    Another TicketMaster shutout.
    So, what's it come to? I'm a long time Head, first show in '82, "on the bus" since '85. Never got shut out of New Year's shows, even. (Went to every one I tried to go to.) But this ticket sale was just crazy. . I have this one dear friend I haven't seen in years, we were going to meet in Chicago for these shows. But now that's not going to happen, unless.... Does anyone know of a "Workingman's Dead" or a "Sugar Magnolia (for 2)" travel package available, without scalping? I'm happy to pay 10% above face value, which seems reasonable "parking lot markup." But not more than that, or that would be scalping. . Peace.

    Just one?
    My partner and I have one ticket for the 4th. Looking for one more. We are driving out from California in one of our buses, he has a ’71 and I have a ’66. Not sure which one we’re taking (depends if we get mine running)but seems right to do the pilgrimage with a nice drive through Colorado, only one of us gets in though so we thought we’d ask for just one ticket … we can prove we are Deadheads. Email us at gmail to lytweaver if there is one… BTW there is a campground about an hour Northwest of Chicago that we found 20 min from Crystal Lake train station. I am sure there are more to be found at this end of the Metra Union Northwest Pacific line. This train runs from McHenry County down to Ogalvie Transit train station not far from Soldiers Field. Last train I believe is 12:30 a.m. We just aren't staying in the city and thought I'd mention this for anyone looking for options ... Thank you

    Your door beaten down on tickets yet?
    Tickets still available? I'm sure you've gotten 1000 responses already. My deal is that I haven't yet received a pinky or a congrats email, still holding out small (diminishing) hope that tickets will be forthcoming. I did have some friends who live in Montana that got tickets via MO. Haven't seen them in many moons and would love to see them again. If tickets still up, I'd buy them regardless of my MO outcome. Would like to see if I could get them early and then trade for other nights. Regardless, thanks for the kind offer. So little of that these days, still nice to see some left.

    Looking for one ticket to any of the 3 shows
    Hey now!When I heard about the show I was very excited. I saved money and set up an account on Ticketmaster. I thought I would treat myself and buy one 3day ticket, and I would still have just enough to buy the round trip train ticket to Chicago. I figured if this was the one big thing I did for myself this year, it would be worth it. I walked across town in the snow to get to a wifi hotspot early on the onsale day. I had my phone and laptop going and still never got anywhere with the process. Like so many others on here, I got stuck in the loop of Ticketmaster throwing me out of the system, with a 45 minute queue message. By the time the system finally let me in, everything was sold out of course. At this point, I would be happy to make it to just one show. I dont care which date, I would just like to go to one more show. It would be like a family reunion! I have not experienced the kindness and amazing spiritual experience that dancing at a show brings in almost ten years (NYE with Phil Lesh and Friends in SF). I miss the familial experience of tour, and while I in no way expect it to be exactly the same as it was 25 and 30 years ago, I still really want to be a part of this one last show experience. I was able to save enough to pay face value for a ticket, but the dollars that stubhub is asking for is ridiculously high! I am also willing to throw in some artwork as a partial trade if it would make the deal sweeter? Maybe check out my art and send me a message? www(dot)abstractperspectives(dot)weebly(dot)com Thank you very much in advance! Charles Firecat Burnell

    looking to trade 7/3 for 7/4 or 7/5
    Hey guys, first post here. I was extremely lucky and got a single 3 day pass (behind the stage, but still). None of my other buddies got tickets however so I'm looking to trade my Friday for Sunday (preferably) or Saturday. My seat is sec 253, row 20, seat 3. I'm not looking for a better view, anywhere inside is fine. For those looking for a room, we have an extra room at the Wyndham Grand Riverfront, about 2 miles away. Our traveling party got much smaller after Ticketmaster so we no longer need this room. I would like to use it to sweeten a trade, but if that's not necessary I can transfer it to whoever needs it. I selected UPS ground for shipping method, so my tickets should be in hand soon. I live in Alabama and my choice would be to meet somewhere in the south to trade in person before getting to Chicago.

Hey all, here is my conundrum: I am a big Dead fan and was super excited to go see them both nights at the Spectrum this May. I logged into livenation this morning at 10am, waited in cue, and bought a pair of tickets to both nights. 5 minutes after submitting my order, my girlfriend informs me that that weekend is the same weekend her brother is getting married, and that I am in the wedding. Long story short, I have 2 tickets to both nights, and need to unload them. I would like to trade any pair of the tickets below for a pair of tickets to see the Dead play at Madison Square Garden on 4/25. Ticket information: May 1, 2009 Level Section Row Seat(s) ----- ------- ----- ---------- 2 224 13 5-4 May 2, 2009 Level Section Row Seat(s) ----- ------- ----- ---------- 3 302 12 10-9

Well it's about time Congressman asks for investigation of Ticketmaster, TicketsNow over Springsteen By George Gombossy on February 3, 2009 2:44 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) PASCRELL SEEKS INVESTIGATION INTO TICKETMASTER BUSINESS PRACTICE WITH SUBSIDIARY, TICKETNOW Press release: WASHINGTON-- U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-08) today requested that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division investigate Ticketmaster's relationship with its subsidiary company, TicketsNow, following the company's handling of ticket sales for the Bruce Springsteen tour that became available on Monday February 2. Dear Chairman Kovacic: I am writing today to direct your attention to a potential conflict of interest regarding Ticketmaster and its affiliate company, TicketsNow. This issue has been brought to my attention through constituent complaints and press reports regarding the online sale of Bruce Springsteen concerts tickets at the IZOD Center in New Jersey and other locations all across the country. As you know, Ticketmaster is a large ticket sales and distribution company that often serves as a venue's sole ticketing agent. A large percentage of their sales are made online through Ticketmaster.com. In a recent effort expand its business Ticketmaster acquired TicketsNow, a website which specializes in the secondary, resale market for tickets. When tickets for Bruce Springsteen's new tour went on sale exclusively through Ticketmaster at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, February 2, 2009, scores of fans in New Jersey were met with technical difficulty on Ticketmaster.com that impaired them from making a purchase. Thousands of others who were fortunate enough to get beyond the technical problems were informed that the shows were sold out. Conspicuously placed on the same screen that informed fans of ticket unavailability was an alternative purchasing option from TicketsNow.com. It offered the same tickets at a value marked up hundreds of dollars beyond their original face value. I am troubled by how quickly tickets priced exponentially higher became available on the secondary market to thousands of rejected fans, many who also endured unfortunate technical problems on Ticketmaster.com. I am concerned that the business affiliation between Ticketmaster and TicketsNow may represent a conflict of interest that is detrimental to the average fan. There is a significant potential for abuse when one company is able to monopolize the primary market for a product and also directly manipulate, and profit from, the secondary market. Additionally, the speed with which tickets were made available on Ticketmaster's official resale affiliate site raises questions about whether TicketsNow brokers were given preferential treatment instead of competing on a level playing field with average consumers to purchase the tickets. With so many families struggling in this economy, I am outraged by how expensive tickets to ball games, concerts and other shows have become. I understand the economic principles that have driven up the cost of entertainment, but will not tolerate unjust business practices that put regular Americans at a disadvantage. I respectfully request that your office investigate the relationship between Ticketmaster and TicketsNow to ensure that the procedure for purchasing tickets remains fair to the average consumer. If you require any additional information or have any questions, please contact Arthur Mandel on my staff at (202) 225-5751. I look forward to the favor of your reply. Sincerely, Bill Pascrell, Jr. Member of Congress

I mail ordered a pair for Chicago and am hopeful that I'll get them. In an effort to hedge my luck, I was able to grab a pair from the evil Ticketmaster when tickets hit the street. If GDTSTOO comes through, I will be left with an xtra pair that I will happily lay on someone for face value. They will be of the cheap(?) $50.00 variety and as soon as I know for sure, we can pursue a path of easy transaction. If interested, PM me. see y'all out there, DooDahh His job is to shed light, not to master...

there is no way that Tickets Now can get as many good seats from their parent company Ticket Master as they do. I used to think the scalpers had a line on the good seats. Now Ticketmaster is selling the best seats to themselves and marking up the price. There must be a conflict of interest somewhere. How can this be legal? I know that New York has lame scalping laws. This is just not right. Ticketmaster set up a company that they own with first dibs on the best tickets for concerts. They mark up the tickets 200 to 300 percent. Bruce is the only one making a stink about this problem. Why aren't the Dead doing the same thing. They were the first band to try and get rid of the scalper hold on tickets. This is a new game the ticket sellers are trying to play. Ticketmaster will be bought up by the own all Clear Channel and Live Nation. I know they used to sell tickets to brokers, but to set up a company in their name is just not right. These bands should boycott ticketmaster. Pearl Jam proved it could be done.

Hey there, I bought a few too many dead tickets, and now I can't afford to go to Bonnaroo. Due to this, I have tickets each following shows up for sale/trade: Worcester 4/18 - 1 Hartford 4/26 - 2 I will gladly trade tickets for a weekend pass with camping (non-RV) to Bonnaroo. If cash is offered, I will accept no more than what I paid for the tickets. They're pricey enough as it is. All the tickets are floor seats. For more information, feel free to mail me on this site, or at me email address: redial2 [at] gmail [dot] com Thanks a ton. Also, I will be attending whichever shows I can't offload tickets for, as well as the 4/19 show in Worcester. If you're interested in carpooling, shoot me a message. -Coffee

I have 1 ticket for Buffalo (Section 121, Row 19) straight back from the stage and 1 ticket for Hartford (Section 105, Row M) right off the corner of the stage. I bought them on TicketsNow and StubHub so I am trying to get $150 / ticket. I paid more than that so I will be taking a loss. I will UPS them to you upon receiving payment. Send me a message if you are interested or else I will be someone's "miracle" in the lot.

I have two tickets for Greensboro. I have travel packages for both Washington, DC and Charlottesville, VA. I still want to go, but I don't have anyone that can use the second ticket. The problem is I need someone that can help contribute significantly. I still owe $400.00 on the travel packages, plus I need to make lodging arrangements for Sunday and Monday nights. Need someone to help pay for all that plus gas, etc. I made the reservations with the understanding that my girlfriend would help pay for the rest of it after I made deposit, but we have now broken up irrevocably. I live in North Georgia and I still really want to go to these shows, maybe I can make a new friend to accompany me?
