    First concert!
    Hi all, I'm sitting here in Ireland on Paddys day. I should be out having a few pints with my mates BUT I managed to draw the short straw in work and so I get to be on call :=). The only thing cheering me up is that I have 2 tix for the show in Washington. Its coing to be my first Dead show and I cant wait. Bringing my better half with me.mad to think just 3 yrs ago she was listening to hip hop kinda stuff. managed to bring her round via the last waltz, woodstock and festival express. Now she has a load of dead on her ipod and is excited about the concert as me(never thought id see the day) I was wondering what the rules are in relation to bringing cameras into the concert venue, Its very laid back in Ireland (in most venues). I dont want to end up having to que and then go back to the hotel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers and happy paddys day to one and all.

    Now I just can't wait for Cinco De Mayo. I hope all the toils and snares you have run into can work themselves out, especially if you just can't wait to hear the boyz play. The Rothbury fest is a must, and the only summer tour dates confirmed. I will highly recommend going for 4 dayz if you can, it is one of the Greenest, Good Time, musician, dancin, and hippy fests I've ever been to. The special guests will amaze you. Let's get on with the show! ~peace~ _____________________________________________ 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!

    Sorry to hear of your sitch...We are right there with you on that one!!! We're self employed in the construction industry, and it's just so crappy right now!! Bills just are no fun, especially, when you consider the whole idea of just losing the house and the credit cards/utilities;etc...and walking away from the rat race and doing some travelling, camping, dancing and overall, just living the life "outside of the rat race"...don't mind me...it's almost 3 am and I am still on the computer for work...tomorrow is going to be interesting with my whole two or three hours of sleep...! Who knows...me and my hubby just might end up rv'n it at one point and then we'd get to see tons of shows instead of working so much every day...I guess we'll see where the good Lord takes us... Anyways...good luck with the other shows that you are waitin on a miracle for and HAPPY ST. PATTY'S to another nite owl!

    Hate to put a damper on anyone-But im Bummin out right now-Just found out I cant go to the show because we just got an unexpected HUGE bill that is of a personal nature and there is NO WAY to get out of it and there is also NO WAY I can afford the tickets and the show- unless some crazy miracle happens between now and 4/18 like hitting the lottery! I am truly sad. Guess I will just have to hope for some east coast summer gigs or just settle for DSO at Hampton Beach in june :-(

    Tickets - LA/Shoreline -info please?
    Hi all~ It's super late, so I haven't done the google search tonight to see if there are tickets left for the March shows in Cali...As it is, we are having issues with work, so I don't know if we can even go to the La, much less the Shoreline show...but still, I'm bundling up my sage and hoping for the miracle... Anybody know if people will be selling tickets in either of the lots if I don't get a chance to buy them earlier??? Also, anybody planning on selling anything??? Anybody planning on holding drum circles or other lot jams?? I remember when we went to the Dead in Nor Cal a couple of years ago, the dang horse police broke up the circle...it was such a bummer because I really wanted my hubby to get to experience a good one...Anyways...back in '93-'95, I never went with a ticket, I always had to save money until the very last minute, so part of the beauty of the whole thing was the lot and the luck that I would get if I was blessed enough to get in...course, that was a long time ago...it sure would be nice to go this year...I've been wanting to take my dad (who just loves music and was all hippied out in the 60's, but never really "got" the Dead...), as well as my youngest brother who is in his early 20's and who I think just might really like it... Any info. is appreciated... -Hopeful79 (Stacy)

So the cheaper seats are all behind the stage with obstructed views and if I pay $100+ I will either get seats in the front row or in the nosebleeds of the 300 sections. This has to be the most ridiculous ticket arrangement I have ever heard. Shame on everyone involved that it has come to this.

Just had to lol when I read that. Rikers Island ha ha fucking priceless. I'd start taking a little less of the candy, man. If you get confused, listen to the music play.

I was listening to the encore of Tales from the Golden Road (sirius) and heard that the Boys wanted to get out and get a feel for things and see how this mini tour goes - then take from there. Maybe if it goes good, they'll do another run next year or something. I think there may be old posts from a couple days ago as well that might shed some light on the possibility. If I remember correctly I think someone said there may be some info over on Phil's website? Not 100% positive as my short term memory is no where near as good as it used to be. Browse through this thread and see what you can find.

It looks like getting tix tomorrow for presale should be a snap....lots of you say: "too much!" while many more seem helpless on the internets....fascinating I have confidence in my ability to get thru some complex captcha faster than 98% of the people posting! ;-)

Thanks for the laugh! I needed that. Camping at MSG would most certainly be a "trip." And Rikers would probably be on the itinerary. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

I have been searching different sites for ticket info and Ticket Master seems to be the only one posting info for venues... I would think that if they have the venues listed that unfortanatly they will be handling the ticket sales... Questions I had prior to the presale are becoming clearer.. We will most likely get password right before the tickets go on sale The tickets becoming available 9am West Coast time Tickets will range from 50-100 dollars a ticket not including Ticket service charge I am thinking Ticketmaster got the gig My game plan tommorrow is to open 4 windows on the computer prior to the sale I suggest refreshing all these until you have your ticket info 1 open e-mail (Keep refreshing for notification from this site on a password 2 open Ticketmaster and have it ready for purchase 3 Open this site and keep it on the page with presale and ticket info...Keep refreshing so you don't miss it 4 Open this forum and keep refreshing since if someone gets aditional info or the password chances are they will post it here... Good Luck to everyone here and may we all get in

$100 a seat? Fifty is fair, Seventy five is pushing it but one hundred bucks? Give me a break, nice way to stick it to the fans. I don't care who is handling the sales and what the excuses are, that's just lame. Doesn't sound like the Grateful Dead I once knew, pretty sad indeed.

I was going to do albany, 1 Woooooster and msg....just like old times.... thinking 50 a ticket would come to about 200 with all charges ...now with 100 a tix that will not happen, i might but it will be hard to get the group back together to do this. Allmans, phish, the rooo.....lots of shows and the economy and the price of this tour just put a bad vibe in my body.

All the years combine They melt into a dream...... $100 for 1 ticket - I remember paying $50 for a scalper's ticket at the Meadowlands in 1984. Thought I'd never pay more than that. It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free I'm going to at least 1 show. Doing the mail order thing just like I always have. It's hit or miss on the seating but at least I'll be there. Dust off those rusty strings just one more time, Gonna make them shine, shine Good Luck with the tickets Y'all!

Pricing works on a few levels--keeps demand low, prevents touring, makes the band more money, etc. And it does continue the excellent work that the Eagles started years ago. Settle for the economy model with vinyl seats in the back or the luxury option with the telescopic leather seating that allows you to make out details on the stage.

I just went and reregistered and updated all my info with Ticket-Bastard just in case they are the sellers for this show..I would suggest others to possibly set this up in advance since it will store all your info and make the purchasing smoother & faster..This way if you open up Ticketmaster prior to sales as soon as you get the passwoord just enter it and click

Since no more mail is going out tonight in the majority of the country and presale is tommorrow I would try the presale...If it doesn't work you can send the mailorder tommorrow since you should know rather quickly if you have tickets

The Wilkes - Barre show runs from 70 to 100 bones, save your money and go see the boys. If we knew when Jerry's last show was the demand would be crazy for tix. So get out re-live the good life while we can. " Goes to show you don't ever know what the cards hold"

I was able to set my account, but there was no access code provided as described in the FAQ. The explaination about setting up an accout is poor! I signed up for pre-sale notification and have received no e-mails about the pre-sale. Very bad execution of the pre-sale ticket notification (plus free goodies)! As it stand now, this whole pre-sale through Ticket-Master or what ever it ends being is flawed because if you follow the advice to set up an account before hand, you are not provided the required information (i.e., access code) required to purchase ticket. There should have been better information provided and sooner.

actually green ripple and you guys are right...the FAQ is misleading and says "Important: Write down the username and password you received with your Access Code and put it in a safe place. You will need your Username, Password, and Access Code to buy tickets." I think this applies to people activating an account after the presale begins, so they will get an access code immediately. I'm sticking with the theory that we should all get an email or message with access codes tonight or first thing tomorrow....

All I was suggesting was getting an acount set up through Ticketbastard in advance since I think they may be doing the ticket sales...Noone has a password yet but it is a good idea to sign up with them and have your info for the transaction already provided ahead of time.Tommorrow open up a window for Ticket-Bastard in advance under the new account you opened... Also make sure to be in the area of the venue you are getting tickets for... As sson as we get our password tommorrow go over to the site and follow the direction...It will list the date 1-23 that they go on sale to the public and will also list the date which will be tommorrow for the presale...They are holding off til the last minute because if we already had the password with todays technology all the scalper and brokers would clean house on scooping them up...There are a ton of visitors on the forum and I can guarantee alot are people looking to make a quick buck of us

I certainly hope so...I think this will just lead to more Heads in the Lot than in the show...which means more of the problems that come along with this...Gatecrashers, Cops, etc...etc..etc. Kind of a bummer... :(

It appears that a lot of effort was put into VIP ticket packages but zero was put into the logistics of actually selling tickets. It bet most of these VIP tickets don't sell in the presale and are eventually released as regular tickets.

The overwhelming bad vibes are flowing. The calamity ensues. Overpriced tix abound. Save your hard-earned scratch and go to a summer festival. Go See three Bands, Rat Dog, Phil and friend, and Gov't Mule all for the same price.
