Grateful Dead

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)

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

"I got no chance of losing this time".

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.....

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…

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

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

Listening as we speak.

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

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

CID just sent the email - it's official

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

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

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

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.

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

Somebody PLEASE buy Klang one

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.

June 27-28

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

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

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

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.

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?

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...

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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)

See you by the pool. Got same package.

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!!!

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.

Glad you are back....

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

check your inbox please

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.

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

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

...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!

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.....

Santa Clara is a lottery so nobody is guaranteed tix yet. Just a reminder. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Except for CID...I can't do that.... Pour me another cup of coffee.....for it is the best in the land....

CID calling to my less responsible side...

Lottery chance for both nights and Klangers yard for me..... I'll put a nickel in the jukebox.... And play me..... Across the Rio Grande...e o

He's leasing out 1 square foot sections to scalpers at $100 per hour so they can pitch their tickets to passers-by and the mailman when he delivers his t-shirt.

At least it'll cover his $8 t-shirt shipping fee. :-)
