Grateful Dead

Howdy ya all... I have room for 3rd and 4th in the beautiful Hyatt Regency on East Wacker Drive, not far from concert. We missed out on mail and TM and i can't pay the prices for what everybody is asking. Very sad how this type of greed has gotten way out of hand !!! SO PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YA NEED AWESOME ROOM...PRICE PAID FOR ROOMS WERE $278.18 PER NIGHT FOR TOTAL OF #556.36.. HAVE CONFIRMATION # IN HAND.... THX... pLEASE GO THROUGH PERSONEL MESSAGE!!!!!!

Good comment. True that there will be a lot there that bought their way in, but I would hope the band in the coming months is able to do things to reduce the demand for these shows. Simulcast it, offer public forum simulcast locations in cities around the country. Maybe that brings ticket prices down a bit and folks who really aren't motivated to get to Chicago stop looking.. but on the other hand, maybe that also continues this massive hype that is going on and it only gets worse. really can't say what will happen at this point. I don't know of a bigger band that announced a 3-night run to close out their 50-year career on the 20th year anniversary of the last show they played in the same location. Think about that a moment. I'm sure they all kicked around ideas and this seemed like a great idea at the time, but its unprecedented and they have created the mother-of-all-concerts with a bottleneck for tickets like never seen before.

Throwing all options out into the universe that I can. This July would be my 25th anniversary of the first time I saw Jerry and had my heart set on seeing the band at least one night. Hoping someone can help a sister out. "Love Light"

Looking for up to 3 for Sat or Sunday night. I know its a long-shot but maybe the universe will be kind. Really hoping to take both my sons (16 and 20) for their first real Dead show. Will pay of course, anything they cost you plus free GD CDs, copies of shows, etc. Blessings to all seekers and to those who have already found!

I Had never used ticket master before, was online at 10am in the queue. Waiting for the timer to tick down for my turn to confirm what it had found. By the time i realize my session was bugged the concert was sold out. I was supposed to get 4 ticket me an my wife an our 2 friends. If any kind sole was able to secure extra an would be willing to part I can pay via pay pal or bitcoins or money order just let me know !! Thanks in advance !!

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 have nothing to add that the others haven't said. I would like to go but there is a lot of greed it seems out there. Please email me gregehle@aol.com lots of kind trades!

Looking for 4 tix for July 5th (Sunday ) @ face value. Must be field or lower level full view. And i'll pay for 1 rt. Airfare ticket from wherever you are ( in the continental U.S. )too chicago and back. For 1 person

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.

Hey now!When I heard about the show I was very excited. I saved money and set up an account on Ticketmaster. I thought I would treat myself and buy one 3day ticket, and I would still have just enough to buy the round trip train ticket to Chicago. I figured if this was the one big thing I did for myself this year, it would be worth it. I walked across town in the snow to get to a wifi hotspot early on the onsale day. I had my phone and laptop going and still never got anywhere with the process. Like so many others on here, I got stuck in the loop of Ticketmaster throwing me out of the system, with a 45 minute queue message. By the time the system finally let me in, everything was sold out of course. At this point, I would be happy to make it to just one show. I dont care which date, I would just like to go to one more show. It would be like a family reunion! I have not experienced the kindness and amazing spiritual experience that dancing at a show brings in almost ten years (NYE with Phil Lesh and Friends in SF). I miss the familial experience of tour, and while I in no way expect it to be exactly the same as it was 25 and 30 years ago, I still really want to be a part of this one last show experience. I was able to save enough to pay face value for a ticket, but the dollars that stubhub is asking for is ridiculously high! I am also willing to throw in some artwork as a partial trade if it would make the deal sweeter? Maybe check out my art and send me a message? www(dot)abstractperspectives(dot)weebly(dot)com Thank you very much in advance! Charles Firecat Burnell

Tickets still available? I'm sure you've gotten 1000 responses already. My deal is that I haven't yet received a pinky or a congrats email, still holding out small (diminishing) hope that tickets will be forthcoming. I did have some friends who live in Montana that got tickets via MO. Haven't seen them in many moons and would love to see them again. If tickets still up, I'd buy them regardless of my MO outcome. Would like to see if I could get them early and then trade for other nights. Regardless, thanks for the kind offer. So little of that these days, still nice to see some left.

My partner and I have one ticket for the 4th. Looking for one more. We are driving out from California in one of our buses, he has a ’71 and I have a ’66. Not sure which one we’re taking (depends if we get mine running)but seems right to do the pilgrimage with a nice drive through Colorado, only one of us gets in though so we thought we’d ask for just one ticket … we can prove we are Deadheads. Email us at gmail to lytweaver if there is one… BTW there is a campground about an hour Northwest of Chicago that we found 20 min from Crystal Lake train station. I am sure there are more to be found at this end of the Metra Union Northwest Pacific line. This train runs from McHenry County down to Ogalvie Transit train station not far from Soldiers Field. Last train I believe is 12:30 a.m. We just aren't staying in the city and thought I'd mention this for anyone looking for options ... Thank you

Please help a fellow deadhead with 1 ticket to 1 show at face value. Just looking for fair deal, I have a hotel room willing to share to whomever has a ticket they can sell me. Thanks and rock on!

I am 55 years old seen hundreds of shows including Europe 90. Can't imagine missing this one after 37 years of chasing them, starting with 11/08/79 Capital Center. Please help me out, I only need one. I have a good motel room for 4 and will share with you and pay for ticket and feed you if necessary, Just want to go, I will even get you your own room if necessary.I can also supply transportation to and from airport, motel or whatever, I will be driving from Virginia and can supply a ride all the way there. lostsailor79@gmail.com

So, what's it come to? I'm a long time Head, first show in '82, "on the bus" since '85. Never got shut out of New Year's shows, even. (Went to every one I tried to go to.) But this ticket sale was just crazy. . I have this one dear friend I haven't seen in years, we were going to meet in Chicago for these shows. But now that's not going to happen, unless.... Does anyone know of a "Workingman's Dead" or a "Sugar Magnolia (for 2)" travel package available, without scalping? I'm happy to pay 10% above face value, which seems reasonable "parking lot markup." But not more than that, or that would be scalping. . Peace.

Everyone who has been to a show, knows that Mean People Suck...To your ticket wish, I have to say at the risk of being a jerk...you and everyone else brother...a couple of us have been pleading for tix since the day we got shut out of TM...there is a dude offering up a week pass to Burning Man for tix...THAT is a deal and if I had extras, he would be the guy (after I took care of Klangstone who has been diligent here like me) Peace and good luck

Klangstone again? ..... it's like PTSD....I'm really scared of clowns! Hope you two get hooked up and we can party til the morning comes! Ohhhhhhhhyeahhhhayyyyayyyyyyyyaahhhhhhhhh.......

as TT the troll put it...the dude seems pretty cool...happy to stick up for him. You know that he and I have been stymied from day one and sharing our bitter sadness with all here! (It gets old I am thinking!) And yeah - that clown is SUPER creepy...

SSIA

That too man! We gotta stick together...though I am an informally retired stoner

Bill Clinton didn't inhale either..... Still hope you and Clownstoner can make it to the party......

I am respectable now! (sort of) I really am a professor of engineering at highly respected university in Canada! (really). Albeit a geological engineer - so the hippies of the tight asses...but still a professor none the less...that shit freaks me out to be honest...as for the party, we're working on it! May have to settle for MD but even then may still get shut out! (I have not been Charlie Sheen lately)

Just yanking your chain.... Glad you are happy with what you have to be happy with....to steal a line from latter day King Crimson, another fave of mine btw.....I really hope you guys get your miracle.....you deserve it, maybe not Clownstoner....but you do....Kidding!!!!! Clownstoner too..

Hello Friends,I have 1 3 day, VIP (Steal your Face experience) floor pass to the 50th, and I'm looking to somehow turn this ticket into two so I can attend the weekend with my friend that's attended almost every show I've ever gone to with (who was shutout). If anyone has two tickets they'd be interested in trading for my VIP ticket please let me know! It pains me to see so many beautiful people that want to be a part of this show shutout, so let's keep the positive vibes flowing so all those that want tickets make it in. EG

Looking to trade 1 ticket with a great view for Friday for 1 ticket with a similar view for Sunday July 5th.

I just spent the last unproductive hour looking for at least a discussion about the unverified rumor about another GD 50 show at Levis Stadium in Santa Clara. Does anyone know where on this site I can fuel my curiosity about this rumor? Any of you Deadheads looking for another Dead50 Fare thee Well run? It was the 1st thing talked about on the Golden Road yesterday. Please somebody tell me where to go for current discussions about the Dead. Gratefully Yours, Tony

Here's a couple of links: http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2015/03/13/the-grateful-dead-reportedl… http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/6502151/source-grateful-dead…

Hi, If you have any tickets, I have a room and flight, but no tickets, missed getting them. I would be very grateful to purchase some from you or anyone you may know who has some. Need 2 for each night if possible, but anything will do. Thanks, Kevin

Shut out on mail order, packages and TM. Would like 4 tickets for any or all 3 shows. We have a room. Would hate to miss out.

I have flights and a studio condo booked for my husband, mom, and stepdad, but no miracle yet with mail order and Ticketmaster. Am looking for either 4 tickets to one show or 2 tickets to any night. Please and thank you so much. NFA, Ashleigh

tried mail order, ticketmaster....nothing. We are freaking sad about this. Deadhead needs a miracle - so if you have even one ticket you would like to sell, we will buy it! Already in rural Illinois - don't have to travel far to Chicago 2015!

I am sooo bummed, like many got shut out of mail order and ticmaster. Have flight and hotel but no tics. If anyone could see their way to a miracle for me, I will pay almost anything (except for the outrageous rip offs on stub hub!) for 1 or 2 tics for ANY night. Please be kind and help me out - I'm as old as the band and afraid don't have too many more shows left in me!! LOL. Feel free to call me (772) 800-7879. Thanks and will see you all there anyway, even if I have to listen from shakedown in the lot!! Peace, Cindy

I will pick you up up and transport you to Chicago, And supply you with a motel room in exchange for 1 3-day ticket. If you live anywhere east of the Mississippi or within 500 miles of Chicago, I'm your man. After chasing these guys for 36 years, I can't imagine missing this one. lostsailor79@gmail.com

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)

I was able to score a sweet camp spot at Indiana Dunes State Park for the shows, that was the easy part! Scoring actual tix for the shows, well, not so easy... I'm looking to hook up with some kind folk who've got an extra tix (or three!), and need a crash spot for the weekend that's not gonna crash the wallet. Here's the clincher: Indiana Dunes has a metro stop at the park. The train gets you to/from Soldier with no driving / cars / parking / headaches! Driving that train, indeed!! If someone comes thru with tix, I'll pay, of course. Not looking for a miracle here. I'll also be covering the cost of the camp spot, so your lodging would be gratis. Interested, hit me up at soswald123@yahoo.com StSteveO

I am looking to trade a "No View" 3 day pass for lodging for 4 nights...the 2nd thru the 5th for up to 5 people. I am not looking for a shared room as we are already a large group. Prefer somewhere close to the venue. Hotel, Condo or apartment. If you are lodging rich and ticket poor? Lets chat. Send me a PM.

Hi, I sent you a PM on this site. Thanks

My post office isn't giving me my refund claiming GDTS cashed some MOs and then returned the paper to to ticket mailer. I've been to our main PO 3x!!!This seems far-fetched,but who knows? Anyone else having trouble getting refunds?

I have two close to the stage tickets for the Rolling Stones on May 30th and July 4th. Would be interested in a trade involving these tickets and 2 tickets to either the July 3 or 5 Dead show. Willing to be creative.

My wife and I are traveling from Canada and find ourselves with two extra tickets on Saturday and no tickets for Sunday. Saturday seats are in Section 210. Looking to either trade for Sunday tickets or sell and purchase Sunday tickets separately. Since we are coming from Canada we will be picking up our tickets at will-call and would have to hand off tickets there at the venue. Feel free to PM me at s_p_mooney@hotmail.com if interested.
