    Or maybe some of us are a little nostalgic, and doing this the way we used to do it. :)

    countdown
    my guess there is a countdown box in the upper right hand corner of the home page " Countdown to Ticket Pre-sale" Right now it reads 23 hour 30min for me. So about 10 min before 10 am local time (9:45-9:50), they will post the instructions on how to purchase at 10am local time. Most likely a password to a ticketmaster or livenation portal which will probably open as a separate webpage. I'm anxious too but this is typical for a big presale of this nature. Trying my best to be patient.

    I think there are more than
    I think there are more than 1 option and the mail order is one of them..I also believe you can buy tickets onlone tommorrow as another option.. According to the above thread this site will have the info but they need to hold off on getting the password out to far in advance... As sson as the password is anounced it will hit the internet in no time so in a sense it is in our best interest to be patient so that we are rewarded with tickets as opposed to all the others out there that will be purchasing tickets to sell for an inflated proffit.. The only two thing I am lost on is What time do tickets go on sale ???? Will this site direct to purchasing tickets ot do we have to open another window since it will be sperate from this site and if that is the case which agency is selling the tickets ???

    Presale is here 1/13
    For those of you just logging on to see what the heck is going on.... The presale will be right here on dead.net tomorrow. gdtstoo.com is for all of ya that don't have credit cards but is a trusted source if you want to mail order $$. Seems like a gamble for the kind of seat you want though, unless someone can post what seats they will be providing. Instructions for online presale will be posted by dead.net tomorrow morning so be patient. Personally I'll have quick fingers and credit card ready tomorrow morning at 10am local time. After shelling out $100+ to see Bob Dylan, 'Stones, Metallica and about 20 other artists in the 100-400 price range......75-100 is really cheap nowadays for this caliber of show. There won't be empty seats as at this price point, it'll be a quick sellout....

    Predictions
    My predictions: - Despite the claims of half-full arenas, these shows will sell quite well - if they aren't complete sellouts. Tickets won't be hard to come by though. Don't waste your money on scalpers. It's not like the old days when tickets could be impossible to find. If you need tickets, you'll be able to find them. - The crowd will be mostly folks in their 20s-early 30s who mostly never saw the Dead with Jerry. They don't have as many hangups or opinions about The Dead not being as good as when Jerry was in the band. They also never knew a time when tickets were relatively cheap. Big shows have always been expensive to them, so they won't really balk at the price. This is their chance to see The Dead and they're going to jump at it. - Those who attend will have a great time. And that's what it's really all about. As for me personally - I'm most likely going to skip it. I fall into none of the above categories. I was planning on hitting 4-5 shows, but the price is now keeping me away. I'll probably breakdown eventually and go to the DC show, since it's minutes from my house. But I'll probably just buy a cheap seat, sit behind the stage, close my eyes and soak it in a bit. And on a side note - I just have to laugh a little about everyone complaining about mail order and questioning GDTSTOO. If I didn't already feel a bit old - that certainly did it. ;-)

I was unable to get my order filled for the MSG show and I received my returned mail order yesterday (2/17/09). My suspicion is that the filled orders will get mailed shortly. While I believe my orders will be filled for the other shows I am hoping to attend, it would be nice to have my tickets and know for sure.

There is a link on GDTSTOO to sign up for information updates: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/GDTSTOO/Following is a portion of an update that I received on 2/13 and was also previously posted in this thread: We are processing the last of the Philadelphia orders this week & next as well as MSG. The first Shoreline is the next out of the door. The remaining shows will be processed in 3-6 weeks. Credit cards will also be processed this week & next. Please try to hold your phone calls and emails as we are busy bees filling ticket orders. I will admit that mail order is slow. However, back in what my step-kids / grandkids refer to as "The Day" we had the east coast and west coast hot lines - this was before the incredible age of the internet when some of us were still ( and still are ) listening to vinyl. The folks at GDTSTOO are good people that have always worked hard to take care of us and deserve credit for all they do. After all there are far more fans wanting tix than there are peeps in their office. Try and take a deep breath and ...... smile, smile. smile there will after all be music to fill the air!

You want it, you got it, but you got to pay for it. It's good, but it's gottern very commercial. GDradio.com was pretty much all dead with the rest of the boy's music thrown in there with some interviews and stuff. There were a few commercial messages, but pretty low key. You could see what show was playing. I just checked it out after a long hiatus and see that deadnetcentral.com and icenine seemed to have laid down the law to those folks. Even on this site Lemieux got slammed for putting a whole show in pieces in the taper's section (5/5/78) and nobody is allowed to download (easily) taper's section anymore. Message to Bobby, Phil, Billy, Mickey & Hunter: How much money is enough? I understand how it is feeling that everybody trying to feed off a piece of you but lines that keep getting drawn in the sand wash into the sea, evetually... Have a good tour everybody!!! I'm outta here :-)(-:

I know it's hard to wait for mail order in the day of instant online ticket sales, and I know I'd be bummed to get my moneyorder back instead of a pair of tickets, but I was lucky enough to get two sweet seats in the mail yesterday and I hope the same goes for many of you! My buddy got our Spectrum tickets last week, so I presume that most people will be getting theirs in the next day or two (we're in PA and NJ). We're still waiting to hear on the other four MSG tickets for our group, so we're not exhaling just yet! It's gonna be a sweet run ;) As for the Dead radio, check out Jerryradio.com for a rotating selection of full shows. The Sirius/XM GD station is pretty siiiiick though... Good Times

May you have happy twirling at the MSG!! As for the Radio, why can't you just download a few FLAC files and be content? You can even make "personal" playlists too....it's amazing what you can do with even Itunes now! I remember sticking my cassettes (and I'm sure other heads would have said, pstttt 8 tracks) into the cassette player, only to hear kick arse music. I think letting someone else control your tunes is bs....not to mention it's not even the "whole" show/experience! Just putting my 1 and a 1/2 sense in! ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

I have it and love it. Listen all the time, nothing wrong with a little suprise of whats going to play next, it is the grateful dead channel, kinda hard to go wrong there.They play some good concerts, some you cant get on the net. You get interviews on sat. morning, tales from the golden road with david gans on sunday, you get today in grateful dead history everyday with David Lemieux, you can call in and host your own setlist, theres guest dj's (Jackie Greene was a recent one) They did a day where they celebrated Dark Star and played various versions of the song from the deads entire career, They celebrated jerry's birthday, Now their doing a thing on welnick and hornsby. Nothing wrong with the dead channel at all if a person chooses to pay for it, i havent listened to the regular radio in years. Plus your not just getting the dead channel your gettting a variety of stuff.

Robbie and Cassidy: FLAC files (free lossless audio codecs) are available from many sights. Don't need to speak geek, key word here is free. Its just a good way to compress large audio files (entire shows) to make them easy to download. This is in keeping with the bands policy of taping and trading over the years. Its quite simple to do and if you are interested I can hook you up with everything you need, all free. I have nothing against Sirius per say as they are offering you other stations for your $12.00 a month or whatever it is. If they were only giving you live Dead and charging for it, I would be one of the first to get up in thier face. Keep the music free!

TicketMaster posted (in the last day or so) new tickets for sale for the Pepsi Center in Denver. It looks like the "Club Level" seats in the 200's section are now available for purchase. These are great seats and are between the lower level and the upper level. Just picked up 3!

I think I have a pretty good idea what they have up their sleeves, but I hate to spoil a surprise, especially one with such good artwork. Clues and metaphors abound. If I'm right, we're likely to see That Old Debate arise again (seems like the last incarnation had just finally quieted down) and I was wondering if they were going to do anything with what was my first show. I wonder what else might be in the mix? Perhaps some tasty morsels from someplace Far Above Cayuga's Waters? Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Does anyone know the deal with camping for the gorge show out there? Do you have to purchase a seperate ticket ahead of time, or just show up there and camp. My previous experience was buying a seperate camping ticket. I didn't see anywhere on the ticket sites any info on this. Anyone have info on this?

You don't have to buy camping ticket ahead of time. Buy camping supplies before you get too close. It is at least $40 and a hardly any facilities other than porta-pottys, but there are acres and acres of desert. Welcome to the other side of Washington.They haven't planted any trees, summer can be hot and windy with no shade but the venue is sweet.

take a crack at that one too RobbienCassidy? Think it might be fun to try to logic that out. The word chance=something like luck and/or opportunity, if I understand it correctly. SOOO that could mean that the wider (fat) your range of opportunitly/luck is, is not as likely you will be lucky for one particular thing, when are more variables involved. And also goes for a smaller range (slim) chance-cuz would mean have less chances to be lucky as well. Am indeed in suspense what wise Marye would say, cuz may well be total crap what I just said. ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

Gorge is hot in the Summer... May 16 should get very cool at night, bring sunscreen as no shade, but hey, we'll be at the amphitheater all afternoon, so bring sunscreen for the show!! Also recommend a polar fleece, sweater, or blanket, something for night. Even a rain pancho might be good to have. Even with all those bodies, all that dancin', and any mind altering stimuli, it might get chilly!!
