    Will more tickets be released after the pre sale is over?
    I got my tickets to Chicago, but no luck so far for Denver. Does any one know if a regular release through ticketmaster will come after this Pre-sale??I'm taking my 8yr old on this field trip, Can't think of anyone else I would want to bring more!

    I cannot even put into words
    I cannot even put into words how disappointed I am in the ticket prices and what is obviously a money grab. I am shocked that the remaining members would have anything to do with something so under-handed. $100 for a floor ticket.....they cant be serious. I was so excited about the tour, and now I am finally done. I have paid $50 to see Phil, but usually at small and cool venues. $100 for a sports arena. Im sorry, but people attending are suckers, plain and simple. the group I toured with, many of whom I am still in regular contact with are all in the 38-42 age range and are all professionals with income to spare. I know for a fact not one of them is going. I'll take a walk down to the venue the night of the show and try to score a ticket from the desperate people who will be stuck. At least thats what I think will be the case.

    just goes to show what a $ is worth
    in 03 saw the boys with dylan opening and also playing several tunes with them plus Robert Hunter was thrown in there inbetween for good measure, sure wasn't 100$, but, this is 09, and you know who to really thank for these prices. Jimmy Herring took the lead role that tour, so glad it's Warren instead this time. IMHO the best and closest match to Jer was the 2000 other ones tour, with Steve Kimock and Mark K. from ratdog both on lead, that space they played at live oak in fla was awesome. No one, no how, no where will ever replace Jer. logged on at 11:55 am, sent to waiting area, sat for 45 mins, booted right up and got great seats at greensboro. It must have been the roses, just moved to NC from FL and would not have been able to go if still lived in fla, thanks to the band for letting me wave that flag one more time. See you all there.

    Chicago
    I tried like crazy at 11 a.m. yesterday for chicago tix. so much traffic on the site that it wouldn't let me do anything. Tried at 11 pm last night, said there weren't enough tix for me to order 2. tried again at 5 a.m. this morning.... got one tix in a not so wonderful section... i said, well honey, have fun... logged on 5 minutes later and got one more tix, with a seat directly behind the first tix i purchased. i don't know if i should push my luck with another tix just in case or not. but hey, at least we are both going. and i got lucky with a hotel "suite" right across from arena for $89, compared to a regular room for $125. lucky to get that, 2 hotels i tried were already "no vacancy" for that night.Chi-town here we come and we are STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we will be there early afternoon if anybody wants to hang out b4 the show!!!!!!!!!! just let me know.

    C'mon guys, 100 bucks for a ticket. Jerry must be spinning. 350 for a special ticket package. And in the worst recession since WWII. I'd rather see the DSO for 35.00. Certainly not what you would expect from a band that once touted their tickets were a "righteous 5 dollars" . I'm staying home.

    I gotta admit I was shocked
    I gotta admit I was shocked and extremely disappointed with the average ticket price for these shows. I was planning on doing the Philly run, but for me an my girl to go it would be almost $500 dollars alone in tixs. In my opinion that is way, way too much. I'll most likely still try and hit one of the shows but I honestly think we're all getting raped!!

    In Comparison...
    All Phish tickets are 49.50, no matter where the seat. Don't tell me prices are going up 100% when another band can sell em for 49.50.As stated before, you think that in a bad economy, that a band with so much money wouldn't make their fans hold their own ankles while they bend over. It just aint right. Between the political support and the major inflation of tickets, this band has definitely sold out. If half the price for every ticket was for some charity, I might consider going, but right now, I need charity while these rich old men enjoy their private estates. Again, Phish tickets are all 49.50. Who has more concern for their fans? See you on Phish tour.

Don't think this head has the power to resist the sweet temptation of touring again. It's in my blood and veins....I'm gonna get on the bus in Chitown all the way through The Gorge. I can't wait to be twirling with all you headicated people! I'm gonna be dancin' and singin' where the grass is always greener (the Dead shows) and I am considerably excited. Don't even think I'm gonna care if I have all the tickets or not. I've put my finger in the air many times before and I'll tell you that I don't mind hanging out in the drum circles outside in the lot! Love ya all~ ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Anyone get their mail order from Verizon Center show in April yet? I'm hearing about all these other shows getting their tickets that take place later in the tour and wondering why the earlier show didn't go out first. I guess I'm just starting to get concerned since this is the first show for my son and I wanted to give him the tickets for his birthday which is this 3/6.

I can't believe I lost out on the Garden shows ( so far at least ). I went through ticket master about a minute after it went on sale and it re-directed me to their alter site for 10X face value tickets. A few weeks later there was all kinds of outrage that the same thing happened to the Springsteen shows then all of a sudden all kinds of politicians and government officials get involved and they change their rules / policies ... a lot of good that did me !

In the process of setting up a little get together, on a farm just outside of the venue (6-10 miles) you could walk. But, it's not going to get out of hand, and only kind people will be let in the "doors"____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

I will be bringing 2 decorated banners on tour. Both banners are being designed by talented artists. I will be at every show with them(except the second shoreline) and already have plans to meet up with lots of people from this site to get them signed. I am trying to get as many signatures as possible! I will also be taking fun pics with them at scenic locations like haight/ashbury corner... times square and everything in between! If you would like to make arrangements to meet up and sign please email me at jphilipedwards@yahoo.comHope to see you at the show! Peace 42% of all statistics are made up.

I haven't received my 5-4 CHI tic yet -- they said it should be in my mailbox by 2 weeks before the show. M 5-5 tic I pick up there -- I splurged on a High Time VIP package... I'm trying to find my DeadHead friends here in STL who are going up to CHI -- anyone else around here going to the CHI shows?? Hope they keep this up... My first show was in '81 at Assembly Hall in Champaigne, Urbana (U of IL). Second show was at Riverport (yuk...band was good -- just don't care for Riverport or whatever Corporate name it has now) in '94 in STL, MO. Missed two-thirds of the show cause some one not associated with the concert was attempting to suicide from a building in that area. They stopped us on Hwy 70 -- I had to PISS so bad!! Got to my seat at the drum solo!!! Carry a bucket in the car, folks... I see Ratdog and Phil and Friends whenever they come thru StL. Can't wait!! Laura :)

You wrote:GDTSTOO "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??" My problem is, I mailed MO at 6am on first day of mail order. Got an email from their yahoo group saying all orders would be filled with the exception of MSG. That to me means I had tickets. Wouldn't you think the same? I then get an email from them on Feb 25th w/ subject line saying "4-18-09 upgrade!". I almost didn't read it because I didn't want an upgrade. It looked like a ploy to get rid of the seats none of us could afford..... I had to scramble to a fax machine, just before leaving on a plane to make sure they got it before March 1st. I understand they could have just returned my MO, but I feel taken as do many other people. I think that they only had a handful of tix at the cheaper range and they should have said something sooner. I have spoken to all of my friends who mail ordered on day 1 and they ALL got this same email. I think they sent this email out way too late, they must have known on DAY 1 that they couldn't fill all of the orders, since we all mailed on day 1! At this point, I unfortunately feel that my friends and I have been taken. I think they were stuck with a bunch of higher priced seats, that probably still suck and decided to send this little email out which basically means, buy this or you're screwed.

Seems like more people targeted the cheaper seats than they were expecting. I guess you should have sent in 2 money orders to ensure you got the cheap seats. The times where I see mail order work very well is when all the seats cost the same. It is much more straight forward. My point is that GDTS was trying to make sure you got tickets.

I've had similar problems with GDTSTOO I sent them my credit card information twice because the first didn't go thru and got no confirmation letter or email of any kind. I've been trying impossibly to get a response about whether or not my credit card will be charged and when I can expect this to happen. They just keep saying next week when we process the orders but no date or anything. I've never seen the email you guys above are referring too. ITs been hairy and I need to know if I can pay my rent yet...WTF!
