    Got it at 12:02AM. Subject
    Got it at 12:02AM. Subject says "Roseland Confirmation". Body of email is sparse. Venue instructions, time and location of show, and my name in bold print. Has a link at the bottom for Dead.net complete contest rules.BTW, I sent GDTSTOO a rather direct email about an hour ago telling them what I thought about the whole shebang.

    Confusion about "Guest" - Help Dead.net, need some clarity (^_^)
    I am a winner for Roseland and I did not see any place on my entry form to enter in the name of a guest. My winning email clearly states that "I have been selected to receive (2) tickets" but I do then also see on the email that it says, "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." And, my winning email has my name as BOTH the Winner and the Guest! Myself (Winner) and my guest are driving from very far tomorrow for the show, so we hope to get some clarity on this here in the next 12 hours before we hit the road! Boy this is confusing!!! I am praying that this is like how they did it when Phish played at the Filmore and you simply need to show up at the door with your guest (whoever it is) and if your name is on the list (as the winner) for 2 tickets it gets you both in. If someone from Dead.net gets this with any affirmation or clarity on this you can email me a response directly at antonio@dailypassion.com See you on the dance floor! (^_^)

    Further evidence that the latter part of the email related to the sweepstake entry on Friday from 6-9 is because this is what the entry form asked for, which is in the fine print of your email: Entrant's First Name Entrant's Last Name Entrant's Email address First Name of Entrant's Guest Last Name of Entrant's Guest

    This is the email I got. The top portion clearly does not sound like a sweepstakes entry. I took it that I had won. I figured the bottom portion of the email related to the initial entry into the sweepstakes from 6-9pm on Friday. When I get an email stating "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event", I take it to mean "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event".

    O.K. Here is the original e-mail I received from GDTS
    In the subject line: The Dead 3/30/09 Roseland Ballroom - you've been selected Hello, You have been selected for the GDTS TOO allotment of tickets for The Dead's performance at the Roseland Ballroom on Monday, March 30, 2009 at 11:00 PM. The intention of this small venue show is to provide an opportunity for fans to see The Dead in an intimate setting for free. Here's the deal.... You must respond to this email by Saturday, March 28 at high noon! Do not phone or email with any questions or you will be disqualified! This offer is non transferable, it is for you only! You and your guest must have a photo ID for entrance into the show. 2 tickets per person limit No tickets will be mailed out. You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event. Once at the venue all concertgoers 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. Once confirmed you will be allowed entrance into the concert. To avoid long lines; you are strongly encouraged to arrive early. You must enter the venue upon arrival and there are no in/out privileges. Please return this email with an "accept" or "decline" in the subject box. Again, this email must be returned by Saturday at High Noon. I responded "accept" and that was the last I heard from them.

"I am sure the guys are invested in the same markets that most people are that just took a big dump." If that's the case then they should realize that we just don't have the money. We hadn't planned to do alot of shows...just the ones in Philly, but with only one income due to my losing my job back in August, $400 is just out of our reach...we've got more important things to spend that kind of money on...like housing, food, utilities....just the basics... They've sold us out...

Don't punish yourself over the prices..... You have about as much control over that as you do over "The Bail Out" If you think it matters weather you go to the shows or not your mistaken. These shows will sell out and they wight have to add shows because of the demand. If you don't go someone else will. And it's only gonna get worse...There is no regulation. There never has been. It's 2009 not 1970..........Bill Graham is long gone.

...you go to the shows or not your mistaken." Matters to me. I have to look in the mirror in the morning. It's their right to charge whatever they want to for tickets. It's my right to say, "thanks for the memories, but you're gutting what this used to be about." I don't want any part of it.

Wow, This is incredible!!! I live in Scranton Pa. I have 9 shows all within driving distance from home. The closest is Wilkes-Barre at 17 miles the furthest is Buffalo about 5hrs... Tic prices are a bit steep to make all the shows but If I were only back in my twentys minus the wife and kids I would be on the road again. I always said this is the best place to live for concerts. 125mi. from both Philly and NYC. I am Going to Wilkes-Barre and both Spectrum Shows. I will try for a MSG as well hope to see ya there!!!! Music is why I love life so much. Live music only makes it better. In music, I beleive everyone can find PEACE..... Sadly the world isn't ready..

Sure everything costs more these days, but they have sold out to class warfare. Used to be everyone paid the same price and got a fair shot at decent seats. It's bad enuf the scalpers always manage to scoop up the best seats, but now the band is engaged in scalping themselves. VIP seats for a couple hundred dollars a piece?!? Or pay $45.00 more for "better" seats---and they don't even tell you where those seats may be. Then the online presale eliminates the "cheaper" tix altogether for most venues. WTF? My first dead ticket cost $6.50. I don't mind paying more but this is insulting and a ripoff of the fans that got them where they are thru good times and bad. At Penn State, I couldn't give extra tix away. If these shows fail to sell due to this BS it will only lessen the probability of future shows.

The price of tickets to big-name acts has risen steadily and spectacularly. Some top ticket prices at Madison Square Garden in 2007 and 2008 (not including any VIP tickets that may have been offered): Bob Seger, $79.00 Ozzy Osbourne, $79.75 Neil Diamond, $120.00 Rush, $129.50 Van Halen, $149.50 Barry Manilow, $150.00 Roger Waters, $174.50 Celine Dion, $189.50 Jimmy Buffet $201.50 The Police, $254.50 Steve Winwood & Eric Clapton, $254.50 Genesis, $256.50 So $100 is not out of line. I don't completely buy the story about how expensive it is to tour today. It undoubtedly is, but I believe the reason tix are so expensive is because the performers want to have a big pay day.

Yes people are freaking out about the ticket prices, it is shocking but have you been to a football game, Hockey game or a Basketball game recently? That’s is what is out of control!!!! The ticket prices are in line with what other bands are charging in this day and age. The good news is you have a few options that will be cheaper that the $100 seats. Some acts are charging more for tickets just to keep the scalpers away from the good seats. I go to a ton of shows and the ticket prices usually range from $70 – $150 and up to $400 (Sting as an example) http://public.fotki.com/araslich/concerts/

I have my memories of the great 1993 run of shows that I went to and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I did see The Other Ones at MSG and they put on a great show as well as both nights of the Dead at Jones Beach in 2004. But with the state of the economy today and people losing jobs left and right... I can't justify spending 100+ on a concert ticket.

So I am down on the registering and so forth but where should we be parked at noon? I mean should we be at the venue page off of this http://www.deadtickets.rlc.net/TheDead/calendar.aspx So click on Greensboro and just keep reloading that and hope that the "Ticket Info" link will change to "ok you can order tickets now" from what it is now: "Tickets for this event go on sale Tuesday, January 13 at noon EST." thanks, pokey

Just a Heads up for those getting tickets today especially with alot of peeps being low on funds.. I have used music today several times and they do charge an extra service charge, also beware of the mailing options for they automatically put you on the most expensive mailing option but you can change that option but you have to click that option, there is no access code or password, all you have to do is registor and then when you go back to the site tomorrow all you have to do is sign in with the password you made. This is not rocket science and very user friendly

Here are the facts: 1. The 60s, the 70s, the 80s, and even the 90s are gone, deal with it. The notion that the Dead were different, but have now sold out is quaint, but ignorant. They have adopted the corporate culture long ago. 2. The guys ( and their suits) are entitled to charge what they think the market will generate. If they overcharged, then the venues will not fill up. If they fill the arenas, then they priced it at the right level. In any event, the market will determine the correct price level, not your whining. 3. If you are suffering from these unfortunate economic times, then you shouldn't be spending ANY money on concert tickets, so the difference between 50 or 100 bucks is not a factor. 4. If you really want to see the boys, you can probably find a way. This is real life folks, you make decisions and sacrifices every day. 5. When you compare the prices with the costs of other entertainment today, they are not really out of line. That being said, I hope everyone who wants to go can somehow get a ticket and be able to enjoy the music. Peace. "Let there be songs to fill the air."

Im not saying the dead dont deserve what the other artist are getting for a show, cause their just as good musicians as any of the other mega bands but it was the mindset the dead always carried knowing they didnt need to charge that nor did they want to. It was more about the music and getting people and themselves off and resisting the corpartions, after all thats how the grateful dead ticket service got started was trying to get away from the corporations putting their hand in the till. I've thought about it alot, im not so mad anymore about the ticket prices as i am that i feel the dead have lost their way and their values.

Don't blame the band....blame the market for the prices. Greed drives this process If people were not willing to pay so much the ones with their hands out (Promoters) would have to settle for what ever they could get. Even in a depression....people still party....still need to be entertained....and most of all need to be sedated.

I posted this yesterday prior to knowing who was handling tickets..Now that we do know ..Here is the link from this site http://www.deadtickets.rlc.net/TheDead/shopper.aspx 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 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 Ticket site 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

thanks for those instructions - could those bitching about ticket prices leave this area clear for those of us willing to pay so we can work with each other to figure it out? I am not sure where you people have been - rock shows are expensive now. If you don't like it, don't go. The Dead is a rock band, not some nonprofit circus. poke

I am sorry but when people pay 12.00 to get in a movie not including snack, drink and possibly dinner when you can own the DVD 3 months later and enjoy it almost just as much I have no problem paying for a day with the Dead since that memmory will last forever and I am not being shushed or having to listen to a ceell phone going off in the back ground..You get what you pay for a 1 night with the Dead during these times is priceless..People waste countless amounts of money every day on doctor bills and prescription to get by...For me the docotrs will be in the pffice @ Shoreline May 10th

Its shocks me how unselfish the boys have been for decades, proving over and over again how much they care about the fans. They are actually putting 4 seperate bands on hold to make this tour happen. Imagine the personal sacrifices involved in all the peoples lives revolving around those bands. They are doing this for us. Not the money. If they were about the money it would have happened about 30 years ago. I am pretty disappointed in this knee jerk reaction to a band that has given us so much for so long. Personally I would walk through fire to see them again. I understand wanting to see them so bad and being frustrated about not being able to afford it. Its been a reality of mine most of my life. I have seen about a third of the shows I would have had money never been an issue. That said thank yo to everyone that has helped make this tour possible! I am entirely grateful for even a possiblity to see more shows! 42% of all statistics are made up.

Hope the ticket site can handle the traffic it's about to get. Glad I know the Verizon Center in DC well so I'll have an idea where the tickets they offer are located. Maybe I'll buy an extra and invite the new guy in the big white house nearby...... Sometimes we live no particular way but our own

I am with you about the Grateful Dead being different and going their own way. Its part of what made them and the scene so special. The point of my post is that those days are long gone. On the other hand, I will always cherish the times when they and the whole Deadhead scene were special and when I was on the bus. My advice: DONT LET WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW RUIN THOSE MEMORIES.

that possibly these painfully outrageous prices are simply presale prices and the nationwide prices will be lower? it makes sense, because otherwise there's no point in a presale. most bands make presales available to people who have bought the album or pay extra money. i have an hour to figure this out.
