I can't believe u guys moaning about an 8 hour drive to get to a show etc...what about those of us overseas? Man, I used to hitch across the country at the drop of a hat to see the boys, with NO money in my pocket. I always found a way! I even traveled all the way from the south of New Zealand once just to get to do Spring Tour (surely a Deadhead record) arriving around midnight the night before with no idea of where I'd stay, just heading to the lot and seeing what happened. I've even had to be in the States illegally to see shows as I got deported years ago for swinging on the lot. This is what being Deadicated really means! You guys are so lucky, I'm happy for u all, but my heart is breaking at the same time. I don't think I can handle the stress of coming into the States illegally again to see the boys even though I know I'd see a lot of old friends. My best friends, the best u could ever wish for. My family. But with the way the U.S. is like a police state these days the chances of getting caught and put in jail for a year or two just for entering illegally is probably too much for me. Please come to Europe guys... Could everyone PLEASE, PLEASE post asking the guys to tour Europe this year!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Are you kind?"

Warren Haynes is a good guitar player and all but I sure wish Steve Kimock was in the line up. When he played with Ratdog in 2007 tour it was some of the best guitar playing I have ever heard. He understands how to achieve that psychedelic sound that was Jerry's trademark. Haynes also inserts some of his own lyrics which bugs me but maybe on this tour he won't sing. Just my humble opinion! "I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines. Come to daddy on an inside straight, well I've got no chance of losing this time"

Yea, everyone who lives in Greensboro better plan a vacation for that day. It will be crowded. It's a awful place to get into as well. But you know I'll be there. Can't wait till midnight monday to get some tickets. I won't sleep a bit that night. Stay cool guys, spring is around the corner.

One positive indicator regarding a summer tour is the fact that the websites for Ratdog and P & F (and Gov't Mule, for that matter) don't list any conflicting dates at this point. Then again, it's pretty early for ANY band to have locked-and-loaded their summer dates. In the meantime, all we can do, my friends, is catch as many of the spring shows as possible and be hopeful for more! Robust ticket sales for the spring dates should motivate any skeptical band members, so to paraphrase Richard Daley: buy early and buy often! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One man gathers what another man spills...

This is what it's all about. The whole scene. Its so cool. The Tour. The pre-sale. The on-sale. How many shows? Who got what? How are we getting there? How many miles do we have to go? How are we going to pay for this? Who's the doo-dah man?.This is what makes up the Grateful Dead Vibe. Don't worry gather the Dead Vibe and it will do wonderful things. Beleive that there will be more shows and there will be. Beleive in more tix and there will be. Come on! What do you think? They're just gonna do 20 shows. This is just a warm up. In '03 they were only gonna get together (which was amazing enough)and do a few shows. And then, do a little tour. And then, look what happened. In '04 they played 40 shows jammed in between Allmans and Gov't Mule tours. Even though we like Warren, he is not the only one who can jam with the Dead. I'm sure theyre are a few "other ones" out there. No matter what it's always cool. plus Jerry is always watching. Hey, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. Summertime done come and gone, my oh my. "Oh if a man tried To take his time on earth And prove before he died What one man's life could be worth I wonder what would happen To this world."

This is gonna be surreal. Two nights in Philly for me and some pals, also possibly going to hit the Wilkes-Barre stop. Too bad for work and school. F*in ball and chain. We made the State College show in October. Was one of the greater experiences I have had except for the cops tryin to run the parking lot. I'm hoping Philly will be a little less restrained. I'm definitely pumped though, and hoping to beat the rush at pre-sale. Do those e-mail alerts work?

wanted to tell anyone worrying to STOP! Have faith!! All good things in all good time. This board has been the most entertaining thing all week. I just started learning html and I'm basically stuck writing code everyday for the next 6 weeks, but man this makes the day go by so well. i mean the energy is SO high here sometimes i get confused in class and have to like...minimize the screen and spiral back down to my chair. Could be new years catching back up with me. But man, I am so fucking ready. Caught both new years shows with my girl (flew from boston, first time in SF.) and by the end of NYE all I could *think* about was when are we going to get the dead. (i'm addicted more so than ever after those two nights) As we were walking out i got handed a little black flyer that I almost threw out until i saw a spiraling stealie and THE DEAD SPRING TOUR 09! Started jumping up and down screaming high-fivin folks and a dude handed me a killer "I MISS JERRY" sticker. Goes nicely with the PHIL IT UP AND GET WEIR'D sticker i got before the show! Gonna try to scan that little flyer and post it. A Really nice mysterious design. Couldn't stop looking at it for the rest of the night. sorry for the ramble guys. i love talking about this beautful part of our human experience. Keeps me grateful. Have Love and Keep It - Patrick

Best line-up yet (IMO). I KNEW when I heard the Obama show that there would be a tour (or many). I actually remember saying they should tour as The Grateful Dead, because, that is what it sounded like. It is an unmistakable sound. "Long train running from coast to coast Bringing home a party when you need it the most Work on the box car, beat on the bell Nothing else shaking so you might just as well." Thank you Boys!!! P.S. (Can you pleeeeease get Hunter to open!!!!!????!!!!!)

Yes... yes... yes. I'll be at Shoreline with my mom and dad - my wife, who's never been to a Dead show - and my one year old son. It'll make us three generations deep of Deadheads, and I wouldn't have it any other way. RIP Mr. Garcia
