By request, a gathering spot for Chicago-bound folks to connect and plan!
Lottery Love?
What's the best way do you folx think?
Request 2 tickets for each night?
Request 3 tickets for each night?
Request 4 tickets for each night?
My experience is that the only ticket I was able to get for CHI was a single.
Money is a consideration for me, so ideally need only ask for 2 or 3 tickets a night, but as agreed, I don't want to miss out on a chance to help a brother out, if need be.
I have family here who are interested in joining me for SC, that's why the increased number.
There are 3 of us so far. Who knows what cool cats I'll meet down the road who will want to join me on the bus...
Tactic intuition family?
I am spent from slinging tacos and then celebrating a birthday. It's quiet time in my head. Someone shake the decision makers awake!

Michael Jordan Channel on Sirius XM
Whew, back from driving 1,000 miles in less than 48 hours. Fortunately, my trusty rental Kia Optima had Channel 23. Could have gotten the red Camaro or the SUV free upgrade (w/out sat) but how else would I have heard 3 1/2 concerts and Shapiro's letter read a dozen times? Listening to the To Lay Me Down from 7-7-81 and thinking about the FTW shows gave me goose bumps. Anywho, just wanted to say it's good to be back and read the positive vibes for the additional SC shows. I give a lot of credit to the band members--I was pretty critical of them with the Chicago ticketing fiasco, but their letter was very heartfelt and classy. I think they realized they could do better and they did. Kudos, gentlemen! Nice to read all the submissions here. Tough to keep up after an absence but I'm really looking forward to meeting you all in Chitown. Peace.
@ BobLoblaw
Exact scenario here dude, 14 hours of windshield time up and back to FSU for Dad's weekend...saved by channel 23 !! Unforgettable weekend as well to get smashed with your kid on Jack 'n Cokes - legally !!
They do grow-up fast, don't they....
Happy, happy Monday to all - make it a great week !!!
Oh Sallo, my Sallo
Article reads like he single-handedly rescued the bands legacy. I don't know what his connection to the band is other than a columnist who's tin foil hat conspiracy piece went viral, but don't pull a muscle patting yourself on the back, dude.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
75 days to Santa Clara.81 days to FTW.
Patch 'em, shine 'em and smoke 'em if you got 'em.
@Stella Stella!
I agree with totes, whether you want one or 3 chances are the same...
good luck and can I have extra hot sauce on mine....
Have a good day....
@Monday coffee
I checked out the Kings website and videos. Good stuff. Savannah sure keeps herself front and center with those selfies. I forgot how fun the Buffalo scene is or was!
E-MAIL CHECK !!!
Check your e-mails, SD'ers.....VERY IMPORTANT (if applicable) message that needs a reply by 3pm CDT today.
Thanks one and all !!
ps - thanks, Totes, I got'em and smoking 'em and bringing 'em to Chi-Town :-)
Snydley Whiplash Tossed Under The Bus??
I was so glad that the statement was released Friday. It seemed to quickly reaffirm faith in the band for some folks. I never really could blame the band. Their function is to facilitate the magic on the stage. But I'm not making the connection that Shapiro is more a part of this than he is a part of the marketing process. Maybe I just haven't noticed him side stage providing amazing air guitar licks that take the music to the next level. This statement and some others give the impression he really is playing in the band.
"From the moment these shows were first talked about, we have considered ways to honor the roots of our Deadhead experience, even in the face of changing technologies. Remember, Ticketmaster didn’t even go on-line until we got out of the game."
Every one despises Snydley (aka Ticketmaster). It's easy to blame it all on him, and he knows being the villain is his job. Like it or not he is here to stay. In the words of the masterful Willie J. Clinton, it depends on what the meaning of is is. But just remember this Pete, if you point a Willie at Snydley you'll have five Willies pointing right back at you.
Chit town and SC
As an eastcoaster I am unable to attend the SC shows, and having been shut out of Chi town (so far) I am wondering if any SDers that are on the westcoast, would be up for a trade if I get SC tix? I am happy to get in the lotto just to be able to help someone out for face, however I would like to arrange an equitable trade, my question, is any one interested in such a trade? Thanks, and pass that coffee....
@Clapton Bruce and Baker...
I'm so glad, I'm so glad, I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad....
Would you like it served in a white room?
With black curtains?
Rock on Boo boo
@Boo469
That's exactly what I did...
I'm not going to SC but put myself in the lotto - option one, both nights to help out our Cally heads (or anyone wanting to make the trip for those shows). Chi-Town ticket barter always welcomed also.
Have to say I'm way alarmed there are still tons of CID options left and a TM pre-sale happening.
Either word has not hit the street like the Chicago build-up, or, demand is no where near what we all might have thought.
Or, Cally is just being Cally and they're still in first gear :-)
Oh crap....
Well, I'm invested again another $1K so let's see what happens....
Get on the bus
...for sure. This may strike a raw nerve but from my perspective if you're buying them to barter or for any purpose but for going to the show you're using them as a currency of one form or another. And now you have some uncomfortable overlap with scalpers. I'm not suggesting by any stretch it's evil like selling no-view seats for $1K. But still...
@Santa Clara
Santa Clara will sell out. I'm not sure what is up with CID ticket sales, but attitude toward the shows and hype not being that as it is for Chicago be factor.
I predict Chicago tickets might even be more highly sought once these show dates hit. Don't wait too long to pull the trigger for Chicago. I think it was DWC that predicts mid June as the sweet spot. I think he's right.
Or the train...
Might as well, might as well.....
I guess Dorothy the meek is in....so at least I will know someone there...
Actually I have a long lost cousin in SF....time to reacquaint myself with da man....
#88 thanks for flipping the switch to that dim light in my head....
SC may be foreplay...but there's nothing wrong with that?
I'm also in the lottery
I hope demand is soft. I want tickets. I want to go. If you get lucky - enjoy the show(s)!
Thank you family
And yes rrrgrrr. I have a new hotsauce my friend drove back from Mexico special for me. Plenty to go around. Flavor so good - it'll burn you tongue then make it sparkle.
@hoochie mama.....!!!!!
somebody say hot sauce?
all better now...
carry on.....
Boo about Taper Tix
You request the two. If you are selected, but the taper tix are sold out, you then are up for two tickets from any price tier.
xo
And hey.
If we all get our ticket requests filled for SC, come to me. I have family in Hawaii, and up and down the west coast and in CO I could reach out to from across the decades to see if they want to take a little trip to California. I for sure know someone in Hawaii who was all shut out of CHI who is hoping for SC. Lovelove.
@hey now...
I only need 1 for Cali...if I go....
point taken....
@Dire aka Greg....
Hey guys n gals it's Dire's Birthday....

Thanks Stella, STELLA!,,,
