    The Scene
    There has been a lot of chatter on here about the scene. We are wishing everybody a great and safe tour. A couple of weeks ago, this site was talking about what happened at the recent Phish shows. Please if your not really "into" The Dead, please RESPECT OUR SCENE. If (you) don't, (and you know who you are), this will never happen again. The experience should be remembered for all the great things that are about to happen, not the cpl of idiots that could bring it all down.........Thank You........Fellow DeadHeads

    I need a miracle
    Hey all, The kindness of a friend has blessed me with a car to drive from CT to Greensboro, but I do not know what me and my brother are going to do for tix. I am just a wanderer and I wandered back to my little piece of ground in my hometown(I know wrong band, but Floyd is sick too) and I was able to procure a car. A miracle would be much appreciated for this Head and his brother to be able to get into the Greensboro concert. I have been looking forward to it since I was in California and I heard the tour announcment. If I could be dancing in the streets with yall in Greensboro, I would be truely Grateful. Any stranger that wants to stop n shake my hand, and possible miracle a couple tix would be so appreciated. Until the 4 winds may safely blow u home Dan

Heck I just might have to volunteer for Rothbury this year....let me tell you it's one of the best! And I might just have to tour the whole shabang this year. Yet everytime I do this, I feel the lull period just before the tour...Damn I have no more money left! Oh well, maybe I'll go sell some Veggie Burritos and Gooey Goo Balls in downtown Naperville, IL Just kidding! That would be a joke, I tried this experiment (of non-deadshow vending) once in college at the Super Bowl...didn't work out so hot. But hey at least I'm enjoying the ride! _____________________________________________ Will you come with me?

Check out the home page. Rothbury is a 4 day camping festival with Bob Dylan and The Dead (There only summer appearance thus far scheduled) among others, at Rothbury, Michigan over the July 4th weekend. Check out the dead.net homepage for links to the Rothbury web page. It is promised to be "sustainable camping" but it is anything but (see my post two pages ago).

Ticket orders which include the April 12th show will ship at the end of the week of March 23rd.Once these orders ship, the rest of the tour will ship shortly thereafter. Therefore, ticket orders with shows in May will receive their tickets earlier than our regular 2 week window. Once tickets ship you will receive an email confirmation of your shipment along with the tracking number for your order. NOTE: IF YOU HAVE MOVED or would like to have your tickets shipped to another address, changes to addresses can only be made prior to the receipt of the e-mail notice of shipping by replying to this e-mail immediately with the new shipping information.

When I first came on here, I posted a somewhat cynical comment about this "mail order" thing that the Dead has been doing for years. I may have said something like "its for people without credit cards". I am an avid music goer and control freak when it comes to tickets. There's no good seat I can't obtain. Except for this one. Anyway, I'm glad someone politely came on this message board and humbled me, that gdstoo.com has been a tradition for years among followers of the Grateful Dead. I took that advice and skipped the online presale, decorated my letter for a day, made sure my money order was perfect and handed it to my local mailwoman. All I can say is that this is a great day. The tickets arrived for the Denver show and they are beyond belief. I love this band and what gdstoo.com is doing. Next thank you note will be directly to them. I may even send a "real" letter. See everyone in Denver!

Just my opinion but, the reason they make us wait so long is because they don't want the scalpers to scalp.... Think about it......Moye-

This is a huge problem too. Scalpers get their hands on great seats early on and then have months to make their best deals with them. However, this is made more difficult for them when they can't promise to the buyer that the seats they're selling are actually in hand at the time of the transaction. It may be a bit nerve-wracking to normal consumers like us, but this policy has been established with us in mind. A couple of years ago, I contacted the Boston Red Sox Web site after I was shut out during their annual "Sox Pax" ticket sale in December. Four-game packages for 32 games were up for sale on their site, complete with the virtual waiting room that we saw during the pre-sale for Dead tix this year. I'd gotten into the system, placed my order and had been kicked out before I could complete the purchase. I explained all of this in my email and asked if the folks at redsox.com would email me when the rest of the games went on sale. Instead, I got an email from the team's front office, asking me to call them back, which I did. The guy at the other end of the conversation apologized for the inconvenience and asked me what games I wanted tickets for and where I wanted to sit. I protested that the games I wanted to go to were all sold out, but he explained that the Red Sox have some of their staff people monitor eBay during the Sox Pax sale, to see if their tickets come up for sale there on the same day. If they do, the Red Sox cancel the sale! So, I was able to buy four seats to four games in '07, right behind home plate! Sometimes, just sometimes, the system works for us.

Communication is key - if they would state up front that they want to hold on to the tickets until the last second to avoid scalpers then I am totally cool with that. But when musictoday doesn't say anything, then we are left to speculate and that leads to rumors and to frustration etc.... "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me.

I got the email too. I had managed to opt out of the default 2nd-day UPS shipping to the cheaper USPS shipping...without timing out the transaction. Given the way the presale went, the gods were smiling on THAT move. So MusicToday gave me the tracking number and a link to UPS! Which showed my tracking number to be invalid. Jumped onto the USPS website, used it there, and low and behold, left Charlottesville VA last night. I should have it by Saturday, since I'm just a state away in NC..right? Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile! See y'all at the show!

This is all great news. A lot has been written here about the ticket buying process becoming too complicated. Part of that is due to how sophisticated scalpers have become. The demand for tickets has grown too, but the older, classic acts tour fewer and fewer days a year, which really squeezes the market as well. I've bought tickets from MusicToday in the past and they've always come through. You just have to wait a bit - but they get to you. "When it comes to humility, I'm the greatest!" - Bullwinkle Moose

I received my Albany tickets the other day from GDTS TOO and was pleasantly surprised to see, what I believe to be, front row seats. They are FLR 3, Row A. According to seating chart they looked great. Rock on.

Phil, Bobby and Warren are scheduled to appear on the ABC TV show, The View on Monday, where they're expected to play at least one tune. I'm not clear as to whether this broadcast will be truly live, or whether it was taped on an earlier date. What information I've been able to glean though indicates that this will be a live broadcast from NYC on Monday AM. The View is taped live at 11AM (East Coast Time), Mon-Thurs.

What a great way to show 'fan appreciation'...sure wish I could get to NY (from Chicago) by Monday, or I would've entered. It's too bad that with all the money-hungry scalpers out there, they can only pull this sort of thing off on VERY short notice. If you don't live in NY, ya gotta be ready to fly fast! For those of you lucky enough to win tix- Have a great time!!
