    Tiny Violins
    Hah, 75% of you sound like 12yr olds. Waaa Waaaa. Let me break out my tiny violin for you. All this back in the day $hit about $12 tickets and selling out. Go cry in your yurts folks. This is something I have been preparing for a long time to see and truly $100 per ticket is a steal. (Some of you need to leave the commune more often and see current prices on things) After damn near breaking my computer from frustration I got row 1 in denver for me and my crew. You see, this matters enough to me that I will make room for this by clearing out other costs somewhere else. Many of those complaining will easily spend $100-$300 on beer or smoke or something else between now and the tour so your priorities are where their at and others are going to make it happen. As for selling out, the "boy's" are old men now and all costs have risen so not only is the expense more but this may very well be the last hurrah. All I can say is this is well worth it and to those of you going to denver, "Lets Rage Homies!"

    I got two Loge tickets
    I got two Loge tickets (Section 103) for Albany. I've booked the hotel too. Nothing left except to wait for April to roll around. "When it comes to humility, I'm the greatest!" - Bullwinkle Moose

    Vendor Abyssmal - I'm going to Shoreline!
    That vendor sucked sucked sucked. I build servers and the tech to run them. There is no way in the world people should have had that many problems. I was planning an east coast tour from albany through msg. I had floor for the lead up week and 334 for msg and it timed everything out but the msg because the site was so slow. A complete disappointment. So if you need 4 tix together at msg pm me. I'll sell them to site members for what I'm paying. I'll even pay to ship them to you. Wish I could miracle these but at $100/ticket I just can't do it. I will give preference to elders and those taking their kids for a shared show. Keep it in the family. I did get 4 lawn tix for shoreline and that makes me smile. The Dead need to be seen in the light of day anyway and I'm on the West Coast and Shoreline was built for the Dead. I would reiterate that these ticket prices were outrageous and the internet presale vendor was absolutely terrible. Sorry guys, I think this has taken a strange turn that I'm not going to follow. The VIP tickets are an insult to Heads. The fans made the dead. Seems like you've left us behind. Shoreline will be my last show.

    As Allison & I were ordering (DC, Charlottesville, Albany) here in cold, flat Holland, the door bell rang. It's never anyone good and I don't speak much Dutch after 12 years here expat. But THIS time, as entering card info, it was 2 HEADS who are moving in down 3 from me. She only speaks English, too. Phew. I am TIRED. Hotels? Air? Magick, for sure.

    Buffalo & Albany
    the storyteller makes no choice... I'm supposed to meet some buddies tonight to try and get 4 tix together for Buffalo and Albany. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I'm wondering. Just heard from my buddy that he could only get a single ticket for MSG. Anyone know the score at Buffalo and Albany? Tix still avail? In multiples? Also wondering if anyone knows how many tix they're holding back for regular sales (as opposed to pre-sales).

    Oh my
    I had already good seats to MSG. Then there was not delivery option outside usa or canada and I couldnt finish my order. When I finally found a friend of a friend living in usa whose address i could use the tickets were gone. I was timed out. Then no tickets left. That was it. It was so close. Think of it: no delivery outside usa. No trip to US for us then.

    I got through to the ticket order page for MSG at 12:15 (EST), ordered ONE floor seat and it said nothing remained! So I tried 100 level and it said the same thing--no tickets available!

    You can always do mail order thru www.gdtstoo.com
    If you struck out on the internet, do the mail order thing with a postmark today. follw the instructions precisely. As a suggestion to dead.net and musictoday.com, can you sell tickets on successive/consecutive days for the shows as they occur? Selling tickets to all shows on one day has been a cluster.

    Greensboro show will be End Stage layout.
    The Greensboro NC show APR 12, 2009 will be "End Stage" layout. http://www.greensborocoliseum.com/images/full_size_seating_charts/arena… I already sent this to the dead.net Feedback asking that they try to add this info for each location on the tour. The seating plan for Greensboro was not mentioned anywhere on this site nor the pre-sales vendor site. I tracked it down via http://www.tickets-for-events.com/ResultsTicket.aspx?evtid=987016&event… and http://tickettransaction.com/VenueInformation.aspx?VenueID=274&EventID=… They state they will be using the End Stage layout, which you can access here http://www.greensborocoliseum.com/seating_coliseum.cfm and http://www.greensborocoliseum.com/images/full_size_seating_charts/arena… -- Habeas data.

First, let me say that no one can ever replace Jerry. Not even close, IMHO. That being said Warren is a monster. Last night was the first time I saw him play, and I think he will be great with the Dead. The Allman's even closed the second set with a kickin' jam of The Other One. Made me feel right at home.

Nice! Hey now how do you import youtube vids like that? I tried to put one in a post in dead.net and all it did was paste the web link to youtube... Just wondering how you get the whole video like that? "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"

I think it's way cool to have green, sustainable camping at a four day event, but after looking at the VIP packages I'd have to say that the energy footprint for this festival is going to be a monster. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to lay our the $3400 for a safari tent with all the furnishings and electricity, air-conditioned bathrooms and showers and trucked in ice as well as the $118 vig for "shipping & handling" charges. I just wouldn't want anyone to think it was green, sustainable camping. Conspicuous consumption is just so retro these days, what with Feed The Children leading convoys of food into cities and all.... Wouldn't you just love to hire two white-jacketed eunuch nubians with black linen towels over their arms and say "Blend us up two more top-shelf ritas and bring us the mirror after you finish slicing & dicing. Chop-chop boys!"

This from Wikipedia: On April 4, 1996, Bob Weir and Deborah Koons spread half of Garcia's cremated ashes in the Ganges River in India, a site sacred to the Hindus. Then, according to Garcia's last wishes, the other half of his ashes were poured into the San Francisco Bay. Deborah Koons disallowed one of Garcia's ex-wives, Carolyn "Mountain Girl" Garcia, from attending the spreading of the ashes. Phil writes in Searching for the Sound that they made it under the Golden Gate to a point where the captain said the ashes would be carried out to sea. As they poured the ashes over the side of the vessel some of the ashes were blown back against the hull. Bobby leaned over with a cloth napkin and "scrubbed poor Jerry off the hull". Sometime later Phils wife Jill was weeding a garlic patch when she reached into her pocket and found the napkin Bobby had used. She offered a quick prayer and buried the napkin there in the field. May he rest in peace. We miss ya Jerry.

I was blown away the other night at the Allman Bros, Beacon Theater, NYC. I have a buddy on the inside who is always a reliable source but when he told me earlier in the week that Eric Clapton was going to show up I didn't believe. Sure enough, Clapton came out and jammed the whole second set. My bud also told me that Bobby and Phil are jamming with the Allmans closing night Mar 28. For all the lucky ones, just a little taste what what we're going to get on the tour. Always believe. If you get confused Listen to the music play "Oh if a man tried To take his time on earth And prove before he died What one man's life could be worth I wonder what would happen To this world."

Just received tickets from gdtstoo for the Charlottesville show and they are floor seats - wahoooo. Although I have not received tickets from the online pre-sale for the same show; called to check on them and MusicToday said they should be sent out seven to ten days before the show. Wow- talk about cutting it close. I have learned my lesson and will stick with gdtstoo and skip the "new" way to purchase tickets.

For presale tix? Man, what's the hurry? Make them will-call and I'll at least have some degree of confidence that we'll see them. Let's see, 7-10 days before the show I'm 900 miles away from my mailbox, and will stay that way until 3 days before Greensboro. I'm going to leave home before having tix in hand? First-in, last out. That's the way to run a business!

I'm sure we all will get our tickets in time, it's just a bit shady in my opinion and it doesn't make much sense. Unless they have to print every ticket by hand, using rare paper from deep in the rain forest, and special ink imported from the orient and then use carrier pigeons to deliver them all ... yeah yeah that's it! No wonder why its taking so long... :-) "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"
