    Tkt Prices
    Perspective People... Check this out.. 1. Madonna- $306 2. Eagles - $234 3. Billy Joel - $224 4. Bon Jovi - $217 5. AC/DC - $210 6. Hannah Montana - $209 7. Celine Dion - $198 8. Neil Diamond - $193 9. Bruce Springsteen - $191 10. Michael Buble - $189 Above are the top 10 average ticket prices for 2008......... MY QUESTION IS, HOW ARE THE EVENTS SELLING...ARE THE VENUES 3/4 FULL, SOLD OUT, ETC, WHAT's THE DEAL? AND FYI....THESE ARE FACE VALUE AMOUNTS.....GO TO STUBHUB.COM AND LOOK AT THE PRICES THE DEAD SHOWS ARE ALREADY GOING FOR.....CRAZY! AND FINALLY....http://musictoday.com/ is OWNED BY LIVE NATION WHOSE STOCK IS OFF OVER 70% ON THE YEAR.....TKT SALES CAN'T BE THAT GREAT!

    Frustrated & Excited
    I'm really excited about the tour. I was able to get tickets for Nassau, but I couldn't get tickets for Madison Square Garden. The worst part is all the tickets that are already available on ebay, golden ticket, and stubhub. How were these scalpers able to get these tickets through pre-sale? What BS. I sent a money order to GDTS, so I hope that comes through. I will probably stand in line to get the tickets at the box office. How early should I show up? The ticket prices are what they are. They were $50 in 1990, and there has definitely been inflation. In some ways, I don't mind since I like the Dead at smaller venues. Really loved Phil Lesh and Friends. Plus, I've spent money on stupider things. Just don't want to pay a scalper $250 for nose-bleed seats. After reading Phil's book, I realize that the money does support a whole bunch of people, that I really don't mind chipping in to support.

    Bummed out
    As a momma of a young family who is struggling, I was completely bummed yesterday to find out my only option was paying $100 for a ticket to go back to one of our fav venues - Albany, NY... it'll always be "The Knick" to me. I was really shocked to see ticket prices. Of course I think seeing The Dead is worth $100, but what is going on??? I expect this from Eric Clapton or The Eagles or something..... When everyone in America seems to be having money troubles, why are tickets priced so high? I know I can't be the only one in this boat. Now my husband and I have to flip for who goes.....just doesn't seem right.

    Teamearth: "Borin' Warren" - that's a funny one. Look man it's kinda mean though. So you feel "a little kicked in the teeth after the fact"? Like you didn't know borin' Warren was on the bill before you decided to buy tickets? Look, I'm hoping they get real hot and tight by the middle of the tour. The New Year's show was great but the playas had been playing together a lot leading up to the gig. I see what you're saying about getting crappy seats though. That probably should happen in a fan pre-sale. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * -enjoyin' the ride -There'll never be another Jerry

    I haven't had time to read all the posts, I know I'm not alone in my situation. I got into the tix site at 9:05am. By the time I hit the "process order" button, it was 9:23am. Instead of getting my receipt and tix, I got a screen that said my ticket order had timed out, empty cart, start over. Anger, plenty. Disappointment. You bet. Confusion. Yes. The Dead have been doing ticket sales for a long, long time. How could this have gone so poorly? I have no problem with ticket prices. I do have a problem with ineptitude. Peace

The band says Happy New Year with an announcement of almost twenty shows in April and May.  More details to come!

I'm thrilled and excited about the Gorge Concert, but had so hoped that there would be at least a two nights of music... Most folks travel from afar, set up tents, enjoy the campgorund vibe, go a day or two without a shower, share their food, beer and tokes with fellow concert attendees... so a two or three day event would have me there in a heartbeat!! It's a long way to go for a one night stand...

Lets hope that theses bands can clear their schedule and join us on the bus. Now that would be a show to see, we all have our fav. bands to see with the boys but the Allmans and Doobies (of all kinds) would be historic.

In case anyone noticed or cared-I have not been online in like a month, I have internet through the wii system and all of a sudden it stopped working! We could'nt figure out why-Then it turns out we needed a router to get a wireless connection(apparently we were getting internet through someone elses signal)OOPS! told you I was a rookie! Anyway-For what it's worth,I missed talking to all my fellow DEADHEADS! I bought a router and now have my very own internet connection!! Look forward to hearing from you guys-GARCIALATER-G ♪♪"Arrows of neon flashing like keys out on main street"♪♪

Mail Order Tickets received today for MSG. Good Karma, as I was on top of pre-sale and ticketmaster sale and was shut down both times. I'll be there from Florida making 5 decades of seeing the boys live. Wish all good Karma.

Got my Spectrum tickets. Now I just have to wait and see if I lucked out with the "cheap" MSG tickets. The Deadheads gather at the rim of the volcano to dance and sing joyful songs in honor of their fallen hero.

I can't wait for the Gorge show..That is my favorite venue and I have talked to some friends around the country that are thinking of coming out here to go to the show..The set up is amazing and it allows camping so you don't have to drive after the show..I may be selling my Shoreline tickets now since I won't need to pay for air fare and 3 nights hotel

I've heard of this infamous venue. I would love to go, if I can get the time off of my two jobs, golf pro/restaurant, but as in the past....do I really care? NO, so talk me into it. How good is this going to be? Are "the boyz" really worth it (you know I'm smiling ear-to-shining-ear) to go to this show???????????____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

Robbie - Go to your Inbox. Then to write a PM, on the top of the page you click the "compose" button. You need to know the person's dead.net username to send a PM. Either that or click on a person's username in a post and it will bring you to the PM page with their username already populated in the "To" field. To respond to a PM just click on the message, then hit the "Reply" button, then it's just like email. Write your PM then hit the "Send private message" button. Hope that helps.

for four tickets at the Gorge. YAHOO! And a friend who posts here at times got 3. So we now have a group of 7 from the Spokane area and beyond who will hang together. Also at least 3 others have told me they are getting tickets ASAP. So 10 +; we are all getting lawn tickets so we can hang together.

So, as tempted as I was to go for the reserved seating for this show, especially after seeing Bill Kreutzmann the other night so close, I opted for the lawn. (first time back on lawn since 92 Deer Creek) I just had too many other friends that are going to meet out here, that I wanted to be with family for this show. Either way, I am stoked. Haven't felt this good about seeing the band back together in years, more so than even the Alpine 2002 shows.I also feel a sense of togetherness with the band this time around that they have worked out their own differences that the music should gel together much more easily. I'm thinking these shows could be the best performances in 20 years. If you can make this one, especially if you've never been out there, you should make it if you can. See you there.

I tried to fax this morning using a free faxzero this morning at 9am pacific time and since it's a service I didn't know if it went through and had to go to work. So I get home from my split shift and bammo, they denied it after 5 times that it was busy. BUMMER!!!! Don't you hate the fact that they took off the fax program in Windows? They had this very easy to use program in every windows prior to Vista! So I'm in total high hopes and crossed fingers that I when I had my mom send it from work about 10 mins ago it will get to my brother's and sisters at GDTSTOO! I know it faxed, but I'm just hoping there are tickets left for the may 4th show at Chicago. I might be able to whip up some more cash later and order Shoreline tix, if they are not sold out by tommorow. I so hope that it wasn't too late!!!!!! I am such a fan of this band that's it's not funny. CROSSING FINGERS! Please lord! ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

Just got home and was able to talk the wife into letting me go to the added Chi town show. I know this isn't a big deal but it's the first time I've ever gone to more than one night. Awesome! Just goes to show - all good things come some time.

does anybody know the status of spring tour mailorder? has anyone received their tickets? does anyone else think the whole thing was run a tad poorly and the lack of communication is hindering your making proper plans? any info or thoughts would be quite helpful. thanks and have a great day.

still waiting for any word on mine as well for MSG. Pretty ridiculous how long it has taken...missed all other opp's to get tickets because had faith in going old school. The lack of info coming from GTSTOO has been disappointing at best. Still holding out that they'll come in soon and i'll get to see the boys at MSG. Would love to hear if anyone has ANY info as to the mailorder tickets.
