    need a miracle after a death in the family
    My husband, known to many as Schnieders, passed away 3/16/15 at 1:30am after a long stay in the hospital sick. It was our dream to be at this show together and now I just want to be there with him in spirit. Our family has already provided airfare and hotel for the event, and with the way that the ticket situation is, I would be honored to even get in for one night out of three, any of them, if that's all I can do. I will be in Chicago all weekend even if I can't get in. Please let me know if you have a ticket for any of the three nights, if you have two tickets together I would bring my dad to the show with me who introduced me to the Grateful Dead, and will be in Chicago with me, and spent many hours jamming with my husband to the music of the Dead, if you only have one ticket, that is okay too. Please email teatime2006@gmail.com if you can assist in any way and let me know what you need for the tickets, as I cannot afford the insanity on stubhub. Thank you for all your love over the years and the best family we have known. Lizzy (Whisper)

    Bonjour à tous! I was there on time, although there's more than an ocean between us, but like so many could'nt get any. But never mind, we're coming! Who knows: maybe I could win some kind of magic pass just because I come from France, just because I've been crying for 20 years, keeping Jerry alive every first week-end of august with some friends (so many nightfall of diamonds), just because there's so much I'd love to share with you guys, me a sixty old frenchie... but cosmic CHARLIE too!

    Still looking to trade Burning Man for GD50
    Burning Man is sold out. The Grateful Dead is sold out. Screw the scalpers! I have an extra Burning Man ticket. Do you have extra Grateful Dead tickets? I’m thinking a straight up trade. One $380 Burning Man ticket (good for all 7 days of the festival) for one each of the three Grateful Dead shows, July 3, 4 & 5 (of any level - $59 and up, just get me in the door for each of the shows). And depending on your tickets, I may even be able to throw in a Burning Man parking pass (worth its weight in gold this year). So, if you have the extra Grateful Dead tickets and you really want to go to Burning Man, I have an extra Burning Man ticket and I really want to go to all 3 of the Grateful Dead’s final shows…let’s talk. I know that at this point, neither of us will actually have tickets in hand, but I have purchased my tickets through Ticketfly, I have the confirmation numbers and I will receive tickets in June. Assuming you do as well, we can agree to the trade and then when we actually get the tickets, we can discuss the logistics of the trade. There are many, many burners who can and will vouch for me. I make this offer out of a genuine love for both Burning Man and The Grateful Dead and an overwhelming desire to avoid scalpers and profiteers. Love & Respect, ~ Stevolution

    Hotel Room(s) Trade For (2) 3-Days to Soldier Hyatt Or Hard Rock
    Hello there. So excited about these shows but unfortunately I didn't have any luck with TOO or Ticketbastard like so many others. I do have some extras hotel rooms to trade so figured I'd at least post up and see.... So basically I'm Looking to trade either two rooms at Chicago Hyatt Regency ($1750 min trade value) or one room at The Chicago Hard Rock Hotel($1400 min trade value) for 2 3 day passes to the Soldier Field shows no "No view" tickets please. Check in is July 3rd 3:00 pm and checkout is on the July 6th by noon.The rooms are standard 400sq.ft King bed rooms with great views. The Rooms will be paid for however you will have to put your own credit card down for incidentals once you check in as I will not be responsible for what you do in or to your room during your stay. I sincerely hope that all you true lovers of the Grateful Dead get in some way some how. Cause remember ...Nothing Lasts! email mikesdance@hotmail.com

    Hoping for some kind tickets
    Hey now, I was a late comer to the bus, didn't get on until 1980 and saw my first show in '81. Racked up lots and lots of shows and friends in the meantime. Didn't make the grade though for Mail Order or TM. Really don't want to feed the beast that is the secondary ticket market, so I am hoping that a kind soul that has extra tickets will shine on me. I am looking for as little as one ticket for one show anywhere in the venue, to as many as two 3 day passes. My wife & I would love to be at all 3, but I will be entirely grateful for a single night of dancing in the seats. If you have something available, please pm me or email to gratefldiver@gmail.com. I will pay, and wish I had something to trade, but am open to what you need to let your extras go. If you are in need of lodging, I have room in my home. Dance on kind friends, Jon

    Well here goes: one thing I've learned from the GD universe is that synchronization happens within it! Under the influence of time bending supports or not. So....I will put out possibly the impossible improbilbity and see what the GD universe zaps back...Kind compassionate being whom works for those in suffering, hopes that an auspicious event may occur where another kind compassionate being will donate their tickets or ticket to this humble writer to be able to have one last chance to enjoy the community and band that started it all for me...to become a kind compassionate being whom works for the benefit of others! It would be so greatly appreciated to be able to experience the love, community, and music one last time! It's just me, myself and I. So, if someone can't go-let me know! Def will reimburse or except a good old miracle!

I have a 3 day set of tickets that are behind the stage I would like to TRADE the July 4th ticket and 1 more ticket for either Friday or Sunday (your choice) for 1 July 4th ticket anywhere in front of the stage. I give you two tickets behind the stage and you give me 1 ticket in front of the stage. I know you may be able to wander around but I'm not taking the chance to be separated from my young son. I am only willing to TRADE. I have many friends who were shut out to pass my extras on to so I will not be selling them. You must be able to prove you are a Dead Head and not a scalper or broker.

unfortunately we all seem to be looking and not many are willing to give up except for the stub hubbers trying to make a killing on something that should have been a great last ride for all of us true heads, that being said i also have a room 2 miles away from the stadium and looking for two tickets willing to put people up, im sure this is a long shot at this point, but we did buy our tickets for the grateful ball after party which should be a great time, there are still tickets available for that event, and me and my bro will be making the most of our time in Chicago, and hope you all do to. peace and love,

I ain't always right but Ive never been wrong... good luck to all in limbo

Hey man! Sorry I misspelled your user name on the other thread. Yeah I am still popping in here checking it out and begging for tickets still. Planning on getting a haircut now (told myself I wasn't gonna cut it until after Chicago if I went). Weird, the ticketbasterd website now says "! no tickets right now" for each show and still says See Tickets for the 3 day pass. They are really screwing up by not saying "NO Tickets available" for the 3-day pass. Might mean there are more tickets that will be released at some point. Hard to trust anything that TM states, however...

I am waiting for the band to announce that they will put speakers and a screen outside the stadium for the parking lot - and sell tickets of course which currently on StubFuckers is ~$200 per night...so for the same price as a scalper ticket (cuz those will go up once a screen is announced) we can have the same view as those inside with no view...but we are in the parking lot!!! :) so does that mean that there is no frisking or confiscation of alcohol? NOW which tix are better??? No view? or parking lot?...

Hi All, Not sure if this is the correct forum...but I am looking for a hotel room (need to be able to switch rez into name, or add name) or apartment rental during the shows. I managed to get a tickets from Ticketmaster (shocking, I know!!!), but the rooms are pretty elusive. If anyone can't make it and needs to get rid of one please PM me. :) Cheers!

You just have to search. Trust me, there are more available rooms than there are extra tickets. I have a room but will only share it for a ticket or 2 or 3. The room will be free if someone will sell me face value tickets.

Prices will come down. Ticket brokers are propping the prices up. I found one that is dropping price daily until they sell. Hopefully they drop all the way to face value. Then I'll be a happy camper. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111611378270?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPag… Interesting article on how brokers raise prices...tactics. http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/6487534/grateful-dead-millio…

Hey guys, first post here. I was extremely lucky and got a single 3 day pass (behind the stage, but still). None of my other buddies got tickets however so I'm looking to trade my Friday for Sunday (preferably) or Saturday. My seat is sec 253, row 20, seat 3. I'm not looking for a better view, anywhere inside is fine. For those looking for a room, we have an extra room at the Wyndham Grand Riverfront, about 2 miles away. Our traveling party got much smaller after Ticketmaster so we no longer need this room. I would like to use it to sweeten a trade, but if that's not necessary I can transfer it to whoever needs it. I selected UPS ground for shipping method, so my tickets should be in hand soon. I live in Alabama and my choice would be to meet somewhere in the south to trade in person before getting to Chicago.

I haven't been able to see The Dead since 1986 and my husband has never been to a concert, let alone the whole Dead experience. We'd prefer handicapped seating (I have multiple sclerosis) but can do regular seating. We'd prefer Sunday but will do whatever we need to do in order to go on any day. Can't afford to pay much over face value, which seems to be the obstacle we're unable to overcome. Can't believe that the scalpers even bought out all the handicapped tickets in a matter of minutes. Thanks, Sue

Was shut out on both mail order and online. Looking for two tickets for the 3rd or 4th for the 50th and/or two for Dear Jerry. Willing to pay the standard fees above face value. Scalpers are such a drag. I refuse to pay them any money. Just called a CL guy who has 9 lawn tickets for Dear Jerry and wants $150ea. Question, how is it that he has 9 tickets when you can only buy 4. And he said "Oh, I think I only have 9 left". How many did he start out with? I had five computers loged in on ticketfly and my little guys only walked half the way before they sold out. Hate to miss either of these events. Hopefully there are still some Kind people out there. Back in the day I always sold my extras at face value. I even gave a ticket away in the parking lot at Buckeye Lake, either 93' or 94. Mircles do happen everyday! Needing one now. Peace, Enlightenment and Scouting

I'm a little puzzled about these Chicago shows. I've been following the Dead and going to shows since the 70s. I rarely wasn't able to find SOME reasonable way to get into a show, but like many, I mail-ordered and lost in Chicago. So what are the options now? Get scalped and pay $1200+ per show to get in ...or... hope for a miracle? This doesn't seem like the way the Dead would want to wrap things up, having so many loyal followers getting shut out. I know they're getting old and don't blame them if they wish or need to retire. It's just that we went from a fairly accessible and great-to-hear Further band to this very LAST CHANCE series of three Dead shows that sold-out in a heart beat. I can deal with missing them in Chicago if Further will be touring again. If not, then paying over a grand to get into to at least one of the Chicago shows is probably worth it. These ARE the last shows, right? No more Further even? How about Rat Dog? Did I read that Phil said he's done performing or touring after Chicago?

Greetings fellow deadheads, I had the wherewithal to book two rooms at the Hilton Magnificent mile on the North side of downtown but not to mail order; was to busy. Anyway the rooms are normally about 300 a night on a normal weekend. I am hoping to trade the room which is 2 double beds for 2 tix each night and am willing to negotiate. Good Luck to all brothers and sisters!

Klangstone (I want to call you my buddy despite never having met you) has moved to the front of the line for possible miracles a) by being cool and b) constantly making sure people know he needs a ticket...I gave up after the first week of my double shut down because, well I suck... So here I go (again)...I am desperately seeking one ticket to any night (or all nights) to Chicago. I have been granted a miracle to go see the Dear Jerry shows after being shut out there (story of my life) and was so close to getting a Sunday ticket for face, but only asked for one so the tix went to someone willing to buy all four...that said, I will happily take two, but really only need one (if there are two, the second goes to Klang) but suffice it to say - we are desperate and hoping our brothers and sisters can help us out in anyway shape or form. Peace

If I were to get a ticket, then I would be tempted to drive down with a high end espresso machine to replace the old grilled cheese with some real coffee...provided the Koolaid doesn't cloud my judgement...Some great roasters in Chi-town so likely some amazing coffee to be brewed for my fellow heads here! (I don't have much to offer) :?

for some reason, decent coffee seemed to be sadly absent from the scene back in the olden days (when the venue had it at all, it was pretty awful, and for some reason lot vendors didn't really go in for it. But they would've been mobbed, at least by me and my friends...) As it was, we consumed a whole lot of chocolate-covered coffee beans at shows.

I fear there is little hope as the available tickets seem to be in the hands of those who do not understand what the whole scene is all about. Nevertheless, I would love to throw myself into the queue of those who have been shut out and would like to be otherwise. Looking for one to any or all Chicago and one for Merriweather. I will even provide transportation if you don't mind sitting on the back of a Harley (tongue in cheek, but have at it if you want to squeeze onto a little tiny seat pad). To those who are in, hope you have a Grate time. Dan
