    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.

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.

Everyone stops the bullshit about this that the other ones and remember what's it about. The Music! Does anyone remember the music? The way it made you feel the first time you heard it? Maybe it was China Cat or Estimated Prophet? All of a sudden, out of nowhere, you need to get up and dance. And then, everybody's dancing. The music is what draws us in together. The music is what brings the band together. Not everyone gets the Dead. We get it. The music will never stop. I'm sure everyone has a song that they have enjoyed over the years with someone dear to them that is no longer with us. Be thankful that you get the chance to be here at this time to enjoy life with new people, new dreams and new hope. Hey that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. The stars were spinning dizzy, But the band kept us so busy We forgot about the time. "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."

"Well it sounded so sweet. I had to take me a chance,I rose out of me seat, Lord I had to dance, Started moving my feet, and clapping my hands." Going 'round and 'round... The Grateful Dead were a dance band. The Music man! Well said.

Reading through this, this does not surprise me. Just got an email from Sugarmegs.org (i've been working alot throughout all of this) and they said ALL the Mail orders have been fulfilled, except for a few (1 out of 3 ain't bad for Shoreline) and this is all just wrong. I used to mail order everytime for shows, only got shut out once. Needless to say, I suspected that Ticket Bastard and others did this for along time before this. NOW I KNOW. "It's a sign of the times", people say. "It's all about the Benjamins", others do. But really? I don't blame the band at all. They are just musicians that are the best in the world....think of how many bands they've influenced, why so much GREED? So wrong. Thank God I got my tickets to Chicago. I'm skeptical about getting any for Shoreline. Most of my headicated friends from home (Bay Area) had to work at the time of the presale too, except for the mail orders, and "tried" to buy tickets through Ticket Bastard to no evail. I'm so excited to see these shows, I've been dancin and singing all over town. Yet, this really pisses me off. Thank you to all on this forum for letting me know that at the very least, WE all still have our original values. There are some really good people in this community, so let's just stay true to each other, and say FUCK the money monger bastards! I can't wait to see the boys in full swing, making me feel like I'm home again. Blowing my mind, and melting my innards. Thank you Billy, Bobby, Phil, Mickey, Warren, and Jeff for letting me know you are NOT apart of this rape! ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

Am I reading correctly or incorrectly that it sounds like Ticketmaster sold, "allotted" or whatever, huge blocks of tickets to their sister company TicketNow? Ie: direct to scalper agency instead of to the public?********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

But isn't scalpers BEFORE public ass-backwards? Setting the public up for higher priced tix, from the get-go? Like "if you wanna see this show, bow down and beg, and pay out the nose"?Simple business calculations would seem to indicate that every party involved in selling these tickets earns their percentage on them, making the end price higer, after every extra agency they go through. ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

February 1st, 1960 marks the 49th anniversary of the fateful day four brave black students sat down at a segregated lunch counter in a woolworth's store in Greensboro and made history. The counter's chairs and stools were for whites only, while blacks had to stand to eat. The four were refused service, but were allowed to stay. The next day, 28 students joined the sit-in, and the next there were 300 more. About 5 months later, 3 major stores changed there policies to allow intergrated counters. 4 yrs later the civil rights act was signed by LBJ.How cool is that? I remember the day when hippies, long hairs and dead heads were treated the same way. Like once in a restaurant in Ohio in l969 when we were refused service due to our appearance. Thank the stars for people like these students and dead heads everywhere for standing up for what you believe in. "We will survive"

I for some reason you can not find space in a room there is a deneys right there sure you could sleep there(in you van)

State websites usualy list where their rest area's are. Find one close and crash there, thats what im doing. Look up truck stops too, they have shower rooms you can use also for like $6-$8 if your the type that needs a shower. You can look up car pool lots also, there's many places to crash. Just dont get so tanked you cant make it, nothing spoils a tour like having to deal with the law.

I guarantee you can't camp in Chicago as well. I'll bet the parking lot scene will be sketchy to say the least. Maybe for a few hours before the show....personally I don't even drive downtown to see shows, train it from one of the many places in the 'burbs you can spend the night in your car. All great suggestions so far, if you need to park somewhere close, I recommend parking near Giordano's at Van Buren and Halsted...or just south near the Italian row of restuarants. We'll be heading away from the venue before the show for the whole day before, then heading down about 2 hours before the doors open. PM me if you need anymore info. ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

Just got lawn tix for Shoreline on Livenation. $35.00 each plus the rapage fee and parking. I couldn't be happier (except for if they were to add another show or two). :) :) :)

I keep seeing people saying they can't get Shoreline tickets on Ticketmaster without being redirected to Tickets Now. That's because Shoreline tickets are sold at livenation.com. Lawn tickets are still available. Maybe you can even still get lucky and pull reserved. I got section 203, row U. Crossing my fingers for mail order. If my husband is a lucky 1 in 3, we'll have a couple of reserved for sale at our cost. SCALPERS SUCK!

I will be traveling East from Denver for 6 shows; Buffalo, Wilkes Barre, Uniondale, MSG, Hartford, and East Rutherford. Any local places to gather before the shows or are people just going to be in the arena parking lots? Also, any local campgrounds or local tips where I can "Rest my bones" at the end of the night? I did figure out that I can take the "E-Train" from Queens the day after the Nassau Coliseum show and it will take me to the MSG show (Penn Station). Leaving my vehicle near Nassau instead of driving into Manhattan. Any other tips?

rosa rugosa I wish you well, and I really love your analogy of Jerry being gone from the band being akin to losing your Mom from the family. It can even make you cherish your remaining family even more! I thought that you summed it up perfectly. I missed Jerry, but I can't travel back in time to see him, so I'm just really grateful that I didn't miss the boat completely and will get to see the rest of the band in April (both Worc shows, can hardly wait!)

Tell me friend, have you noticed of late, how only the strange remain? It's actually been a trip lately picking through my old cassestes (they still work -- aftter all these years!) and hearing some really great audience tapes. You ever checked a really good copy of an audience tape vs. DPs for Salt Palace 73? The Other One is truly awesome. Phil's intro is captured very well in the DP version, but the tape I have really NAILS Jerry's jamming later in the song, along with Bobby & Phil. A tip of the hat this morning to all those tapers out there over the years who made it possible! BOYCOTT THE NITROUS MAFIA THIS TOUR! JUST SAY NO TO HIPPY CRACK!

rosa rugosaWe're from Saugus, and funny enough, my husband has seen the dead many times, but these will be my first shows! I've seen and enjoyed Ratdog several times. We were lucky enough to get tickets from the online presale, about $218. a pair with fees, etc. Couldn't even try until we got home from work at 6:30 PM on the thirteenth, so I think we were really fortunate!

I have searched this site and the GDSSTOO(or whatever it is) site and cannot find any info on status of mail order. A friend of mine sent me a bulletin(from where I don't know) about the status of mail order. I just wanted to double check with the source to see if it was true that we were getting all the tix we ordered! WOOT WOOT Can someone point me in that direction? I am getting a little let down on how hard it is to find out some info on shows lately. What is all the secrecy about? I signed up MONTHS ago and then again when the word came out about tour for the email alert. Well, I got ONE email the DAY before mail order went down and NO word about online ticketing. Had to find that out thru friends but its all good. Then on the day of mail order AND online tix sales, I get a message on email at 2:30 that tix are sale online. Several hours too late in my opinion! lol So is there any news on the status of mail order? Please someone help! lol Hope that everyone got the tix they wanted and don't support scalpers!

Looks like MSG, Spectrum & Shoreline were the only shows to sell out completely. What percentage of those tickets went to scalpers is unknown. Seems like states that have strong laws against scalping (Ma. Ct. etc.) were on sale easily. Others got directed to resale sites. Tickets were available from alternate sources, but sailed under radar until those in the know had theirs (typical). Mail order sure looked like the way to go, many thanks go out to those still running that operation. As I suspected, every other venue still has tickets for sale at the sale price (plus the vig). There will be shows that never sell out entirely. That was predictable. All things considered, it is shaping up to be a very comfortable tour for the dedicated. Shakedown St. should be fully operational at most venues. Ten mile skid on a nine mile drive.

rosa rugosaWhat is it with us wives? I'm just glad my husband didn't give up on me - it took me a long time to get it, but now all I ever want to listen to is The Dead (or Ratdog, or JGB). Making up for lost time! Good luck getting tickets, Noonie!

Hoping for tickets to Shoreline. Had my bookmarks set. I log in. Takes a bit but I am in. I sit and fiddle...kinda hung over. I click on "more info", since the tickets aint offered yet. IT LOGS ME OUT!ARGGGGG!! What have I done??? (Spoiler, this gets a bit graphic, reader discretion advised.) I been on two kinds of anti-biotics for a few days... and was drinking the night before...know what a "shart" is? I run to the bathroom... (lmao) Clean myself up as best I can... 8:59AM I am back... not logged in. I sit and watch the little blue line crawl as I berate myself for ever clicking on "more info". I further wish I hadn't gotten drunk the night before... so anyhow, I say a prayer and switch to 64bit Internet Explorer. I get in! SMILING NOW..... till nothing happens.... watching the blue line crawl....OH NOW WHAT? 9:10-9:26AM I am supposed to score tickets for my brother and his wife too. 9:27AM success!!! Fast forward to the present... I testify that my prayer to God in His Son's name..Jesus was answered. Lesson from all this? Faith is rewarded and its a shitty job but someone has to be me!!!

Did anyone else fail to receive an e-mail alert from Dead.net? I just found out now that tickets for the Chicago show went on sale this past weekend, and I am seriously bummed.

This has to be a bad joke. $100 for a ticket? What the hell happened to the spirit of the 60's? Looks like the Dead has turned into another version of the Stones, the Who, the Eagles, etc. It's really too bad. I didn't think it would happen to them.

I just bought four tickets each to two Yankees games for this summer. I paid $960!!! For two freakin baseball games. The Yankees play 81 home games each year. No guarantee they will win. No guarantee it will even be a good game. Paying $100 to see a rare event like the Boys gettin back together, and experiencing the music we all love seems like a bargain to me.

If anything they should add another show at Shoreline. "Everybody's braggin' and drinking that wine, 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"

Everyones complainin about ticket prices. Heres somthin else for us on the left coast to piss and moan about. Just did some quick math. To do the entire east coast leg, total drive distance is aprox 2800mi. Total shows=16. West coast aprox 1400mi. Total shows=3. 5x the shows for 2x the driving. Plus youre still payin .25 less per gallon back there. Cmon guys, wheres the love????? What about Vegas, Monterey, Sac, Eugene, Portland. "One way or another, this darkness got to give"

No kidding - just in the distance from LA to Shoreline (about 350 miles) you could see 8 shows on the east coast (the Wilkes-Barre to Philly stretch) in almost the same distance (about 525 miles). I have read where people are trying to get into MSG but Long Island the night before is only 30 miles away with tickets to spare. Man if I lived out there I would hit all 8 of those shows without thinking twice about it! "Everybody's braggin' and drinking that wine, I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines.

why does the dead still use Ticketmaster im complaining because we got 3 of the worst tickets i have ever gotten for the the Gd,the dead,the other ones,and back to the dead.. and then you go on tickets now, and stub hub, and e-bay, and craigslist, and there are hundreds of tickets good seats available through scalpers.. i mean come on half of these tickets will not even sell they will have to eat them... its such a waste and unfair to a true fan...i pretty sure all these companies and websites are sleeping with Ticketmaster because does one get so many good tickets and a true fan cant get one good one... its a joke....

The real outrage is that Ticketsheister actually owns at least one of these "premium" sites. Obviously they funnel the best seats directly to their own site and never even make them available to the public. I don't know, but it seems illegal to me, or at least fraudulent. I wish someone from the Band would address these concerns, but I don't think they really even care. "Let there be songs to fill the air."

Stub Hub has 1525 but Tickets Now is gaining fast with 1078. So sad. GDTSTOO does a great job and the bad guys still win. Anyone have ideas? Come on Mail Order. Take care all.
