    If we have not recieved an email confirmation by 12:00 AM tonight can we assume that we won't be getting tickets, or will they be sending emails out after tomorrow?

Hey now, It is all about the journey not the destination. It has been a long strange trip and I hope you have enjoyed the ride. The boys have nothing to do with TM. Be grateful for 50 years of tunes, community and smiles!

My TM account has sat at "approximately 5 minutes" since 10:00:01am and has not budged. Am I toast?

Well, after a painful half hour spent on a corporate website attempting to get a fair shot at tickets, please note not expecting to get tickets, but hoping for a fair chance at tickets, and dealing with TicketMaster and their inability to predict the number of people who would flood their website trying to get tickets, would have the foresight to handle the massive requests for ANY event, much less a historical one as this.Feeling reminded that since Jerry passed, there has no longer been anything to be Grateful about. The boys have traveled down the road of corporate greed, 50+ a ticket for GA? Not that I wouldn't have paid it, but some time spent on a computer this morning was a real wake up call. I will be selling ALL my memorabilia as The Grateful Dead died in 1995. It was a long strange trip, the way they chose to end it is even stranger. Thanks for the memories, waiting for the next Band of the people. Not getting to see the show is one thing, being defecated on after all these years is another.

Complete bullshit process, cant wait to see the price of a ticket on the streets. Unbelievable way to go out with HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT. Was happier knowing GD was done than waste my time with mail order and scam TicketMaster

Well that was a fun hour of my life that I'll never get back. Damn you ticketbastard and your hypnotic and deceptive spinning balls! Still in limbo on Mail Order and none too happy about it. I still hang on to one small shred of hope that GDTS wouldn't really screw us this harshly without a rejection or return of money by this date but....

You can't win with these quick scalpers. You just can't win. Unfortunately, the days of driving my big buick to the RFK box office are long gone. My mail order was rejected and now my hope of scoring tickets online rejected. Spirit to see them one last time is dead. I will stick with the cover bands for 25 dollars a ticket.

What a huge buzzkill. 0 for 3. NO mail order, no CID, and an hour and twenty minutes of agony on TM. Nada. Happy for those that got tix and for those with wheel-barrows of cash for StubHub - prices make the super bowl look cheap.

These 50th shows are supposed to be special. The way they were handled is just plain awful. Three shows is hardly enough to meet the demand. This band and their music meant a lot to many, many people and while there are some really happy people out there right now - a lot of people are really disappointed. It's too bad that they didn't sell tickets by mail order exclusively - it would have been in the spirit of the band's history - and more of the 60,000 requests could have been honored. My question is: was it greed? Was the band required to go through CID and Ticketmaster? How were the decisions made? I'd also really like to know who decided they should play only three shows. Bobby has always been up for almost anything, so it seems likely he would have been happy to do a short tour. I heard a rumor Phil didn't want to play any more than three shows, but it is totally unsubstantiated. Even 12 dates in three cities would have been okay. Tickets would have been hard to come by, but not impossible. The fact the band chose not to do at least a short tour is puzzling and I doubt we will ever know the answer as to why. I've been a Deadhead for years and while I know the band members aren't perfect people, I have generally had a lot of respect for them. This circus around the 50th shows has made me rethink my opinion. Jerry must be rolling over in his grave. He never would have allowed this. I have always supported this band by going to see them in concert and buying official releases. But this 50th thing has left a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe I'll feel differently later, but at the moment my support is waning.

I made the mistake of going for 3 day pass instead of individual shows, 3 day pass page crashed several times and I got server errors. By the time I entered the queues for each show I was too far down the queue and missed out on all 3 shows. Bummer! Guess it wasn't meant to be, looks like my hotel room will go back into the "queue" as well.

So I'm just sitting here watching the wheel go round. Thought I'd get on resale sites on my other computer. Minimum price for 7/3 is $400+. Isn't that awesome? Hopefully true Heads won't cave to the scalpers. This is shameful. Times REALLY have changed.

Couldn't even get one ticket through on sale and still no word on mail order! I do not think this would have different with more shows. They should have had it in Black Rock Desert with all GA, at least we would all fit!

Was it same for all of us outside US? I didn't even get in to Ticketmaster.com pages. It has worked before. Also yesterday. What a disappointment it was. However for those who got tickets: Have a real good time! You are gonna have a great weekend. Forget about this mess with tickets and just have fun.

I had no problem taking time off work to get USPS money order, Jan 20 post mark, patiently waiting until rejection notice showed up on Feb 21.... Had FIVE different devices logged into TM at 10:00am (CT) with spinning balls only to turn into "no matches found" on all five after 75 minutes. Logged into daughter's TM iPhone app and immediately got two tix for July 3 show in section 215. While I am pleased to have tickets, I am very disappointed in the difficult and stressful process. I look forward to seeing some of you in Chicago.

And still no rejection letter or mail yet fingers still crossed

.... And it only held me for 5 to 10 minutes at a time and then tell me sorry and over that hour I was able to try about 8 or 9 times. Where as the wifey was on a laptop and had to wait for longer to be locked out.

Ticket Master kicked out our tickets for the last night! Not the best seats but wow am I amped, Now just need to find out my fate on mail order. . . If we do get the mail order I'll have to sell 4 @ face value to a fan but what do you think the best way to do it is?
