    Mailman just delivered my pink slip (45 days waiting). Now hoping for a miracle somewhere else since I have airline tickets and a great hotel on Michigan Ave. Good luck to all the rest waiting!

    Limbo with Confirmed Cashed MO's
    Thanks MaryE for setting this up. My status: I paid the $6.10 for just the 2 base MO I sent in (figured if those 2 were cashed then I'm in and that's all that matters). Requested 2 for 7/3 and 4 for 7/5. Figured I'd go with my wife on Friday and a few of the old crew on Sunday. Post Office confirmed they were cashed the day after I paid the inquiry fee (now waiting the 5-7 business days for copies of the cashed MO's which the Federal Reserve will mail). My hope is certainly that my order was filled but my email wasn't written clearly enough. I'm still in limbo though as I haven't gotten the email from GDTS and am nervous that they got swiped and cashed by someone else. I traded emails with Elvis but know they're still swamped. I hope that if I email him a scanned copy of the cashed MOs he can confirm they cashed them and then I can put this limbo to rest!

    I will watch here. Funny.... I tend to end up agreeing with everyone. Those who complain (but not the EXTREME complainers), and those that say "Mellow out.... if it is meant to be, it will be". I do have serious money tied up here, but on the other hand, if I did get tickets the money would be gone anyway. Not sure what to think anymore. I suppose the longer it takes to get the rejection letter, the better the odds become. But the "odds" mean nothing, if the tickets never come.

    MO refund
    You can do an inquiry for $3.50 and then just have to wait 60 days(from the date of MO)to get it refunded. When I verify mine it says "awaiting eligible refund"

    My buddy is a mailman and checks with my carrier each a.m. to see if that wicked return from Stinson Beach is there. He texts me each day and that saves me from gauging where my mail carrier is and waiting all day. MO still not cashed, but given what I know about our postal system, who knows how accurate that is. I decorated my first envelope with a Wadjet Eye of Horus and a Scarab, two of the luckiest symbols I could think of. Wondering if Ganesha would have made more sense, yea, with a Jerry face. At 50 years(and many shows later) my ability to recall whether I wrote my email address on my 3X5 card is gone. As Bobby once said, "Our short term memory facilities are not what they used to be, but we can hold a grudge."

    do we start worrying that our MOs are lost? Not one to bash the USPS or GDTSToo but ...I assume that once they have mailed the last MO back they will make an announcement.... But then, if still no return do you (I) crank up that ol' Victrola and wait for the June mailing (or not) or (II) pay the PO whatever absurd tracking fees are necessary to find out what happened to your MOs??

    Still waiting..
    ..for a miracle. I sent my lightning bolt envelope in on the last official day of the hunt 1.21. I requested a total of (4) tix.. (2) for each night- Friday and Saturday. All reserved. I have yet to receive either a pink slip or an email confirmation. I'm not ready to start tracking my MO's yet- sounds like a big hassle- Fuck it. I figure if I don't make the cut than it just wasn't meant to be- and that's OK. To scramble for tickets when they were released (w/out knowing the status of my money orders) just didn't seem right. So I'm.. Sitting here in limbo But I know it won't be long Sitting here in limbo Like a bird without a song

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!
