Here's the place to commiserate and offer mutual encouragement.

Got the reject today
Hate this outcome, and so disappointed in the whole process this time around. Can anyone explain why some people got all three nights filled when so many of us were completely shut out? Makes no sense.
congrats email 1:50 a.m. 3/10
Batch #150 , WTF! better late than never! this fat old hippie will be dancing in the streets!
I'm out
Got my letter today. It was posted 3/6. So sad here in MI. I so wanted my husband and 16 year old son to attend this final show. They are both guitar players and love playing GD songs together. It would of been so special for them.
Plan B it is! I still think that if you haven't received your pinky you still have a shot. I have a feeling they'll get all of the returns back and then send out a few more happy emails (at least that's what I'd do if I was in charge)
Good luck to those still waiting! And to the lucky ones that received the golden ticket, congratulations and have so much fun for all of us!
Peace
MO's cashed, but still no email.
my MO's have been cashed, but still no email. i am feeling relaxed about it (it is out of my hands, no use stressing), but i hope they were not stolen. to those of you that got copies of your cashed MO's, does GDTSTOO use a special stamp or is there a certain signature that i should be looking for- i am thinking about getting some copies this week. thanks for all of your help! cheers! tickets or no tickets, i will see you in chicago.
Still here...
Hoping for that email chime in the night from GDTSTOO.
Good luck sleeping!
What a great email to wake up too! Good luck!
still waiting...
But I'm so excited!! The only thing I believe is sending out tickets right?? All the turn down letters went out so you try ticket master right? Fingers crossed;)

The copies I got of my cashed MOs shows that they were stamped by GDTS TOO
PAY TO THE ORDER OF
WEST AMERICA BANK, NA
FOR DEPOSIT ONLY
GDTS TOO, INC.
I too have not yet seen an email from them but am confident that it's simply due to shaky hands as I excitedly filled out the index card.
kick a guy when he's down
About a month ago I emailed the folks at gdststoo, then late last night I checked my phone and saw an email from them, I was holy crap here it is, I'm getting confirmation on tickets. To say I was stoked waiting for my email to load would be an understatement. Well I open it and it was, one of there old auto responses saying that there might be a few lingering confirmation emails going out but for the most part everyone has been notified, I'm like wtf! Talk about kicking someone when their down, c'mon guys!
Still in limbo
I'm still in limbo too, so
I'm still in limbo too, so strange! The only thing I'm thinking I did wrong was decorate my return envelope:(
still in limbo, too
I guess I'd rather be in limbo than no-ticket hell.
I've even been shut out of Dear Jerry Citi-bank and then the general presale. Hope my string of luck changes Friday in the general sale for Dear Jerry.
GD 50th Tickets #193 - 3:08pm 3/11 - Chicago
I finally got it!! Man it felt good to take a breath after all that time!
Best of luck to everyone still in limbo out there...hoping for the best possible news for everyone! They're still coming in slowly so don't give up hope!
As for the USPS MO's - the website will only provide a result other than the "no information found on that serial" (or whatever it says exactly) if you pay the $6.10 at the Post Office for that particular MO. If you call the validation phone #, it will tell you either it Matches or it Does Not Match. Supposedly, if it matches, it's not cashed, if it does not match, then it is cashed...but again, the only way to know for sure is if you pay the $6.10 Money Order Inquiry fee at the Post Office. 24 hours or so after you pay, you should be able to get a true status online or call in and listen the prompts to get to a live person, give them the Bill # on your receipt from paying the $6.10, and they can then look it up for you and tell you the status. Basically, without paying the $6.10, there's no way to know without a doubt, the status of your MOs.
Question for BrightBlue
hey now bright blue- i have a question for you. did you have western union or USPS money orders. i just got back from my post office to see if i could get copies of my cashed money orders and they pretty much told me to fuck off. thanks for all of your help!
Still no pinky in AZ
One more day I find myself alive
Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground
Shiny, happy people!
There are a lot of happy heads over on the facebook limbo page in the last 48 hours. Those of you in limbo, keep the faith!
death letter blues

spencergp68
too bad. at least you know. still in limbo here in DFW area, Tx.
Spence and Faith
Sorry to hear you got the dreaded letter. Having gotten mine on Monday I still feel so strange checking the mail. This process could take awhile...
Do trust thought that if it is meant to be it will.
White Pinky
Got all my money orders back today. So depressing. I was beginning to have fantasies that my mediocre artwork (that I slaved over till 2am on a work night) was going to be picked for the commemorative tickets because they picked some that showed more heart than great art...thought maybe the glitter that I modge podged on helped put me in...imagine my dismay when I hear of someone who had no art & postmarked the 21st got their request filled. Well at least I'm not the only one & at least I got in for the 3rd, which a lot of people got completely shut out so I know I should quit whining but Just Sayin....& Glad to have found this online community here! I'm not on facebook so this has been cool connecting with people that have the ears to hear , for those still waiting , I wish you peace
oh no....
After reading about Spencer and Faith yesterday, I started to get an uneasy feeling. And sure enough, I arrived home to discover that my SASE, that I had sent off on such a noble quest seemingly so long ago, had prematurely returned, complete with internal notice of failure. (In Charlotte, envelope dated March 9th)
I can rant and rave about the evils of all that obviously conspired to ensure that I will not be able to attend the celebrations this July (to which it truly seems that I belong to be at), but that seems like a lot of work. I do hope that my good friends at GDTS TOO, after much deliberations, have decided that their not-so-kind message to me would be the final negative message that they need to send, and from here on, all their communication to all of you is positive. (Someone has to receive the last "Dear John" letter.... maybe I can at least win that prize?)
AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!
shut out of Dear Jerry, too!
and now shut out of Santa Clara
oh wait, that hasn't happened yet, and it's just a rumor anyway
patience, my a**
I'm going to kill something (old National Lampoon cartoon with 2 buzzards)...your note made a couple of synapses connect I guess.
the highs and lows of this are getting to me. If I do make it to one of these shows, these bast***s better be good!!!
(this was just a joke before any of you out there get all huffy about their not owing us anything)
and now shut out of Santa Clara
Awesome...you and me both brother! GDTS again? oh I hope so...I like this build me up to let me down thing...totally good for the emotions!
@mkav and Kristine
No it is really funny.....a psychotic far side...
And on behalf of those going to the shows....yeah it better be fucking amazing....after refinancing my left testicle for this weekend....it better be as formidable as the book of Revelation!!!!!
Party on friends!

Kristine...that's not funny, that;s sick...wasn't that NL's by-line? it just hit me. Great reference.
Friday the 13th Indeed
Received my MO's in the mail today. Postmarked March 10th. At least I know now and will be able to process my disappointment some before my birthday Monday - better today than then.
I'm doing my best to keep it all in perspective. I've lived in Chicago since 1988, and was blessed with glitter tickets for both of last shows in 95 at Soldier field. A buddy and I had a little 23 foot sailboat named Sundance at the time that we moored during the summers at Burnham harbor (the harbor at Soldier Field), so we were able to sail during the day and sleep aboard after the shows. I remember there was another trailerable named Wharf Rat that was there for the shows that we partied with - it really was a magical weekend. I also was able to attend both shows at Alpine Valley when the Other Ones got together the first time after Jerry's passing. Alpine Valley has always been one of my favorite venues (second to Shoreline) and it was at those shows I decided if I ever had a daughter I would name her Cassidy. DSO also plays frequently in town (saw them February 6 at the Vic) as well, so, as I said, I really am trying to keep my disappointment in perspective as in my head I know it could be worse.
I will jump on my bicycle each morning of the shows and head down the lakefront to the parking lot looking for my miracle. Although I am becoming resigned to the fact I won't be inside (no scalper tix for me), I won't miss the opportunity to celebrate life with you all - my Grateful Dead family - one last time. It's not everything I had hoped for and imagined as I stood in line at the post office with others in the family, anxiously reviewing our envelopes, index cards and artwork as we waited for the next available teller, but as I type this I realize it's really not that bad of a consolation prize. The community has always been an important part of the experience for me.
With or without tickets, I hope to see you all in Chicago this summer - we can dance in the parking lot together...
