Grateful Dead

Here's my question: Why is it legal now to scalp tickets? There are dozens of sites (if not hundreds) that are plain as day that have, I would venture to guess, at least a quarter of the tickets for some of these shows. Stub Hub, Admit One, Ticket Liquidator and ABC tickets, to name a few. I been on these sites and I found that for the Philly shows there is an offer for tickets in section 102 in ANY of the first 15 to 20 rows. Ticket price rages from $943 to $1,131. This is front and center- absolutely the most prime seats in the house. The person offering these tickets has to either work for Musictoday or Consider It Dan because they have more then their allotment of 6 tickets. Or they're counterfeit. According to the user agreement on the Musictoday site this is illegal (see below). Do they really have no way of tracking these people down? Come on! They're as plain as day. So, is it illegal or not illegal? Or is it illegal and not enforceable? Not enforceable would seem a likely excuse but please, spare me. Now who's to blame for the proliferation of these site. George Carlin said that its not the fault of the politicians that they're corrupt and evil and destroying this country it you fools who voted them in. (I'm paraphrasing- go here for what he really said ). If people are paying $250 to thousands for tickets to the Dead, then who are the fools. OK, I'll stop ranting because, lord knows I could go on and on. I have more questions then I have answers. Pessimistic? Very!! "Stop this train I'm leaving." Part of Musictoday's user agreement: "Third Party Resellers You agree not to sell, reproduce for sale, alter, or counterfeit the ticket for any reason, and you assume all financial and criminal liability resulting from the same, including the copying of your unique, bar-coded ticket. Any transfer, attempted transfer, resale, counterfeit, or unauthorized copy is grounds for seizure and/or cancellation without refund..."

500 posts behind to find pk tell cc not to leave!!! whats with this? i'm not even gonna bother to find out what started this. bad vibes at work, bad vibes in here, bummer! the f#@*ing DEAD are gonna tour again, whats not to be freakin happy about!! i personally won't be able to swing it, but i sure am glad for all who can!peace,out

We didn't need a promotion code for the presale you just needed to make sure you where signed up with them before purchasing tickets..Just click on general tickets from the home page and follow it though..

Does anyone know what the special promotion code is for the MSG tix left on Musictoday, what does it mean, cant wait for tour to start!!!

No more negative vibes here...It makes me think of VW buses with gun racks

Could anyone ever imagine taking this long to finally start getting excited about having tickets? This has never happened to me before, EVER! I've been in a very foul mood since Tuesday but I'm slowly coming around. Must be all the positive posts I've enjoyed reading, especially the ones about heads taking road trips to see a show. Did you see the one about being in a business meeting while on-line ordering tics? That was a good one. Anyways, we''ve been waiting for this tour for soooooo long and deep down we all really know the boys are worth the $95.

looks like there has been a spike in the number of good vibes today except for a few who will certainly work their problems out . please comeback cc because even though i havent been a member of this site long when i was looking for change rocks info before i was a member im fairly certain it was your comments and many other peoples that helped me get through that stress other people need you dont get discouraged by a few negative people they will eventually come to their senses

That's another grate thing about this site, the occasional video clip of a hula-hooping twirly girl loosing her halter top at a show ;^D. Probably not exactly what you were talking about, though. Gotta love the cool people here, too. They're pretty magical, even with clothes on. Cheers, MarkintheDark (endlessly searching for the mud-hippy of my dreams...) ********************************************* I have a sigfile! --> www.kindveggieburritos.com *********************************************

I can't get over all the negativity surrounding this HUGE event. It IS and always HAS been about the music. The remaining boys are hitting the road and I feel truly honored to witness this event. The music is timeless. The atmosphere is beautiful... Also please stop with the "boring Warren" comments. The man is a truly gifted guitar player. When John Scofield toured with PL&F, I though to myself-will this really work? Scofield is an amazing player with quite a bit of history. Talk about improvisation! Then I thought about Phil's playing and realized "how could it not work?". And let me tell you it worked out really fine. Amazing and memorable show. So in respect to Warren...I consider anyone who has to fill those really big shoes will not only be respectful, but also humbled. I'm looking forward to seeing mr. Haynes play alongside the GREAT ONES. I can't wait till April. I know it will be memorable. As the master of ceremonies once said "They're not the best at what they do, they're the only ones that do what they do." AND MAN DO THEY DO IT WELL!!!!!!!

I would like to thank all the people that unshelfishly volenteer there time to make this site happen.. This place helped alot of us in getting to the show..The majority of bands websites make you buy a membership in order to get the perk of a password for presale tickets... for those that think the band sold out they could of easily made us pay for a fan club but they opted not to and noone had to pay for the presale info.. Thanks everyone here for getting this done to the best of there ability
