    Good Vibrations
    Karma is a babe from Fennario - or maybe Carlisle-Mayor K. All of the goodwill we sent to you came back threefold. After the late nights fraught with ticket envy and ticketmaster bashing, we are almost out on the Golden Road. The love of my life and I have tickets on hand for 7/5, we check in Friday night, and we might even go to the Saturday show too if tickets are reasonable on the lot. I will expose her to Billy and Mike for the first time......I haven't seen either of them since Montage Mountain 1998. I will not be wearing my 1989 summer tour Batman steal your face t shirt as planned....26 years and 36 pounds have made it not decent for the public !!! We probably all faced similar dilemmas while packing. Sh*t, I don't even recall bringing much with me when I was on the road in 88 and 89. Was I uncivilized? No, just a Deadhead. I'm so excited to see old friends, the Shakedown, new friends, and the seven guys on stage.

That is no typo. This is the grateful dead. They want to give everyone equal chance at the best seats. Where were you for the Chicago sale? Or when Jerry was alive? jk. Same thing happened then.

I found this on the site for Santa Clara: Bag Policy Levi’s® Stadium prohibits all bags, backpacks and other carriers from being brought into the stadium with the following exceptions: Clear plastic bags up to 12″ x 6″ x 12″ One gallon clear plastic zip lock type bags Small clutch bag (the size of an adult’s hand) (4.5″ x 6.5″) All approved bags are subject to inspection upon entry and are subject to additional inspections within the stadium. Guests with oversized bags or other prohibited items must check these bags or items at bag check sites located outside of Intel Gate A, and Toyota Gate F. These sites close one hour after the completion of the event. Can't find similar on the Soldier Field site? Anyone have any insight into what we'll be allowed to bring in? Small backpack? Fanny pack? Shoulder bag?? For Santa Clara, it looks like I have to sew a strap onto a clear zip lock bag to keep my.... I don't know... lip gloss and money purse in?

Having been shutout of Chicago, I am very thankful for the Santa Clara shows and submitted my lottery request already (for 2 tickets each night, no extras). I am not trying to start any negative issues here, but I am confused and wanted to ask if anyone else is confused by the ticket/seat count numbers for Santa Clara or has any additional info? I have seen/read the following items... From www.levisstadium.com/stadium-info/about-levis-stadium/ The $1.2 billion venue has 1.85 million square feet, seats approximately 68,500 and features 165 luxury suites and 8,500 club seats. From www.dead50.net/ We are are proud to announce that 65,000 tickets per night will be available via the "online mail order" for the Levi’s shows. (this would seem to be nearly all the tickets) CID has travel packages that secured an unknown number of advance tickets. Ticketmaster shows a PUBLIC ONSALE date of April 20. (Will there be any tickets for a public onsale?) Ticketmaster is having a 49ers presale today, April 13: 49ERS Presale Offer Start: Mon, 04/13/15 10:00 AM PDT End: Mon, 04/13/15 10:00 PM PDT With the following info from: www.levisstadium.com/2015/04/grateful-dead-original-members-add-two-lev… Levi’s® Stadium SBL members have an opportunity to participate in an exclusive presale for a limited number of tickets on Monday, April 13. On that day, each SBL member account will receive a ticket purchase offer in its associated email account that provides an opportunity to purchase a maximum of four tickets per show. SBL members who are unable to secure tickets through this exclusive presale still have the opportunity to participate in the online random drawing prior to the April 14 deadline. Anyone know what SBL members are? (It can't be the 8,500 club seats, since 8,500 x 4 tickets each could be as many as 34,000 tickets per show. That would be over half the tickets per show, ouch!) What am I missing here?

Club seat license members can only buy what they own, so if they own 2 seat licenses they can only order 2 per show... Some club seat holders don't order at all...it's all tied to your seat license contract number....

The original members of Grateful Dead - Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, and Bob Weir - have announced two additional shows at Levi's® Stadium on June 27 and June 28, as part of their "Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead" run. As a Reserve Member, you will have access to an exclusive presale* on Monday, April 13 at 12pm PST through 10pm PST. You will be sent an individual passcode unique to your account along with the ticket link at the start of your presale on Monday. Please note, your unique passcode will allow you to purchase a maximum of four (4) tickets to either show or both. Due to high interest and expected sellout for this event, we cannot guarantee access to tickets for all SBL Members. Tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. SBL Members who are unable to purchase tickets during their presale will still have the opportunity to enter the general public random drawing prior to Tuesday, April 14 on dead50.net. Tickets go on sale to the winners of the general public random drawing on Monday, April 20 at 10am PST.

In case you all were wondering how many 49ers SBL tickets were available, I don't think many. I have been trying for the last 45 minutes and nothing is coming up no matter which seats or quantity. I can't even find one in the 400's...

Ho hum. Maybe someone with political aspirations wrote the 65K portion of the letter. It sure did sound nice. Let's hope the one order per address, credit card, etc. portion is more precise. In any case, we at least escaped the TM treadmill ... for now anyway (?).

Take a look, physically, at Levi's - almost 1/2 the building on one full side is all super boxes. Nuts. Just lower bowl seats then rows and rows of boxes up to the top. Other side of the stadium has mainly all seats, then some boxes. That dot com money is everywhere .....

static.ticketstoday.com/dead50/images/dead50_seatingchart.jpg Just noticed that some sections are labeled differently (C or VIP): C113-C114 (club seats?) 115 VIP (CID reserved seats?) C115-C117 (club seats?) C135-C137 (club seats?) 138 VIP (CID reserved seats?) C139-C141 (club seats?) C236-C242 (club seats?) Does anyone know if this is right? Were all these seats already earmarked for CID and 49ers season ticket holders?

Good eye TCarr. Don't know the answer to your question, but they sure got the good seats if that is the case.

After months of back and forth with the ticket stuff and soldier and all that, what a nice place the band has brought us to. Loved the letter they put out. And now these two shows!!!! My mouth is watering just thinking about them. And great job with the online ticket lottery. The demand greatly exceeds the supply, so this seems like the most equitable and efficient way to get the greatest possible number of true fans in the stadium. Best of luck to everyone out there!!!

I am waiting to get shut out of SC despite only asking for 1 ticket for both nights AND will call (if that doesn't scream fan and not scalper I don't know what does...) Thankfully, I have a saint ORD ticket if SC falls through (don't know that I should be galavanting across the country anymore...) so fingers crossed. I will be seeing the Dead somewhere this summer. Peace! (and good luck to all of you - like me - waiting to find out about SC) Hey does anyone know when the 'random lottery' will be done and they send out the notifications? The website is a lot dicey on that aspect.

Well my 9er deadhead friend and I are 1/2 way there. As seems to always be the case nowadays there was a problem with the SBL code. After 1 hour we got 2 for the 28th sec201 row 20. Yipee. Now for part 2. By the way a possible answer to the floor difference in price. The pit is right in front of the stage my experience with stadiums is the music will go right over their head and no visuals

No doubt about a lot of money being out there .Com being one of the sources. But in this case box seats club seats etc can be laid at the feet of players demanding and getting pay in the 100's of millions and even everyday joe expecting something better than The Stick. Owners of course want their billions

I was able to get 1 nose bleed for each day in SC. I don't think there was that many tickets made avail to 49ers season ticket holders, so that is a good sign for the lottery!!

I realize we are talking about the 50'th here.... But wanted to throw out something to keep us all on our toes from time to time. If anyone wants to get even more excited about the up coming shows? I suggest checking out the Hampton show from this date back in 1984. It has ONE of my favorite Morning Dews I heard in person. Crazy of me I know but just counted how many times I saw Morning Dew "43 times" of those 43 the Hampton one is nice because to me sounds as if Jerry has a tear in voice when singing ( I guess it doesn't matter anyway).

I can tell you that C141 is most likely CID. That's where my seat is that I bought through them.

I'll have to dig for the Hampton "84. Check out the heartfelt Morning Dew on 9-3-88 This was the first Make A Wish Foundation show. "Thought I Heard A Young Man Moan This Mornig !" Also the last Electric Ripple for the encore ! The whole second set cooks. Audience source best for this one. The crowd really gets into it.

There were some epic versions in the '80's. My favorite is from 9-18-87 at MSG. I heard it as part of the second set coming out of drums played on the Grateful Dead Hour just after the show and was blown away by the whole sequence. An insane All Along the Watchtower and a rockin' Good Lovin'/La Bamba transition. Then Jerry tops it off with a Dew where he spills every last drop of energy and emotion onto the stage--the audience must have been searching for their faces for hours after that show!

Specials guests too, like Barney on Aiko Aiko. I heard due to weak ticket sales, they're are gonna get the cover band the Who to open Saturday night. Maybe Billy will sit in on drums and Phil on bass and we'll have a good ole cover band good time in my generation. I'm thinking to rent a hot air balloon that says "Jerry Was Here" and fly under cover over Soldier Field while Weir joins for the sing-a-long join together in band.
