    Keeping Hope Alive!
    It's really nice reading everyone's emails...and that those of us still hanging on are staying optimistic, but I think we're all realistic enough at this point to be working on Plan B. Especially love hearing about the email confirmations slowly rolling in. Sounds like it's the bounce-backs but whatever...it's encouraging! I just keep thinking that the closer we get to July, tickets will be available at somewhat "normal" prices (hopefully!). Still resisting the overwhelming urge to just buy ridiculously priced tickets. Seems like lots are feeling the same way.

    Excellent news J
    Very happy for you Jsharpe! Still sitting here in limbo. I checked my MO's on Tuesday. I got lucky and a nice man answered the phone and he said he really couldn't tell me anything without an official inquiry but off the record he told me that he was sorry they were not cashed. I'm still hoping that GDTS just haven't gotten to mine yet and that it might be processed this week.....But I'm also prepared to get the pinky any day. I wish we knew how many more envelopes need to be mailed back and how many people are still in limbo. An earlier article quoting from the Stinson Beach post office said they were sending back between 2 and 3 thousand envelopes a day. Given they received so many envelopes they could still be weeks away from getting them all returned? Hoping my undecorated envelope requesting tickets for just one show didn't fall through a crack somewhere. On the other hand one more day w/out bad news in the mailbox keeps hope alive. Staying hopeful but also being realistic here. Coming up with a plan B is probably a good idea for all of us still in limbo. Hang in there, you're not alone.

    Congratulations!
    What a huge relief, very happy for you. It will surely be different one way or another, than 95. The interesting thing about the state of limbo for me is every now and then my brain tries to find reasons why its "for the best" that I might not have gotten tickets. Then the heart fights back loud and clear and blows whatever ridiculous rationalization the brain came up with out of the atmosphere. For whatever reason you are not sure about going back there I am guessing once the emotions settle you are going to be happy its on the horizon. Cheers!

    Well... just checked them mail. Not what I expected. I paid the six bucks to the post office last Friday to check the status of my MOs. The lady at the Post Office seemed a little put out at having to do the check. She filled out this big form and called the hotline. Didn't say much and then said to me something like "no information" which I took to mean not cashed. Keep in mind that I did the phone check that everyone on here did and got "Does not match" for all three big MOs and "Does match" for the three smaller ones, leading me to believe the main ones were cashed. They were. Got a letter from the post office today with a photocopy of the money order I requested an Inquiry on cashed by GDTS TOO. Guess I'm going to Chicago this summer. Hopefully the other people that paid for the inquiry will get some relief. Still no email or pink slip, but unless they stole my money I expect I'm getting tix. I really wish you all the best luck and hope to see you all there. I really know how much this means to so many people. I was at Soldier Field in July of 95 and not sure how I feel about going back there.

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!
