    Deadicated...
    No offense, but I can't believe u guys moaning about an 8 hour drive to get to a show etc...what about those of us overseas? Man, I used to hitch across the country at the drop of a hat to see the boys, with NO money in my pocket. I always found a way! I even traveled all the way from the south of New Zealand once just to get to do Spring Tour (surely a Deadhead record) arriving around midnight the night before with no idea of where I'd stay, just heading to the lot and seeing what happened. I've even had to be in the States illegally to see shows as I got deported years ago for swinging on the lot. This is what being Deadicated really means! You guys are so lucky, I'm happy for u all, but my heart is breaking at the same time. I don't think I can handle the stress of coming into the States illegally again to see the boys even though I know I'd see a lot of old friends. My best friends, the best u could ever wish for. My family. But with the way the U.S. is like a police state these days the chances of getting caught and put in jail for a year or two just for entering illegally is probably too much for me. Please come to Europe guys... Could everyone PLEASE, PLEASE post asking the guys to tour Europe this year!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Are you kind?"

    What about a KC or St Louis show? I live in Kansas and will have to drive at least 8 hours as well as find/pay for lodging and burn vacation time from work. Is there anything that can be done? I'd be willing to help mount a campaign to request a show in at least one more midwest city, PLEASE!

    Just gotta raise the funds somehow and make the trek to Cali. If there is no summer tour, that means no chance of them hitting Willie Nelson's Picnic here in Texas. But I've done my grieving for Jerry and loved both Obama shows so I am ready to catch them for the first time since the late 80's. It'll be a nice way to see friends and family in Cali. What new adventures are waiting to be had? I just hope the shows don't sell out in Jan. Although this won't be as big as Phish (who I have yet to really take a liking to), I have a feeling people are jonesing for more Dead.

hey man you and i are in same spot, i got rejected for MSG mailorder adn i think they put us in this thing as a consolation prize. It is weird to send out notice that we are in adn then not follow up. I'm hesitant to send an email since they say they dont want that. i guess its almost a miracle eh? who knows maybe tomorrow morning something good will come in the old email.

ok I know folks have been careful about not revealing contents of the message sent, and with good reason I can see already. but this needs to be shared.. last thing I wanna see is a riot at the door of the show: The person accompanying them must be the same individual whose name is provided upon entering the ticket giveaway and this person must also provide a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to enter. now maybe they will be lax, but I wouldn't bet an expensive last second airline ticket on it.

First, ratdog.org, philzone.net, and dead.net each seem to have their own allotment of tickets. From what I have read, the first venue capacity is about 400, blender at gramercy around 500 and roseland about 3,000. Dead.net has a certain allotment of tickets, the 1000 or so to roseland is not the only tickets. Ratdog.org and phils site also have tickets. There also seems to be some confusion in regard to the emails sent out. According to the email sent by ratdog.org, you do not need to reply or confirm that you accept the tickets. The email is the only thing you have to get your tickets. I read someone say that the email from dead.net needed to be conirmed then you get a second email which is used to get the tickets. The ratdog.org email was only one time. In regard to people trying to get "extras" there is none. The only people that will get in these shows have to have the email and the winner and guest listed are the only people admitted. You can not bring anyone else. This is to avoid people selling tickets, if they let u change the name of the guest u listed than u can theoretically sell the ticket and give the spot to the highest bidder. So, if your name is not listed on an email from dead.net, ratdog.org or phils site, you are not going to get in. It clearly states on the complete rules page at http://www.dead.net/official-rules that only the people listed in the email will be admitted and there will be no exceptions. I suggest that everyone look over the official rules: http://www.dead.net/official-rules

I am in the same boat you two are in. I did the mail in on the first day as soon as the post office opened for MSG and I got my MO mail back to me with an apology. I accepted that. I know the supply was not as big as the demand. When I received the e-mail "The Dead 3/30/09 Roseland Ballroom - you've been selected" I too thought it was a consolation for not having received my mail-in tickets but it turned out to be a sweepstakes. I entered and did not hear back from GDTS. OUCH! I now feel as if they dangled a carrot in my face by the way it was worded and find the only thing I had been selected for was to be entered into their sweepstakes for a chance to go to the show. I guess I was not selected after all.

Has anyone received the "confirmation email" from dead.net for the Roseland show tomorrow? I recieved a winning notification email Friday, returned it as instructed, but have yet to receive the confirmation email that was supposed to follow... freaking out!!!

If you received a congratulatory email from Dead.net with your name on it - that IS your ticket (along with photo ID). There's not a second email that you need to receive. Here's an excerpt from the email... "No tickets will be mailed out. You must print out THIS email and provide it for entrance to the event. Once at the venue all concert goers will be required to provide photo identification along with a copy of the email voucher which will be checked against our record of your confirmation." It also says... "Each ORIGINAL winner must provide THIS physical confirmation email, and a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to gain entrance to the show. The person accompanying them must be the same individual whose name is provided upon entering the ticket giveaway and this person must also provide a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to enter." Hope that helps.

My e-mail specifically states: "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event." I never received a Confirmation vouched....did anyone receive that from GDTS? A simple yes or no will suffice. Thanks

I got that first email too. I'm assuming without any concrete email with my name on it, I'm shit out of luck. It makes me feel like any cool element of this whole scene is finally done. Been seeing shows since 1980 and have never felt this animosity towards GD Tickets. People have real life concerns to take care of day to day. You'd think they'd get their act on the same page as the rest of us.

thats a bummer. strange way to word the email if its only a "chance to win" I just reread the email and it does say Notification. Winners will be notified by electronic mail within twenty-four (24) hours prior to the shows. This electronic mail message is sometimes referred to herein as the "E-Mail Prize Notification". Winners will not receive any further confirmation from Sponsor that they have been selected as a Prize winner other than the E-Mail Prize Notification. If you do not receive an E-Mail Prize Notification, then you were not selected as a Prize winner. so perhaps notifications have not been sentyet? or am i really reaching at this point. LOL

sange post above did shed some light on the subject that there were more than just the dead.net drawing, from what I can tell ratdog.org and phillesh.net followed the same method as dead.net, you get a winning email notification and that is your ticket.. all are clear on the guest policy, not gonna be able to give it to someone else. it is the GDTS one that is fubar'd, looks like they did things differently and have left this mass confusion in their wake.. inspite of the request not to call or email I think it is justified, they need to clarify!

At least they could send out an e-mail saying "Sorry you were not selected" so we could have closure on this issue. I hate being strung along. First with not knowing for weeks with the mail-in until I got my money order back and now this. I have been glued to my computer for two days now.

No...Dead.net did NOT say they would send a follow up email.  The email from Dead.net that went to winners included the winner's and guest names at the top and directions that say THIS is the email to bring to the show.

It seems the majority of people, like myself, who got the weird reply asking for more information needed, did in fact get this from Dead.net. My email clearly states "Hello, congrats, etc...". But then goes on to clearly state that a follow up email will come and that email will serve as the ticket. I never got that follow up email and the one email I did get doesn't have my name on it. So, what do I do? Go to the Roseland Ballroom with an email printed out with just my email address on it? Again, what a drag.

Hi ceo3west-

I don't think that was sent by Dead.net.  It doesn'tmatch the language I'm seeing.

I'm curious, who is listed in the FROM line?  In other words, what's the email address of the sender?

Thanks

pretty clear the e-mail confirmation is all you get, I got mine from ratdog.org, they are even more confusing. They say you AND your guest must be present to get in, the official rules only talk about the winner, obviously you can't sub one guest for another, but the question is does a winner who's guest doesn't make it still get in. I think they do

This is the email I got. The top portion clearly does not sound like a sweepstakes entry. I took it that I had won. I figured the bottom portion of the email related to the initial entry into the sweepstakes from 6-9pm on Friday. When I get an email stating "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event", I take it to mean "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event".

Further evidence that the latter part of the email related to the sweepstake entry on Friday from 6-9 is because this is what the entry form asked for, which is in the fine print of your email: Entrant's First Name Entrant's Last Name Entrant's Email address First Name of Entrant's Guest Last Name of Entrant's Guest

I am a winner for Roseland and I did not see any place on my entry form to enter in the name of a guest. My winning email clearly states that "I have been selected to receive (2) tickets" but I do then also see on the email that it says, "The person accompanying them must be the same individual whose name is provided upon entering the ticket giveaway and this person must also provide a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to enter." And, my winning email has my name as BOTH the Winner and the Guest! Myself (Winner) and my guest are driving from very far tomorrow for the show, so we hope to get some clarity on this here in the next 12 hours before we hit the road! Boy this is confusing!!! I am praying that this is like how they did it when Phish played at the Filmore and you simply need to show up at the door with your guest (whoever it is) and if your name is on the list (as the winner) for 2 tickets it gets you both in. If someone from Dead.net gets this with any affirmation or clarity on this you can email me a response directly at antonio@dailypassion.com See you on the dance floor! (^_^)

Congrats! Hope to see you there! One other thing that occurred to me. The band didn't have to give ANY free shows. Given that the combined capacity of these three venues is less than 1/6 of MSG I am truly thanking my (for once) lucky stars that I'm in. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

With my "Ratdog.org " concert at Roseland confermation letter it states that I have to have my guest along ,well she cannot get off work, can anyone out there tell me if the guest MUST be present or can the winner (s) go alone ? I have a 1250 mile trip for this and really don't want to get burned just because my date can't go . Any Help ?

I hear you loud and clear. I sent an email to them at 11:00PM. I wasn't rude, mind you. I just kind of spelled out the situation. Who knows if they even read those emails. I assumed it went on deaf ears and it was really just for my piece of mind. I can only hope that maybe they really are dragging their ass getting the confirm emails back to folks and each and every one of us who can, will be there tonight checking this out.

You can call me a wa-mbulance if you so desire. I think it cruel to make fans wait for a respose all this time. "If you plant Ice your gonna harvest wind" I hope your right. Have a safe trip~
