Grateful Dead 50th Anniversary

Tickets and Decorated Envelopes

I, and you all, have no knowledge how orders are being handled. A while back, though, someone posted that decorated envelopes were sorted for priority. Past history says not true. I went to concerts for years with a large number of people, we all used mail order to get tickets, and we never decorated (no artistic talent). We almost always got enough tickets, several times got front row center, and many times got great seats. So, I expect this time there is no need to despair if you did not decorate your envelope. As to the odds, well, you just have to see. And deal with it either way. Just like everything else in life.

I think at this point, i dont

I think at this point, i dont know what needs to be said... But like they said on tv just the facts.. Best info today.. This means next couple days , maybe even today i will know next faze.. I will post one way or another.Has me feeling a little bit better, but i get home and i have the pink slip.. Kind of like one i got from fam business after father died.. But long nast story of money and greed.. Lets keep happy happy happy!!

Rumors or confirmed information??

There seems to be a lot of chatter that the seating chart has changed and that they've expanded the GA area. Besides deleted seating charts, does anyone have a link to actual info about a new seating chart or a link to an image of a new seating chart? Otherwise, it's just a rumor, and false rumors usually outnumber rumors that turn out to be true. There also seems to be a lot of talk about ticket price changes and ticketBastard not having all the prices, etc. Does anyone have word that this is actually the case? Otherwise, it could just be that they haven't updated the website information for any number of reasons... especially if the seating chart did change. Also, I see people posted that if you didn't decorate your envelope you won't get tickets. I find this hard to believe. Not everybody is an artist or can draw fairly well, and not everybody has time to decorate an envelope. It would seem pretty unfair to not just state all mail orders must be decorated. I can't draw for shit. I didn't decorate an envelope for last years Bobby SLC show and I got tickets. I also never decorated for mail order in the 90's and I usually got tickets. I see someone as far east as North Carolina was already rejected for the high dollar tickets. I live in Idaho and went for 2 of the high dollar tickets each night dated on the 20th. No rejection yet. I'm not assuming anything, but it gives me hope. Condolences to those who have already been rejected, but keep the faith. Where there is a will, there is always a way. Good luck to everyone.

not expecting anything

Sorry to get people hopes up that I was disappearing. I check the forum everyday but not gonna spend as much time as I was doing. I see my rants about Santa Clara and the lack of communication regarding an announcement have fallen negatively upon some folks. For that I apologize. Will try to keep the posts to a minimum (as with the complaints as well). Hoping for an announcement, but expecting nothing. I was hoping for an announcement sooner than later so that maybe the current ticket prices would drop and availability of better seats would increase. But I know now what I want is completely irrelevant...(I will have to come to terms with that)

Just A Cup Of Cold Coffee

As you fixate on the TicketMaster spinning wheel. One minute later, Sold Out appears on the screen.

And one more time...

"I got no chance of losing this time".

Klangstone!

Where there's life there's hope.... Unlikely Gans/Lambert are gonna take an hour or two to say ....well you can buy the simulcast at $30 per night or $200 for the 3 day package...but the 3 day gives MP3 downloads... Jeez I hope it's not that....but compared to the 5+'grand I have invested in 3 days of my life it's a bargain.... The best I ever had.... I miss Keith Moon too.....

Yaaaaaay

Finally some good news! (and I no longer care about what Gans and co have to say...) http://variety.com/2015/digital/news/netflix-acquires-documentary-about…

K-FOG Says

MAJOR concert announcement coming up. It looks like Bill Walton is hitting the big time with his band!

Santa Clara

Not sure if this is real or a hoax, but would be rather elaborate for a hoax. http://cidgd50.shop.ticketstoday.com/calendar.aspx

Santa Clara is On!!

Listening as we speak.

Santa Clara a Go?!!!!!!

This looks official. http://www.cidentertainment.com/events/gratefuldead50-santaclara/

Here we go!!!

Booked room two weeks ago!!! YAY!!!! For all the No Cal Bay area HEADS!! HERE WE GO!!

Santa Clara

CID just sent the email - it's official

Dates

Eric, are the dates the same as the rumor? Waiting for the KFOG announcement.

Santa Clara

Just received the e-mail from CID offering VIP packages for Levi Stadium, 6/27 & 28

santa clara

Here you go. Good luck to all: http://www.dead50.net/

Just wondering....

If I can go to CID directly they're based here in Philly at Broad & Market in Center City Philadelphia. I live about a 1/2 hour away.

CID Entertainment Packages on sale now

If you want one, go now. http://www.cidentertainment.com/events/gratefuldead50-santaclara/

Somebody PLEASE buy Klang one

Last Fair Deal in the City

Order in. System worked like a charm. No spinning wheels, no rush (either online or to the post office), confirmation of order already in hand, and at least a chance to complete with the scalpers. Thanks to the everyone behind the scenes who took a giant step back and delivered. I'm sure there will still be issues, but all in all a much superior approach. Good luck to everyone.

Dates

June 27-28

!

Here we go again, hopefully I have better luck this time haha.

peace dead heads

Yes we are here ...beautiful Friday.cant stop smiling.

Looks Fair this time

NO TM so may actually be fair this time...CID still available though way out of my league for paying for a ticket (not interested in $1000 for 2 days...) but put my name in the hat for 1 ticket each day...lets see. I am cautiously optimistic. Good luck Klanger

Santa Clara

I'm just happy to have a chance this time. If it does not work out wasn't meant to be. God bless the Grateful Dead.

CID Tickets

The real question i have is: If you put yourself into the pool and you come out a winner, have you then actually bought the tickets, or do you have a choice to say no at that point?? If you can't go, then is it a serious hassle to sell the tickets even for cost?

Anyone else still in limbo?

I have not gotten a Chicago rejection letter yet, nor have I gotten a confirmation e-mail. At this point all I care about is that my original letter requesting tickets did not get lost in the mail. Are there others of you still waiting...one way or another? Sorry if this has been covered recently...

Dire

My understanding is you win em you bought em...non refundable....

@whiners

Let's not start complaining about Santa Clara already. Just freekin go with it already. Geeesh You're on the bus or You're off the bus ding ding ding

CID Packages

I went ahead and bought the Sunshine Daydream Travel Package for the Plaza Suites. I have frequent flyer miles to cover the airfare so I'm in. I'll go to Chicago if prices come down. Steve

Poised for flight, wings spread bright!

Grate to see the announcement and sending blessings out to the good folk who are working on making the show! We all need this :) :) :)

@Steve

Steve's on the bus! congrats. Nothing wrong with springing for a CID package

On tour?

Just realized I have hotel rooms at both venues but no tickets! WTF, FTW! Well, I think it will work out fine. I'll only be going to Santa Clara if I get tix though. Chicago I'm in with the rest of the Daydreamers regardless.

@ Will in Limbo

There are a few left around Cue Mkav And a forum thread

@on tour

Bob, I had a CID package in the cart and had the same question. If it was an east coast show, I'd have pulled the trigger. Glad some on us can do both sets of dates! If I change my mind, check PMs for me politely asking for floor space. See you in Chicago with the SSDDers! (and Buzz)

@steve

See you by the pool. Got same package.

Santa Clara going to help Chicago Heads with no Tickets

Stub Hub Total Tickets for Sale. Fri, Sat, Sun & 3 Day March 7 – 5245 March 31 - 6022 April 9 – 6353 April 10 - 6426 Plus 73 more tickets added from just yesterday!!!! Getting close to 1000 more available than March 7. June will be the Sweet Spot!!!

look at the rats leaving the ship

The cost for an obstructed view 2 day pass just dropped to around $800...oh well I would prefer SFO I think over ORD I think, closer to home and if I am coming to the US, SFO is on the list of places I would like to visit...been to ORD.

@Lady

Glad you are back....

@wolf

just out of curiosity - what % of those seats are no/obstructed view? im guessing 80-90%?

@spascarella

check your inbox please

I Wish Which Ever Works Best For You

Hopefully you find just what you want. Today's announcement should help to make it happen. I was so looking forward to meeting you and having one of your espresso's. Best Wishes.

NICE!

Very nicely worded and genuine announcement. Thanks boys, for the message. We all needed it and it was nice to read.

set list

This adds a multitude of options of what everyone will hear. Love the anticipation!Cheers to all going to Cali.

not to worry...

...Klang is off the complaint bus. On the side of the road, contemplating getting back on the 'dreamer bus. Hopefully Dire Wolf won't murder me and rrrggrrr won't leave my dead ass by the side of the road. NO more rants about Santa Clara or not having a ticket. The boys are doing their best to deter the scalpers, this is great news. Can't ask anymore from them. It took awhile but we got our announcement. All is good and right in the GD world. I have a ticket for Friday and a possible ticket for Saturday. Thanks for the Friday miracle, you know who you are! Happy Friday all!

Klang...,

I promise, I would bury your dead ass...I'm a planeteer.... Used to do Earth Day Central Park when the Airplane/Starship played for free.... Thanks to those who let me cut class in high school... One pill makes you larger.... Who knew it was the first Viagra jingle.... rrrrrgrrrrr out! Hope to see some in Cali.... And others in Chitown.....
