    Poor Blues for Allah
    It ain't the best of the Dead if it only has one song from Blues for Allah. Not even Franklin's Tower? (Should have Help/Slip too of course). The retort might be, "well, then what would you remove to make room?" How about Miracle and Far From Me? Of course, this is all academic since this isn't aimed at us. But if I were trying to turn a newbie on to the Dead, I'd want some more Blues for Allah stuff... One thing is for sure - this is a reminder that their studio output is better than they get credit for, because there are a lot of songs that could be added to this list. You know, I think I'll pull out some of the albums, starting with Shakedown Street (I got a hankerin' for FRANCE!!!)

Thanks man! Prayers and good luck to you as well. If I make it, I will look for the '80 Chevette. If I get tix I will PM you for the color of your vehicle. For those who have not been notified yet, there's still time. It's not Feb 28 @ 10AM CST. I'm sure the kind folks at GDTS TOO will be working hard all night to get out those notifications. Be kind and don't bash them, they are slaving away for all of us...

We are trying to let as many folks as possible know their status before the onsale date. Emails will go out to the winners starting in the next two days. Your chances of receiving tickets from us are 1 in 10, so if you have not received a winner’s email from us by the on-sale date, you may want to consider on line ticket sales to increase your chances. congratulations to winners!!! still in limbo and hoping

Yes, the site was updated 2 days ago with something that basically did not say too much, other that if you don't have a confirmation, then please try via on-line ticketing. Which I guess is fine if you have the extra cash. I don't think it is "picking" on people to try to make suggestions that might help many understand where things are at TODAY, right before the on-line tickets go on sale.

As someone that did not do mail order (never did in the past either), watched the AXS presale go away (to provide more tickets for mail orders?), and got shut out at the CID package sale today, I hope that everyone gets that miracle at Ticketmaster tomorrow. With that said... Please don't buy extra tickets tomorrow. Buy tickets to match the number of butts you actually have to put in the seats, but not extras. We all know there is a very limited ticket pool and for every extra ticket purchased, one less Deadhead gets a ticket. As I've heard others here say already, I will not be going to Chicago without a ticket in hand (I'm in los Angeles) and I will not pay scalpers for a ticket either (Stubhub included), so I am hoping for a miracle on Ticketmaster tomorrow. Please be kind and leave the extra tickets for your fellow Deadheads. Miracles for everyone! Tom Carr Ticketless in Los Angeles

I do not think there is a one to one correspondence between the # in the email title and the number of recipients of that particular email. It seems to me that multiple people have reported receiving the same # in the title of their email so these are probably small batches rather than one for one. Just a thought - keep your fingers crossed as there seem to be some emails going out today.

Seems to be 1:1 to me... If we are in the 400's now, if 1:10 will be honored as promised, they will likely go to around 660 of 66000 requests, some asked for 1 ticket for 1 show others 4 tix for all 3.... There is still hope

Dear GDTStoo, Perhaps you're saving my ticket request to fill in the coveted batch #420. Please that's not necessary, fill free to honor it immediately if desired. My SASE is enjoying vacationing at the beach at doesn't want to come home until June. Warmest regards Thank You and.....Stay in touch

They've generally gone our around 11am PST, only seems to be once a day for about an hour. Yesterday a couple people reported getting them at 7:30ish PST as well. Still in limbo. Money orders still in the system, no pink slip, no email. Can't wait 'til it's over.

Hey now...I have a room...a nice one in the Trump Towers...(2 miles away from venue) that I would happily share with someone who could provide me with face value ticket/tickets of any kind... :-) No need to schlep in from the outer reaches or pay big dollars to stay near the field.

I've read the message over and I think emails will continue to go out after sales tomorrow. They said if we haven't heard before TM sales we may want to increase our chances of getting tickets by trying to purchase from TM. That leads me to believe they are trying to let us know tonight but they are overwhelmed. Thoughts?

According to the latest post on dead50com. You still have a small chance if you do not receive an email from us by the on-sale date, however, you may want to consider on line ticket sales to increase your chances. I take this as they are concentrating on getting out the winners. If you don't receive your e-mail by tomorrow your most likely SOL!

brock9281, that "mail order is over" message has been there since 1/21 or 1/22, it just means that you can no longer send an envelope. The only update they've done since a few days ago is "Happy Birthday crewmember Pete". Happy Birthday Pete!
