    Fare Thee Well shows
    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?

    Two 50th or Dear Jerry Tickets
    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

    Still hoping
    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

    Does anyone have two lawn seats they are willing to sell me? I tried and I tried but no luck today. Last time I saw the boys was May 27 - 28, 1995, Sam Boyd Silvewr Bowl in Las Vegas. Miracles do happen!

    Like others, seeking one last miracle. Face value is a miracle for this one. If someone gets a line, or a method to reasonably priced tickets, PM me. Have friends going to Chicago who got MOs and would love to join them. Haven't seen them in many moons.

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!

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

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

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

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!

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

It's the same story the crow told me... Like most, got shut out of GA and TM booted me while paying. I just want to see the boys one last time. Have cash and/or trade. Jewelry, art... I will let it go so I can go. One pass or show- coming from Houston prefer pass. Can't do GA due to mobility. Would be grateful forever. Thank you brothers and sisters!

First, thanks to the band for adding two more shows. I live in Chicago and, like many of us, was shut out on MO, CID and TM and won't abide the scalper situation. I'm hoping that maybe some of you in northern California who were luckier than I are rethinking the trip to Chicago now that 2 shows have been added closer to home. If so, and you are a lucky recipient of Santa Clara tickets, please consider using this forum for passing your tickets along, instead of going the stub hub, ebay route. While I would love tickets to any show any day in Chicago, I just don't think I can swing the trip to Santa Clara do to family responsibilities. But whether you choose me, or any other true fan to pass your tickets along to, please keep it in the family. I will be at Soldier Field all three days regardless, dancing in the parking lot if I can't get inside. Thanks and good luck to all!

Hello Friends, I have two tickets for both Saturday and Sunday in Santa Clara and am willing to entertain any trade offers for the Chicago show(s). I live in Milwaukee, and Chicago is just far more convenient. Hoping there is someone out west with Chicago tix in a similar predicament. The Saturday(6/27)tickets are section 248 row 21 seats 5-6(full view premium seats) The Sunday(6/28)tickets are GA Floor If you have interest, or would like to discuss further, please reach out to me at: clubhouseguy1@hotmail.com Thanks, Chris

If anyone has 1 - 3 extra Saturday tickets for Santa Clara(non obstructed) and would be interested in selling for face value to a very very kind long time head from Canada I'm your guy!

We're still hoping for 2 tickets to any of the Chicago shows. We'd prefer Sunday but would be glad to go any day. Going to Santa Clara is not even in the realm of possibility for us. Please PM me if you have a pair of tickets you're willing to sell for face value or slightly more. Thanks!
