Grateful Dead

This is my email from Dead.net: No tickets will be mailed out. You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event. Once at the venue all concertgoers will be required to provide photo identification along with a copy of the email voucher which will be checked against our record of your confirmation. Once confirmed you will be allowed entrance into the concert.

It seems the majority of people, like myself, who got the weird reply asking for more information needed, did in fact get this from Dead.net. My email clearly states "Hello, congrats, etc...". But then goes on to clearly state that a follow up email will come and that email will serve as the ticket. I never got that follow up email and the one email I did get doesn't have my name on it. So, what do I do? Go to the Roseland Ballroom with an email printed out with just my email address on it? Again, what a drag.

No...Dead.net did NOT say they would send a follow up email.  The email from Dead.net that went to winners included the winner's and guest names at the top and directions that say THIS is the email to bring to the show.

So you think dead.net is the only one that said they would send a follow up email?

At least they could send out an e-mail saying "Sorry you were not selected" so we could have closure on this issue. I hate being strung along. First with not knowing for weeks with the mail-in until I got my money order back and now this. I have been glued to my computer for two days now.

sange post above did shed some light on the subject that there were more than just the dead.net drawing, from what I can tell ratdog.org and phillesh.net followed the same method as dead.net, you get a winning email notification and that is your ticket.. all are clear on the guest policy, not gonna be able to give it to someone else. it is the GDTS one that is fubar'd, looks like they did things differently and have left this mass confusion in their wake.. inspite of the request not to call or email I think it is justified, they need to clarify!

thats a bummer. strange way to word the email if its only a "chance to win" I just reread the email and it does say Notification. Winners will be notified by electronic mail within twenty-four (24) hours prior to the shows. This electronic mail message is sometimes referred to herein as the "E-Mail Prize Notification". Winners will not receive any further confirmation from Sponsor that they have been selected as a Prize winner other than the E-Mail Prize Notification. If you do not receive an E-Mail Prize Notification, then you were not selected as a Prize winner. so perhaps notifications have not been sentyet? or am i really reaching at this point. LOL

Sway, was that the first email you received? You did not receive a follow up email that said: No tickets will be mailed out. You must print out THIS email and provide it for entrance to the event.??

It was sent by GDTS
