Buffalo Bill's defunct
Geeesh, I'm starting to feel guilty I scored a 3 day ticket. Not. Well, I hope y'all find tickets in June when the hard tickets are mailed. It's no use thinking too much about until then. It's all about the music!

...that people keep referring to here, please share
Email Arrived
After giving up all hope. On 3-12 at 2:49 AM I received my email stating that my order will be filled. I sent in for $95 reserved seating for all 3 nights. Good luck to all still in limbo!! There is hope :)
I'm not sure
That I'm up for another Warren Hayne's Grateful Dead jam. Just my opinion. Best to get the warm ups in before Chicago. That's where the party's gonna be.
fantasy guests
As long as Joan Baez doesn't come out for Morning Dew. In all likelihood Donna will be around though, despite what Hitler thinks.
Pink Talking Fish are Dead
Early bird tickets are now on sale for the July 4th after party. A link about the show is on jambase.com.
I haven't seen Pink Talking Fish yet, but I've heard they're a lot of fun. I bought tickets.
Congrats Ole MN
Awesome!!! Congrats!! Did your email have a batch #? I heard as high as 410 on GD50 Limbo.
More emails
I guess batch numbers aren't going out in order. Someone just posted 12 mins ago they got an emamil with batch #162.
Still hope!
rejected mail order
The money orders came in today. I was starting to get my hopes up. No such luck. I did score tickets for my son and myself on the 4th, so no complaining here.Watched Sunshine Daydream last night. What a treat! I saw the Dead about 5 weeks later for the first time (it hooked me at 15) at Vanderbilt University in Nashville on a beautiful October day. It was a free show and outdoors.
Maybe?
If the rumors are true and a couple of nights are added in CA, they absolutely should do some sort of presale or something for all of us who were shut out from Chicago. Don't know if I could take another round of rejections at this point though and based on how "lucky" I got this go-around, not sure I wouldn't be shut out again! Ha!
Doing a couple of shows out West is an excellent idea -- but here's my .02 -- how about 2 shows somewhere on the East Coast, too. I guess that turns this into a mini-tour, but what a much better way to go out -- trying to include as many of the faithful as possible.
Congrats to all those still getting Emails...amazing!
I'm dusting off hope again.
pink talking fish are dead are burnin' down the house!
..badly formed link... sorry about 'that.
Google it! I'm outta breath just watching that girl in the socks.
Talk of Santa Clara
Nothing confirmed here, but I think this story might just have legs:

Santa Clara
oooooooooo I so hope that Kimock is playing with them then!!! So I can get shutout from seeing him too! As someone put it, when Kimock sits down, watch out! He is trying to prevent complete liftoff into the stratosphere.
I so cannot wait to get shutout from this show too!
santa clara
Already booked hotel room 10 minutes walk to levis stadium just in case.
Extended Stay America.
No prob, Totem
I'm excited for PTF. What's not to like about Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, and Phish? Throw in the dead as well for this one. Assuming I get into the shows, I don't think I'd want to see a dead cover band after the show. Dead overload considering I'll be... altered.
That being said, a lot of people of GD50 Limbo are buying tickets to Friday nights Mr Blotto at Reggies. I guess Mr Blotto is doing all dead songs.
I think PTF will be my only after show.
GD50LIMBO on Facebook
Lots of kind people in this group. Therapy for everybody who got rejected by mail order.
You know it keeps getting stranger...
A confirmation email from last night with #420c . That's right, a lower case "c". Picture was posted of the email. What does this mean? Who knows? I just hope emails keep coming. It's nice to see the excitement of fakebook, and it was nice to hear someone here got tickets today (Ole MN).
As far as the Santa Clara rumors... I thought it was a publicity ploy by that website when I first read about it. Then Billboard picked it up, and jambase reported on Billboard. So, it has some traction. It's great because it means more people will get to see the this final version called FTW. However, when people don't get tickets again, it'll lend to more complaining and how it's all about money, etc. Heck, Jesus could come off the cross and bless the FTW Chicago event, but people would still be hating. Then, after it's all done, people will argue about which event was better and this will be especially true if Trey doesn't play at the SC shows. But how could that be (gigs without Trey) if they we're going to rehearse the two weeks prior to Chicago? If Trey plays at both, he's going to have one busy summer if the Phish tour rumors are affirmed this coming Tuesday.
And stranger... there are 24 acts listed for the 4 hour gig at Merriweather. That's 10 minutes an act without time for stage changes. How the heck is that going to pan out? There are a bunch of solo artists, but there are also a bunch of full bands (Moe, Los Lobos, WSP, Yonder, etc). They'll have to adjust the start time, right? Otherwise, it's going to be cacophony of musicians playing together and rambling on and off stage. This just doesn't sound good to me.
Well, empty handed again...
Took off from work this morning to try for tix for MD. What a bust. After calling and calling and trying on two computers, I finally got through on the phone, only to be told the event sold out in 13 minutes!
Heard the news about Santa Clara and I HOPE they will do the show! I'm desperate. How can I have tried every avenue and still be empty handed?! And, I have to add: I saw tix posted right away on vivid and ticketnetwork for the MD event....
To the scalpers: Can you just let ONE little ticket pass thru to one faithful deadhead???? MEANING ME!!!!
Could it be?
Trying to get to Chicago from LA with decent tix has been like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Too much stress. I had to stop visiting this site. Imagine my surprise when I visited for the first time in days and saw the possibility of 2 west coast shows?! A road trip to Santa Clara sounds soooooo much better. I just booked my room! It's gonna happen. Its gonna happen. Its gonna happen.
more laugh at ourselves
my son (2nd gen dead head) reminded me of an old one:
how many deadheads does it take to change a light bulb?
none: they wait for it to burn out and then follow it around for 30 years.
lisnin to DP14 here comes sunshine..taking some sting out of being shut out for everything so far.
trukineric
89 is an underrated year. saw them in bloomington, mn spring 89..great show

Just received my money orders back today...for those of you looking for info. I scored tickets online so no complaints here. Peace.

looking to level the playing field for Santa Clara...
Been looking to level the playing field for Santa Clara...doesn't look like mere mortals have a chance in hell unless they do MO, and with all the people complaining about GDTS, doubt they will...http://rocknycliveandrecorded.com/not-with-the-band-its-a-war-a-bot-war…
OH YEAH ! It's Already Happening !!!
The Cats out of the bag. California ! Knock Knockin' on the Golden Door !
Let the good times roll
Totem;I hear ya, but I think Saturday might "take all night long." I'll just be very late to the lot on Sunday. Obviously, Saturday, the 4th is the big party day. Most people should have off Friday, but it's going to be a throw down on the 4th. Sunday night will be the emotional send off.
Yeah, TruckinEric, it's going to be one wild weekend in Chicago.
Now that I think about, Sunday feels like it's going to be the most important night. However, it will probably be the easiest ticket. Sure, there will be a lot of hard core heads that know Sunday is the important night, but there should be less locals gawking. Also, some people will burn out and some will have to go home for work Monday.
:)
Mail orders accepted
Trying not to beg, but:
If anyone out there gets duplicates or extras or just can't go and you have tickets for Chicago....
...PLEASE have some decency and think of one of us poor ticketless scallywags here and help a brother or sister out?
@truckineric and mkav
I agree '89 was a great year for the dead, the shows from 88-91 bring fond memories for me. When I saw them in '93-94 it was not as good.
dear jerry show
there was a fan pre-sale on the 11th for the dear jerry show, at merriweather that was through the same ticketing company. i was sent an email from the jerry garcia site announcing it along with a code to enter the sale,"JERRY". it was sent as an email announcing this fan pre-sale and a secondary announcement for the record store day release of Garcia (Compliments) reissue 180 gram limited edition of 7,000 copies on april 18th. living on the west coast and still putting together the logistics for chicago, the merriweather show just wasnt going to workout for me. was this not common knowledge? im seeing people post that they were shut out of the sale today....was this email not sent to everyone with an account on the jerry garcia site? just curious? did anyone successfully use the code and score tickets on the fan pre-sale on the 11th? this west coast rumor surely would be nice if it turns out. but i just read an update saying phil is not going to play it, but instead mike gordon? is this real? makes sense that something happens out here, but without phil, and another phish stand in? what?
Dear Jerry
I did get that post on my FB page and my friend called with another password BLACKBIRD from the producers. The passwords worked and luckily we got through but they SO in less than 2min.
Got my money orders returned yesterday.
Shut out on mail order and TM yet there is still a small glimmer of hope. One of my attorneys partners moonlights as the home announcer for Bears games. I also worked with his wife over 30 years ago. If he was eligible to buy tickets and gets more than he can use or if there are season ticket holders at the firm who will have extras. My doctor is also a season ticket holder so who the hell knows.
