    My WU money orders for all
    My WU money orders for all three days were cash on 2/24 but I never got an email from GDTS TOO so I'm also in limbo. I take it as good news that the money orders were cash but it sure would be nice to know for sure that I got tickets.

    To all - I did not realize
    To all - I did not realize that there was more than 1 blog/thread on this website. I originally posted the following on 3/16 in another blog. My reason for this repost is to encourage everyone still waiting not to give up - miracles can still happen! It ain't over until it's ever. The post: There is light at the tunnel! I sent in for all 3 shows in one envelope on 1/20. On 2/26 I get a congratulatory email as many did. No specifics - just an email. So ok, does that mean I got tix to all 3 shows? Should I assume I have tix for all 3 shows? Of course not! But after reading many comments in this email thread, on 2/27 I went to the PO and asked to trace the (3) money orders. That took another $18.30. I thought they would tell me right then an there whether the MOs had been cashed. Nope they told me I would get a letter within 7-10 business days. More waiting ... aargh! On or about 3/10 I received 3 letters, dated 2/28, one for each MO telling me that they have not been cashed. More waiting ... #@%!&! Today, 3/16, I received 3 letters, dated 3/5, one for each MO. Each letter had a copy of the front and back of the MOs. It does appear that they were cashed on 3/2. Am I excited? Of course I am - but I would feel much better if I had my tickets in my hand! Apparently, I still have to wait 3 more months before I will see the tix. This is a lot of angst for this old guy that used to hang around 710 Ashbury St. in 66/67 .... but it appears there is light at the end of the tunnel! I feel bad for all those that didn't get tickets - my friends, my family, and my fellow DHs. But you never know - miracles do happen. Miss ya Jerry.

    Shut Out and Down and Out
    Like a lot of you, I did the mail order routine for years. This one left a bad taste in my mouth. I sent in several thousand dollars in money orders all in one envelope. I got completely shut out. Ok, so it happens. But what annoys me to no end is hopping on line and seeing these tickets trade for many, many multiples of face value. I can afford the asking price, but it galls me that I am putting bucks in the pocket of some ticket carpetbagger who merely got lucky. If there is a next time, the Band's management should figure out a way to auction the tickets through Dead.Net and give the proceeds above reasonable face value to Rex or some other Dead charity, rather than some random opportunist. Sorry to be negative, but technology has moved a bit ahead of mail order to where this could have been done better to get tickets to people who were willing to pay and actually hit the shows, and not let a bunch of random people reap the profits.

    I read the directions the same way you did and played by the rules. However, the email update you are referring too meant that if they happened to get one of their envelopes selected then they will get tickets not that because they sent multiple envelopes they will definately get one of them. Doesn't make it much better but does show they were so overwhelmed that they couldn't track who sent multiple envelopes. I'm not on the payroll and feel your pain, got shut out in all three avenues. Good luck!

    Money Orders Returned
    Hey Now!I had been in Limbo Land and received my money orders back on Friday the 13th of March! Never got any notice prior to public on sale date. I sent in 6 money orders at 8am on 1/20...2 for each day for different price seats. Now we find out that people that sent in separate envelopes for each day will at least be getting one of their orders filled...NOT COOL!...to suggest on GDTSTOO that all shows can be ordered in one envelope and then also state that "Duplicate orders" will result in your disqualification and then reward those that sent in multiple envelopes is lame.

    You have an extra to share! (maybe)_
    Maybe you got lucky and they screwed up and processed yours twice and awarded you two sets of tickets!!! As a hopeful recipient of a miracle, I wish the best for you. In all seriousness, I would contact Elvis at GDTS and see what is the dilly-o. He should respond (perhaps without an answer) within a day or two. Good luck

exact same situation. i have my copies of my cashed MOs but cannot get confirmation from GDTSTOO that I'll get tix. Elvis @ GDTSTOO said I'm not on the reject or "winner" lists. It will take a few more days to conform...but I've heard that 3 times now. hard to stay patient. I "assume" i have tix, and you probably do, too, but really need the confirmation.GDTSTOO cashed my tickets.

thanks for the reply. i have gotten the same response from elvis- not on the winners list or rejection list. i know i am not on the rejection list because my MO's have been cashed. i am either on the winner's list or stolen list. i am stilling holding tight and being patient. i went to the post office on monday and filled out a 6401 form, so i guess i will find out sooner than later who cashed those MO's. i will keep you posted on my situation @mkav. i am rooting for us!

I am still in limbo. MOs were cashed but no confirmation email. Elvis said I should be good to go and that they just lost me in the database shuffle. Sure would be nice to get a confirmation and info as to what tickets I 'might' get. Are there others out there waiting (hoping) like me?

hey now. i was in limbo land for a very long time. i was lost in the data base as well, but elvis found me and sent me a confirmation email about two weeks ago. i was in communication with him for a while. all of my correspondence to him were respectful, patient, kind worded, mellow, and reasonable. he always got back to me and he, in turn, was respectful, patient, kind worded, mellow, and reasonable. he really tried hard to help me out. i think if you keep corresponding with him, in a reasonable manner, he will find you in the data base and get back to you. those folks at gdtstoo had a big job and i thought they did a good job and made the best out of a very difficult and trying situation. my hat is off to them. also, if you sent gdtstoo a postal money order you can file a PS form 6401 with your post office. it cost $6.10. i did this for ONE of my six money orders. i received a scanned copy of the money order. on the back of the money order, it showed the offical GDTSTOO stamp on the endorsement line. this gave me a piece of mind and i would recommend doing it if you are worried that they were stolen. good luck to you! i am sure you got tickets. from on limbo lander to another, i am pulling for you. see you in chi!

I had similar experience as HeadyB. By all means, trace at least one of the MOs to be sure GDTSTOO cashed them. I emigrated from limbo land to the promised land when Elvis was finally able to confirm my tickets, but I was 99% of the way there when I saw that GDTSTOO cashed my emails. I emailed Elvis my MO #s...almost immediately after that, he confirmed my tix. It may have been mere coincidence on that part, though. Good luck. If GDTSTOO cashed your MOS, you should be good.

You were right. After waiting patiently, Elvis sent me my congratulatory email last night. See y'all in Chicago. Now for those California tickets.

that is some good news thornwave! enjoy the shows and see you there. i found santa clara to be a very easy ticket. there seem to be way more extras floating around. i was able to find two for each night, face value- worse seats (also the cheapest- which is nice) in the house, but we are in! good luck to any other limbolanders!

There is limited availability of 12 and 20 person Sky Suites for the Chicago Fare The Well shows. They are obstructed view but there will be big screens showing the band. The tickets are $200 and you must buy the whole suite. I don't know which dates are available but if you can round up enough buddies to do this it will at least get you in. You can contact them at suites@soldierfield.net and ask for information. Hope this helps!

HeIlo all....

I am searching for Bobby and Billy NYE Kauai tickets they sold out today. Do you have any idea where I might locate these on a ticket forum in the Dead community? I am really looking hard as I want to gift a ticket to my beloved for Christmas. Any help would be much appreciated. 2 tickets would be ideal but 1 would be just fine as well. Thanks for any leads!
