    Heads Up
    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

    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.

    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!

    tour? Show
    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.

    $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.

    looking more like Ticket-Bastard
    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

Speaking on behalf of dead heads who honestly has the money to go to multiple shows. $100 dollars a ticket is completley outragious. If im spending 100 bucks for a ticket it sure as h**l better be a floor ticket not some nosebleed b.s.

I live in Seattle and I am praying and hoping they play the Gorge this summer..I am looking forward to going to Shoreline and spending a few days in the Bay Area.. We also have a house near the ocean in Santa Cruz... The smiles, dancing & laughter in the air will compensate for any price tag and that my friends can not be bought

More people are complaining over the cost of a ticket vs. the price of gas we were paying last summer. Come on...... take that extra money you're not spending on inflated gas prices and by a ticket!!!!!!!!

I just registered at the deadtickets site and the only tickets listed for the WB, PA show are the upper tier pricing? Other shows have two tier tix, but some only have the mucho dinero tix? I don't care where my seat is...not like I'll be using it anyway and no need to see the "maturity lines" on Bobby! lol I wanted to treat my bro and his girl, since they can't really spring for $150 (lower price tix? at least for mailorder) for them both...but it's going to cost me $300 for us to catch the boys one last time? *sigh* Time to break out the colored pencils and get my envelope ready for tomorrow! ~Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings!

What's confusing me is how some of the venues appear to have only the upper tier tickets on sale during the pre-sale (Nassau Coliseum, MSG, the Spectrum, etc.) while others have both tiers available (Buffalo, Hartford, etc.). Anyone know why this is? I can't imagine they'd sell the lesser seats for the higher price during the presale online, while selling them for regular price via mailorder and/or when they eventually go on sale to the public... but then again it would depend on what shady ticket company was in charge. Anyway, based on the ticket prices I'm probably going to mail order- at least I know what I SHOULD be getting when I pay $100 for a ticket to MSG, and it seems like the only way to get the cheap tickets to the E. Rutherford shows. If they would just make it clear on the site what tickets are being sold for that price... Anyway, it's gonna be a wonderfully strange time regardless... see you on Shakedown Street!

So the tickets are going thru music today, I already have a musictoday account, i guess this is a separate account on dead.net? hope this whole registration thing on the dead site doesnt fuck up tomorrow. Who ever is in charge of logistics for this tour should be off the "bus"! Christ! They dont even know whats going on I.E "We've learned from the ticket vendor that you must create an account to place an order" This just coming out less than 24 hours away from the pre-sale. God, buddah, muhammad, somebody help us!

you are exactly right on track. Who cares on the cost. I almost pucked from being excited when I saw the website change with new info. I would have payed twice today's rate and sat in the parking lot if I knew it would have been Jerry's last show back then. Being able to see the four of them together and see the magic in person possibly one last time!! At least I'm enjoyin' the Ride!! GratefulParks

They won't sell out on the presale. This isn't The Stones or The Eagles. If you don't have the cash, don't buy them. If you do, get them when you can. Most venues i've been to over the past couple decades didn't sell out, I doubt these big arena shows will. Personally, I wish they would have chosen smaller places to play to keep the room full. It's been a bummer on ratdog shows looking behind me and seeing empty seats.

does anyone know if there is any talk of sticking an alpine valley show into the line-up? i cant believe that with alpines rich place in dead history that they would skip it on their potentially last tour?! i will be at a show, i'll probably have to catch the allstate, but wouldnt it be great to gather on the rolling hill at alpine valley and dance to the dead with the grass under your bare toes again? what do we need to do to get a show at alpine? anyone ?

Well guess who sold out now. The Dead. Here we are in troubled times, a national Depression on the crest of the wave and the boys want us to shell out $100 a ticket. Change is here ok. When we really need a break the Dead break our banks.Thanks a mil. Bucks that is.

is it possible the access code is the "security code" that had to be entered after the user name and password were entered? I hope not because I didn't write it down. The reason I'm asking is because I just received an email that didn't mention anything about the access code.

Look with now a days inflation. Does it really suprise you that its this much. For that matter I hear all you cry & complain but come on its the Dead & you dont think its worth it. Yea it may not be as little of cost as it was 30 yrs ago but today is today & who knows when we will see these guys back on stage. Let alone what may happen to then in the up coming years. So a certain price you may not feel is fair. Just think how you would feel saving those couple bucks & missing one of the last Dead shows, cuz we all know theres not gonna be to much more. Hell thats my 2 cents but what do I know!

i was gonna go to 3-5 shows then just one but now i think im gonna go to two. Im gonna buy a a good seat for one show and a cheapo ticket for the other (<----cheapo ticket? does that exist?) See im thinking since everybodys pissed that the tickets are so expense maybe the place will only be half full and i can get to a better seat, maybe even the floor. Or just dose the security guard and come back in 30 min and we'll both go down to the floor and have a good time.

no i don't think the "security code" would be an access code. that's just to keep automated responses at rest. On to a different subject... people complaining about the price of tix... my husband and i spent $100 a pop plus hotel room for the allman bros and bob weir in chicago last year. We are thrilled the tix are only $100 for the number of bands you will see on this tour. We missed the obama show. been kickin ourselves ever since. when we heard of this we decided right away, and with no clue what the cost, WE ARE SOOOO THERE!

it's not just the $100 tickets. it's also the VIP packages that it appears have basically locked up the first 10 rows...the DEAD...VIP PACKAGES???? Unreal. I'm not even sure it makes good economic sense for the band...They're gonna walk out on stage every night to a lot of expensive--and empty--seats.
