    Yeah I heard about that too- I think you should visualize an image from one of your favorite songs and run with it--About the HEAT at the Dead shows- I have an old friend who's a local cop and he heard Mass. State Troopers will be targeting vehicles with Dead stickers on the highway in and around the Worcester area. Stay low-key guys-They need money and we are easy pickin's. Not trying to freak anyone out-Just tryin' to make sure everyone can have a great time with minimal hassels!!--Noonie-nice CASSIDY quote-see ya in WORC!!!!!!

    I have tickets for the concert at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA ... they sent me some information about a dead threadz event. I guess they're asking fans to make a quilt piece so they can put it together and present it to the band? It seems like a pretty cool idea... any suggestions on what I should put on it?

    There is definitely a shooting-fish-in-a-barrel quality about this for the thuggier side of law enforcement, so watch each card you play and play it slow. Sadly, the trouble with visibility is that it attracts people wanting to exploit and abuse you, in addition to more benign sorts.

This is great. Last time we saw the dead was the waive the flag tour which was great. also caught the obama beneifit in PA. After the last dead tour we followed The Bobb Dylan Show for a cpl of years but sure am stoked to be going down the road feeling bad. We are going to make it to four shows on this tour for a whopping total of $1500 in ticket for me and my girl. But well worth it. See you in Albany, Buffalo and the two night in Philly. Peace, Joe and Emily P.S. we miss u- Doozer, Shawny, Shannon, Brigit..........Not Fade Away

A person on the RatDog blog recieved his mail order tickets on Sat and has a link to ebay site where he's selling them for face value. There's a pic of the envelope with post mark and the tickets. I would say the tickets should be arriving soon.

Hey - I've been out of the loop for several years, so pardon me if this is a stupid question, or if it has been covered already... Does Candice still do the lighting design, and/or will she be involved with this tour?

We got half of our order of six (6) tickets for the Spectrum shows today. For Fri 5/2, we got three seats in Section 105 Row 2, and for Sat 5/2 (where demand exceeded supply by 50%), we got Section 213 Row 2. No complaints on either night. We'll be ~22 rows from the stage the first night, and just off the floor midway back from the stage the second night. The last lil' miracle that my group needs is for GDTS to match up our two separate orders (both envelopes were brightly decorated with the same drawings) so that all six of us are sitting (ahem, I mean dancing) in the same spot. Gotta love GDTS! I'll gladly live with a few weeks of uncertainty for great seats and none of the hassle that the on-line 'heads went through during the pre-sale. Philadelphia, here we come! 81 days to go!!

I just read an interview with Bob Weir in Relix, and he indicated that a summer tour in '09 is unlikely, but it's under consideration for '10. So it appears that Bonnaroo ain't in the cards this summer.

I'm waiting on some Shoreline tix from GDTS. Regarding the Dead this summer, I would think at least Ratdog would do a summer tour yeah? "When the smoke has cleared, she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

I lent out my Relix magazine to a friend so I can't double-check right now, but if memory serves, Weir's comments in the interview implied that it's unlikely that the Dead will tour this summer BECAUSE of commitments that the various members' bands have already made, which could mean some combination of Ratdog, P&F, Mickey and/or Bill. I haven't checked the Ratdog site recently, but hopefully they'll be on the road at part of the summer. Personally, I'm hoping for the 10,000 Lakes Festival in MN (since I live here now). Phil, Mickey and DSO all made it last year, so it's Bob's turn this time...

No kidding I sure wish they wouldn't wait until the last second. More and more it is obvious that GDTS is the way to go. If they sell out THEN get online.

Tam and other online orderers - I got tix for both nights at Worcester and the Hartford show during the presale and have not gotten those tix yet, but I got one for Albany too once they went on sale to the public and that showed up about a week after placing the order. Have to wait on those presale tix though, but I'll be happy to have them in hand. Can't wait!

Don't know if you saw this....sugarmegged to me this afternoon. Here's some good news and it's about time. Let's see how far it gets: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20090209/ticketmas ter_090209/20090209?hub=TopStories Suit alleges Ticketmaster broke anti-scalping law Updated Mon. Feb. 9 2009 1:30 PM ET CTV.ca News Staff A $500-million class action lawsuit has been launched against Ticketmaster and related groups, claiming the ticket seller conspired to "scalp" its own tickets. The suit alleges that Ticketmaster has diverted tickets to concerts and other popular events away from its own regular website, Ticketmaster.ca, over to its ticket-brokering website TicketsNow.com. TicketsNow allows people who have tickets to exchange, trade or sell tickets at marked- up prices. Lawyers from Sutts, Strosberg in Windsor, Ont., and Branch McMaster in Vancouver say they're representing a client who allegedly paid more than $530 for two concert tickets from TicketsNow that would have cost about $130 if they had been available from Ticketmaster. The client had attempted to buy the tickets through Ticketmaster's regular website and was directed him to the higher-priced tickets on the TicketsNow website. The firms say other event-goers have been overcharged in the same way when they bought tickets from Ticketmaster.ca or TicketsNow.com since February 2007. They allege the defendants violated Ontario's "anti-scalping" laws, contending that the practice of selling tickets in the secondary market for amounts that exceed their face price violates the legislation. The law firms claim Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc., Ticketmaster Canada Ltd., TNOW Entertainment Group, Inc., and Premium Inventory, INC. owe $500 million in damages to those who were overcharged. The firms allege that Ticketmaster deliberately limits the number of tickets that are sold at face price and then diverts tickets to TicketsNow, where they can be sold for amounts that exceed their face value. "Customers have voiced concerns over the fact that tickets for the most popular events can ostensibly sell out in minutes, only to become immediately available in the secondary market at much higher prices," said Luciana Brasil of Branch McMaster, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiff. "The mere fact that Ticketmaster has a financial interest in both retail and premium ticket sales leads to an obvious question about the process by which those tickets are sold to members of the public and how it works," said Jay Strosberg of Sutts Strosberg LLP, another of the lawyers representing the plaintiff. Ticketmaster has said in response to prior complaints that the company's ticket-selling system is fair and doesn't violate the law. The class action aims to represent all persons who bought tickets for an event in Ontario from Ticketmaster or through TicketsNow.com from and after February 9, 2007. More information on the suit can be found at www.ticketmasterclassaction.com. Earlier this month, Bruce Springsteen expressed anger with Ticketmaster's selling practices. He said he has heard from fans who wanted to see him play at New Jersey's Meadowlands that they received an error message on their computer screen that shut them out of the main Ticketmaster website. The potential ticket-buyers then saw an ad for Ticketmaster subsidiary TicketsNow offering tickets for hundreds of dollars more than face value. Springsteen said on his website that he and the E Street Band are "furious." "We perceive this as a pure conflict of interest," the band said. The band said it had received assurances from Ticketmaster that it will stop redirecting Springsteen fans to TicketsNow. ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

I received my tickets for both Spectrum shows, today!Floor seats both nights! Thank you Dead! Thank you GDTS TOO! The only reason I'm not jumping for joy is to write this post. I can't jump and type. Also, this is my first post on the dead.net forums... Hello friends! See you at the show! "Please don't be sad if it was a straight line you had We wouldn't have known you all these years"

I am pretty sure no one has received their pre-sale tickets yet (musictoday). I guess mail order tickets are starting to arrive but not those. I have a bad feeling musictoday is going to make us wait until the last minute! "When the smoke has cleared, she said, that's what she said to me.

I orginally only had the budget for two shows so I did mail order for Denver and Shoreline. I haven't gotten those tixs yet. I came up with some extra scratch just before the general on sale. So I got a ticket for the Forum through Ticketbastard which I received in less than a week - looks like I will be sitting with Jerry for that show ;-} lol! I would like to catch up with anyone interested in getting together at the Forum send me a PM if you want...... Peaceful Journey to you all - Saint Stephen with a rose.

I'll be at both PA shows with some friends -- five from MN and one from SC -- all of us "bus riders" since the 70s. Our tickets are kinda all over (we're split between 105 & 213 the first night, and 213 & 216 the second). While none of us have been to a show at the Spectrum before (we picked it 'cause it's a two-night run...gotta see at least two shows since we're traveling), other 'heads we know have and assure us that the parking lot scene will be great (perhaps even a bit emotional for the locals, as the arena is to be demolished later this year), so we're all looking forward to engaging in the pre- and post-show "community". I imagine threads will get started by tour site before long, allowing for some rendezvous arrangements.

bartmc - Your post got me excited. Can't spend 20 + hrs. to get to a show now (closest one), but will spend 3 to get to the Gorge. Looked around and didn't see any mention of this yet. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake
