    Favorite Venues
    Yeah, favorite venues. Great idea! For me it would be the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago (acoustically perfect) and Alpine Valley Music Theatre, an outdoor venue in Wisconsin.

    Venues!
    We always speak of the years and band formations and specific shows we'd like to find released. Just a mention that there are also many fabulous, storied venues which are unrepresented by official releases. This would be a perfect year to address that. The two that top my list: Red Rocks, CO The Avalon ballroom

    Longshoreman's Hall 4-24-66
    Viola Lee Blues ; Midnight Hour (Midnight Hour is A+) BIODTL and a few other songs, plus a Jam with I believe Jorma and Jack Cassady. Seems to be very rare stuff. Dicks Picks 16. One of my favorite Dire Wolf and High Time. Wow 1969 shows that need to be considered. Has a lot so I will leave out box set stuff/compilation material runs like Ark, Avalon, other Fillmore West/East 2-7-69 Stanley Theater 2-22-69 Dream Bowl 3-28-69 Modesto 10-25-69 Winterland 11-2-69 Family Dog 11-7-69,, I think all these shows have Dark Star and plenty of other treats to offer. And anything from December 26-31, 1969. I will also take 1-2-70. The Dark Star is that good

Being in limbo is bonding, just like being a Head! We should all meet up in Chicago and have a good laugh about this 4th of July weekend! Love you all in limbo. Just like your mommma said, good things come to those who wait!

After suffering the same mega-stress as the rest of you, waiting for any news of my fate, constantly checking email the past few days and dreading opening the mailbox down the street every day, I was so fortunate to receive "Congratulations" email #399 at 10:55 PM MST last night (which I foolishly read at 2:45 AM when I woke up for a few minutes and naturally didn't go back to sleep since I was so excited!)So yes, there are definitely other heads in Arizona, and GDTS TOO is working late at night to get the emails out. Two tickets to each night; I am taking my son who has always wanted to go to a Dead concert but was too young when Jerry passed (or should I say he is taking me since he was the one who first called and invited me to go when the concerts were announced). My first concert was early 1971, and the Dead are essential to my life, like the rest of you! I wish everyone best of luck with the rest of the mail order and TM tomorrow!

"No permission to access / on this server." Is this Finland only or does everyone has the same? I got in earlier but not anymore.

Remember that auctions are subject to manipulation and not necessarily representative of the market. There are always exceptions to the rule and a handful of consumers willing to pay over market value. Just hold tight and don't give in to the extortionists. The tickets will come for those who are persistent with all efforts and insistent that the opportunists not be unjustly enriched!

If you are at a Grateful Dead show, what is the difference between a scalper and a rose? Nothing. The pricks are on the outside.

Makes me wish I had a pair of tix, sure could use the money,can't believe it's worth it to people to see these(1show) incredible the hype surrounding these shows, Now all these shows are sold out ,they can announce shows leading up to the last time ever or maybe a tour after, minus a drummer.

Funny I remember not going to a show in Providence RI ( maybe '86 or '87) because someone I knew had paid $30 for a tix & I didn't want to pay that much & wound up not getting in,taking my chances outside before the show. How times have changed

sometimes only trying to get one ticket will get you in faster than multiple tickets, one is better than none.

For anyone reading this right now - may the 4 winds blow a ticket safely home to you in 10 minutes when TM opens. I have been blessed with an email and want to share good vibes with all still trying to get to the show. I'll see you all there! Be Kind

had the same thing happen on one computer started over, and its just spinning keeps refreshing itself and saying 15 minute wait or more. other computer says same thing but its at 12 mins down from 45. third computer has the same 15 minutes or more due to higher traffic than usual. dorsnt seem to be going anywhere. says to not leave page or process starts over. anyone actually seeing a soldout message yet. it must be by now! wayching these continual spinning messages is about to fry my brain....just want to know if theres reason to even still be trying? goid luck!

For anyone who may be lucky enough to have 2 extra tickets for 7/3 only (haha) - I have two nights reserved at a downtown hotel (7/2 and 7/3). Would love to work out some sort of trade off. Oh, and I booked before hotel prices went through the roof. Still hoping here in Annapolis...
