    Got it at 12:02AM. Subject
    Got it at 12:02AM. Subject says "Roseland Confirmation". Body of email is sparse. Venue instructions, time and location of show, and my name in bold print. Has a link at the bottom for Dead.net complete contest rules.BTW, I sent GDTSTOO a rather direct email about an hour ago telling them what I thought about the whole shebang.

    Confusion about "Guest" - Help Dead.net, need some clarity (^_^)
    I am a winner for Roseland and I did not see any place on my entry form to enter in the name of a guest. My winning email clearly states that "I have been selected to receive (2) tickets" but I do then also see on the email that it says, "The person accompanying them must be the same individual whose name is provided upon entering the ticket giveaway and this person must also provide a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to enter." And, my winning email has my name as BOTH the Winner and the Guest! Myself (Winner) and my guest are driving from very far tomorrow for the show, so we hope to get some clarity on this here in the next 12 hours before we hit the road! Boy this is confusing!!! I am praying that this is like how they did it when Phish played at the Filmore and you simply need to show up at the door with your guest (whoever it is) and if your name is on the list (as the winner) for 2 tickets it gets you both in. If someone from Dead.net gets this with any affirmation or clarity on this you can email me a response directly at antonio@dailypassion.com See you on the dance floor! (^_^)

    Further evidence that the latter part of the email related to the sweepstake entry on Friday from 6-9 is because this is what the entry form asked for, which is in the fine print of your email: Entrant's First Name Entrant's Last Name Entrant's Email address First Name of Entrant's Guest Last Name of Entrant's Guest

    This is the email I got. The top portion clearly does not sound like a sweepstakes entry. I took it that I had won. I figured the bottom portion of the email related to the initial entry into the sweepstakes from 6-9pm on Friday. When I get an email stating "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event", I take it to mean "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event".

    O.K. Here is the original e-mail I received from GDTS
    In the subject line: The Dead 3/30/09 Roseland Ballroom - you've been selected Hello, You have been selected for the GDTS TOO allotment of tickets for The Dead's performance at the Roseland Ballroom on Monday, March 30, 2009 at 11:00 PM. The intention of this small venue show is to provide an opportunity for fans to see The Dead in an intimate setting for free. Here's the deal.... You must respond to this email by Saturday, March 28 at high noon! Do not phone or email with any questions or you will be disqualified! This offer is non transferable, it is for you only! You and your guest must have a photo ID for entrance into the show. 2 tickets per person limit No tickets will be mailed out. You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event. Once at the venue all concertgoers will be required to provide photo identification along with a copy of the email voucher which will be checked against our record of your confirmation. Once confirmed you will be allowed entrance into the concert. To avoid long lines; you are strongly encouraged to arrive early. You must enter the venue upon arrival and there are no in/out privileges. Please return this email with an "accept" or "decline" in the subject box. Again, this email must be returned by Saturday at High Noon. I responded "accept" and that was the last I heard from them.

Dire Rain's observation and TL's answer are both more interesting and relevant than what I would come up with, which is that "fat chance" is ironic and the chance described is not fat at all because of this. If I think of anything more inspired I will report back. Hey, wisdom on Monday morning is a lot to ask!

O.K.-I Agree,In Honor of the Late-Great genius George Carlin we should let this pass. It is possible however, That the only reason those two phrases mean the same thing, Is that we have the most difficult language in the world to learn/understand.(so I've heard) I know this has absolutely NOTHING to do with the topic-but I was just bored,And for that I apologize.peace.

Wanting to meet new friends on Spring Tour... Have an extra ticket for Charlottesville, Worcester, Wilkes-Barre, Nassau and MSG. Looking for a kind Head or Heads to share the tour, not just someone to buy the tickets. I know it's a long shot, and I'll probably end up selling the tickets in the lot, but it would be great fun to find someone who could come for the ride, stay for the show, hang with me till the next show, and get up and do it all again!

Anyone gotten pre-sale tix yet? I've never waited so long to get tickets that I bought so early. And yes, I know the "two weeks before the show" disclaimer....having seen that kind of caveat attached to many, many tix bought online (that would then show up the following week), I've just stopped believing it. Is it really true this time?

I sent Music Today an email asking when I could expect my tickets. Unfortunately they replied with: "Our tickets ship approximately 2 weeks prior to the event. Once tickets ship you will receive an email confirmation of your shipment along with the tracking number for your order." This makes me nervous. And a little pissed off. They took my money the day I ordered but I have to wait more than 2 months to receive my tickets. Absolutely craptacular. And what about the folks that are going on tour? You know it's gonna get stranger, so let's get on with the show!

Yeah I don't like them taking my cash then holding out on sending the product. It's not good business. I worry what if something happens during the delivery, there won't be much time to fix any potential problems if they wait until the last second. It doesn't even make sense to wait that long. Meanlesam is right - what about the folks who will be on the road (like me)?? Oh yeah I'll just swing back to my house once a week to pick up more tickets. No problem. Sheeesh! While we are bitching, I wish they would have just scheduled those last 3 shows from the get-go. I was stupid and made flight/hotel arrangements before knowing about the add on shows, now I'm trying to change my flight, and add on more days to my hotel and it is so expensive to make changes its not even worth it. Probably can the flight (lose money) and drive now. It's a little frustrating. But I'm still going ... somehow!! "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me.

i would think the tickets need to be printed per order, i dont think they have the tickets on hand. GDTS might have the same deal or get an alotment of tickets to each venue. or if they are anything like the old mail orders then they have to be made then printed. i'm sure each order # is tagged to the requested ammount of tickets and are printed not long before they are sent out. when we used to go to ticketbastards they had to print the tickets, they did not just have them already on hand as far as i can remember. when you least expect it you'll get that e mail confirmation and everything will be just exactly perfect. im curious what the mail orders look like. are they like the old mail orders all decorated or are they just plain old tickets.

I noticed that they are a long ways away from selling out the second show so I don't know about adding on 2 more shows. It is weird to have a 4 day break. I was thinking about an added show some place between Shoreline and the Gorge. Cal Expo?? Oregon? Phatmoye - It is what it is. It's just money right? Although money is pretty tight these days.

No, the banner for the Grateful Dead is not a permanent one. They only break it out for a performance. As was stated earlier, the only music-related permanent banners are Billy Joel (12 show sold out stand) and Elton John (60 performances). To have a permanent banner (such as a retired jersey number) that forever hangs is the highest honor that the Garden bestows. But while the retired jerseys forever hang, it is not absolutely clear to me that the Billy Joel and Elton John Banners have that staus. I think they do, but I'm not sure. Currently they do hang for all Garden events, just as the retired jerseys do. I ordered one ticket from GDTS and got a pretty decent seat in row C of section 6 on the floor. Not the coveted sections 1,2,3,4, but good enough. I've seen many concerts at the Garden, but never on the floor. I'm looking foward to experiencing it, especially the sound quality, which I assume will be better on the floor than on the sides.

It would be great if they did add a couple of more shows between 5/10 & 5/14. I would have to pinch my budget real hard to come w/ the extra scratch for those nights though. Then again I originally only had the budget for two nights and now it looks like its gonna be five. Plus Clapton/Winwood in June. Smile, Smile, Smile!

Read this BS emailed to me by GDTSTOO mail order. I was at the post office at 6AM and watched them received my letters. I can't believe that all the cheap seats went that same day. I feel so angry that I either cough up more cash for seats I don't want to pay for that probably still suck, or stay home! ohhhh..... and I almost didn't read the email because subject line read "4-18-09 upgrade!"........ We have received your Worcester order for The Dead on April 18, 2009, but we have run out of the lower price tickets. We do, however, have enough of the higher price tickets to fill your order. If you would like this option then please go to our website and press the credit card form link found on The Dead Spring Tour 2009, fill the form out and fax the form back to us at 415-868-9094. If you do not have a MasterCard or Visa and would like to mail in with a postal money order for the additional money then please let us know that this is your preference and we will set your order aside. The difference of the two ticket prices is $31.25 per ticket. No extra fees will be charged. If we do not hear from you by March 1, 2009 we will send your money order back. Thank you.

the dead, the allmans and the doobies at the gorge is 58 bucks thru mail order, how is it that these 3 bands can be on 1 ticket at 58 dollars, yet the dead's spring tour is going for over 100 dollars a ticket and it's just 1 band?? does the gorge hold more then say, MSG?

I think it is very cool of them to offer an upgrade and to give you a few days to come up with the cash. What more can you ask for?? "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

So true. I've been listening to the Astral Weeks Live for a good chunk of the week and have a very deep desire to see this thing in person...but the guy at the record store (it's called the Record Exchange, so I can still use that term) told me about the ticket prices when I bought the cd.

Thought I had everything sewed up tightHow come you lay awake all night long? I also got the “upgrade” e-mail for the Worcester 4/18 show….and I’m very disappointed in GDST!! This is the first time in 11 years that they let me down. I don’t consider this an upgrade because if I wanted the $100 seats…I would think I would have chosen those seats. If I knew exactly where my seat would be…I might spend the $100…But NO WAY without an actual seat location. I wasn’t lucky in the pre-sale, and I didn’t even give the general sale a whirl because I saw the e-mail stating our orders would be filled…..I assumed that meant filled with what I ordered. Even bothered to do the artwork on the envelope and everything. After all the years and all the shows I just feel let down.

Opened the mail box and there smiling on the top of the pile was an envelope from Stinson Beach! GA lawn tickets and the returned postal money order for my request of reserved seats. So I'm in the door, not on the floor, up on the grass, but I saved some cash!!

Dont feel bad,guys-I just paid over 100 per ticket waaaaay up in the balcony pretty much behind the stage for 4/18 Worcester-I didnt have the extra dough to mail order or do pre-sale when tix went on sale, so I had to resort to scalper scum--But you know what? Im IN-and Im gonna dance my ass off and have a BLAST!!! Keep smilin' guys-It's only Rock-n-Roll!!!!

That's the spirit! I've blown a lot of cash for this tour yes it hurts a little but who the hell cares??!! A year from now when I think back on the shows I'm going to I certainly am not going to be remembering how much money I spent. "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

It is what it is….I just know that for me…the time has come to retire from mail-order. I think I was just spoiled all those years with the floor tix and all. It was a good ride while it lasted…but I think I found myself at a dead end. Its more the principal, not so much the money. In fact, when I get my money order back I plan to donate the funds to a charitable cause. For future shows it will be pre / general sales only, at least with those methods, I know right away if I scored or not. I’ve seen plenty of shows to feel more than satisfied…Of course there’s always room for a few more. :-) I don’t like to support the secondary market (just a rule I have)…unless they are selling below face. Still going to LOVE the Dead just the same….just might not get a chance to dance at as many shows. For those lucky enough to score tix to the Spring Tour shows…Congrats and please do shake those bones!!! Hopefully signs of a Summer Tour come soon!!
