    Will more tickets be released after the pre sale is over?
    I got my tickets to Chicago, but no luck so far for Denver. Does any one know if a regular release through ticketmaster will come after this Pre-sale??I'm taking my 8yr old on this field trip, Can't think of anyone else I would want to bring more!

    I cannot even put into words
    I cannot even put into words how disappointed I am in the ticket prices and what is obviously a money grab. I am shocked that the remaining members would have anything to do with something so under-handed. $100 for a floor ticket.....they cant be serious. I was so excited about the tour, and now I am finally done. I have paid $50 to see Phil, but usually at small and cool venues. $100 for a sports arena. Im sorry, but people attending are suckers, plain and simple. the group I toured with, many of whom I am still in regular contact with are all in the 38-42 age range and are all professionals with income to spare. I know for a fact not one of them is going. I'll take a walk down to the venue the night of the show and try to score a ticket from the desperate people who will be stuck. At least thats what I think will be the case.

    just goes to show what a $ is worth
    in 03 saw the boys with dylan opening and also playing several tunes with them plus Robert Hunter was thrown in there inbetween for good measure, sure wasn't 100$, but, this is 09, and you know who to really thank for these prices. Jimmy Herring took the lead role that tour, so glad it's Warren instead this time. IMHO the best and closest match to Jer was the 2000 other ones tour, with Steve Kimock and Mark K. from ratdog both on lead, that space they played at live oak in fla was awesome. No one, no how, no where will ever replace Jer. logged on at 11:55 am, sent to waiting area, sat for 45 mins, booted right up and got great seats at greensboro. It must have been the roses, just moved to NC from FL and would not have been able to go if still lived in fla, thanks to the band for letting me wave that flag one more time. See you all there.

    Chicago
    I tried like crazy at 11 a.m. yesterday for chicago tix. so much traffic on the site that it wouldn't let me do anything. Tried at 11 pm last night, said there weren't enough tix for me to order 2. tried again at 5 a.m. this morning.... got one tix in a not so wonderful section... i said, well honey, have fun... logged on 5 minutes later and got one more tix, with a seat directly behind the first tix i purchased. i don't know if i should push my luck with another tix just in case or not. but hey, at least we are both going. and i got lucky with a hotel "suite" right across from arena for $89, compared to a regular room for $125. lucky to get that, 2 hotels i tried were already "no vacancy" for that night.Chi-town here we come and we are STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we will be there early afternoon if anybody wants to hang out b4 the show!!!!!!!!!! just let me know.

    I'll pass on this tour
    C'mon guys, 100 bucks for a ticket. Jerry must be spinning. 350 for a special ticket package. And in the worst recession since WWII. I'd rather see the DSO for 35.00. Certainly not what you would expect from a band that once touted their tickets were a "righteous 5 dollars" . I'm staying home.

    I gotta admit I was shocked
    I gotta admit I was shocked and extremely disappointed with the average ticket price for these shows. I was planning on doing the Philly run, but for me an my girl to go it would be almost $500 dollars alone in tixs. In my opinion that is way, way too much. I'll most likely still try and hit one of the shows but I honestly think we're all getting raped!!

    In Comparison...
    All Phish tickets are 49.50, no matter where the seat. Don't tell me prices are going up 100% when another band can sell em for 49.50.As stated before, you think that in a bad economy, that a band with so much money wouldn't make their fans hold their own ankles while they bend over. It just aint right. Between the political support and the major inflation of tickets, this band has definitely sold out. If half the price for every ticket was for some charity, I might consider going, but right now, I need charity while these rich old men enjoy their private estates. Again, Phish tickets are all 49.50. Who has more concern for their fans? See you on Phish tour.

You guys should KNOW that I want to go to a show, but I don't want to see you guys get busted and there's always millions of cops showing up when I go to a show unarmed and stuff. That's the way it was at Irvine Meadows a couple of years ago - and plus no one would sell me anything. Hey - the times they are a-changin'. Deadheads are sending me private messages now and are responding to my posts. Maybe in the near future I'll be able to go to a show and party in the parking lot like I used to (before anyone knew me really) and turn Deadheads on to classic Dead, my unique semi-altered Dead songs composed totally originally from me playing to make the songs exciting to earn money touring around . . . and of course originals by me. Look forward to seeing all of you!! Let's hope folks try and keep the music alive and here's hoping that Republicans don't throw us to the lions for being wierd.

And I only am saying something because you keep bringing it up but if I were to spend $100 I'd rather see the Dead once than DSO 4 times. "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

So I guess the west-coaster's are still safe. I'm on a trip for a week-and-a-half before G'boro, so I'd feel a lot safer seeing tix sooner than later. This is making me crazy!

...Why anybody would put a bumpersticker on their car that would call down "the local loser high school drop-out townie who used to be small but worked out in the gym and got a marine style haircut" cop to bust their chops for smiling on a cloudy day? I know, it's a free country, but I don't have the money to pay my lawyer to follow me around in a car on tour. In Amerika we have the best justice money can buy!

I have a funny story about Dead stickers-When I was younger(18-19) I had this bright yellow peice of crap dodge aspen 4 door that had a ridiculous amount of Dead/Zeppelin/Floyd stickers all over it (including the windshield) and I lived in N.H.-and I was driving home from Old Orchard Beach Jerry Garcia Band show Shroomin' my brains out(I know should'nt have been driving) This Maine State Trooper pulls us over and we were like "oh shit" + He goes-"You kids coming from the Jerry show?" and I was like-"yes sir" and he goes "what did he do for an encore?"I almost shit my pants-I dont remember what I said but I remember he said "sweet" he actually said "SWEET!!" Anyway then he goes-"You know your not supposed to have stickers on your front windows or wind shield." so l said-"sorry sir" and he goes-"Your lucky im a Deadhead,now take this shit box back to NH and dont come back!!!" guess its true-"We are everywhere"

grate story about tthe Maine head trooper who gave you a break. reminds me of a tale: I remember back in the 80's, I was working some shit job that had me driving up and down the NJ turn pike early am. way too much caffeine in my system and way too little sleep... in my ride, which had only ONE, subtle dead related roses sticker on the rear window, (you had to be a head to know what it was) I was cruisingg down the pike at about 70 miles an hour, shaving with my electric razor on the way to work... early am, before sunrise, I suddenly get hit by a flash of light. ok, keep going, trying to stay centered, I notice a car riding up on my right, and I get hit in the face with another flash of light. damn, a NJ state troop in his roller pulled up next to me, shining his mag light in my face, he drops back, and of course, puts on the red lights. I pull over, keeping my hands on the wheel. roll down the window, he walks up; his hand on his gun, big bright light in my eyes. "I was shaving, officer" I said. 'You're speeding, you are all over the road, AND you are shaving!!!??' "Yaa suh, I'm sorry. I'm going to work" 'shaving??!!' "yaa suh, sorry" (long, loud heart beats that rival Edgar Allan Poe eminating pounding my clavicals ) 'shaving??!! what would Jerry say?' and with a chuckle, he turned, got back in his roller and drove off. I let my pulse get back down to a normal beat before I eased off the shoulder and back into traffic. getting back into civilation now... an adventure. peace.

Hi all~ It's super late, so I haven't done the google search tonight to see if there are tickets left for the March shows in Cali...As it is, we are having issues with work, so I don't know if we can even go to the La, much less the Shoreline show...but still, I'm bundling up my sage and hoping for the miracle... Anybody know if people will be selling tickets in either of the lots if I don't get a chance to buy them earlier??? Also, anybody planning on selling anything??? Anybody planning on holding drum circles or other lot jams?? I remember when we went to the Dead in Nor Cal a couple of years ago, the dang horse police broke up the circle...it was such a bummer because I really wanted my hubby to get to experience a good one...Anyways...back in '93-'95, I never went with a ticket, I always had to save money until the very last minute, so part of the beauty of the whole thing was the lot and the luck that I would get if I was blessed enough to get in...course, that was a long time ago...it sure would be nice to go this year...I've been wanting to take my dad (who just loves music and was all hippied out in the 60's, but never really "got" the Dead...), as well as my youngest brother who is in his early 20's and who I think just might really like it... Any info. is appreciated... -Hopeful79 (Stacy)

Hate to put a damper on anyone-But im Bummin out right now-Just found out I cant go to the show because we just got an unexpected HUGE bill that is of a personal nature and there is NO WAY to get out of it and there is also NO WAY I can afford the tickets and the show- unless some crazy miracle happens between now and 4/18 like hitting the lottery! I am truly sad. Guess I will just have to hope for some east coast summer gigs or just settle for DSO at Hampton Beach in june :-(

Sorry to hear of your sitch...We are right there with you on that one!!! We're self employed in the construction industry, and it's just so crappy right now!! Bills just are no fun, especially, when you consider the whole idea of just losing the house and the credit cards/utilities;etc...and walking away from the rat race and doing some travelling, camping, dancing and overall, just living the life "outside of the rat race"...don't mind me...it's almost 3 am and I am still on the computer for work...tomorrow is going to be interesting with my whole two or three hours of sleep...! Who knows...me and my hubby just might end up rv'n it at one point and then we'd get to see tons of shows instead of working so much every day...I guess we'll see where the good Lord takes us... Anyways...good luck with the other shows that you are waitin on a miracle for and HAPPY ST. PATTY'S to another nite owl!

Now I just can't wait for Cinco De Mayo. I hope all the toils and snares you have run into can work themselves out, especially if you just can't wait to hear the boyz play. The Rothbury fest is a must, and the only summer tour dates confirmed. I will highly recommend going for 4 dayz if you can, it is one of the Greenest, Good Time, musician, dancin, and hippy fests I've ever been to. The special guests will amaze you. Let's get on with the show! ~peace~ _____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Hi all, I'm sitting here in Ireland on Paddys day. I should be out having a few pints with my mates BUT I managed to draw the short straw in work and so I get to be on call :=). The only thing cheering me up is that I have 2 tix for the show in Washington. Its coing to be my first Dead show and I cant wait. Bringing my better half with me.mad to think just 3 yrs ago she was listening to hip hop kinda stuff. managed to bring her round via the last waltz, woodstock and festival express. Now she has a load of dead on her ipod and is excited about the concert as me(never thought id see the day) I was wondering what the rules are in relation to bringing cameras into the concert venue, Its very laid back in Ireland (in most venues). I dont want to end up having to que and then go back to the hotel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers and happy paddys day to one and all.

tonight with the Allmans. The other night the ABB played I Know You Rider with Trey from Phish. It is available on You Tube. Good stuff. I think seeing warren tonight will get me psyched to see the Dead in april. "One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused, listen to the music play"
