    Fare Thee Well shows
    I'm a little puzzled about these Chicago shows. I've been following the Dead and going to shows since the 70s. I rarely wasn't able to find SOME reasonable way to get into a show, but like many, I mail-ordered and lost in Chicago. So what are the options now? Get scalped and pay $1200+ per show to get in ...or... hope for a miracle? This doesn't seem like the way the Dead would want to wrap things up, having so many loyal followers getting shut out. I know they're getting old and don't blame them if they wish or need to retire. It's just that we went from a fairly accessible and great-to-hear Further band to this very LAST CHANCE series of three Dead shows that sold-out in a heart beat. I can deal with missing them in Chicago if Further will be touring again. If not, then paying over a grand to get into to at least one of the Chicago shows is probably worth it. These ARE the last shows, right? No more Further even? How about Rat Dog? Did I read that Phil said he's done performing or touring after Chicago?

    Two 50th or Dear Jerry Tickets
    Was shut out on both mail order and online. Looking for two tickets for the 3rd or 4th for the 50th and/or two for Dear Jerry. Willing to pay the standard fees above face value. Scalpers are such a drag. I refuse to pay them any money. Just called a CL guy who has 9 lawn tickets for Dear Jerry and wants $150ea. Question, how is it that he has 9 tickets when you can only buy 4. And he said "Oh, I think I only have 9 left". How many did he start out with? I had five computers loged in on ticketfly and my little guys only walked half the way before they sold out. Hate to miss either of these events. Hopefully there are still some Kind people out there. Back in the day I always sold my extras at face value. I even gave a ticket away in the parking lot at Buckeye Lake, either 93' or 94. Mircles do happen everyday! Needing one now. Peace, Enlightenment and Scouting

    Still hoping
    I haven't been able to see The Dead since 1986 and my husband has never been to a concert, let alone the whole Dead experience. We'd prefer handicapped seating (I have multiple sclerosis) but can do regular seating. We'd prefer Sunday but will do whatever we need to do in order to go on any day. Can't afford to pay much over face value, which seems to be the obstacle we're unable to overcome. Can't believe that the scalpers even bought out all the handicapped tickets in a matter of minutes. Thanks, Sue

    Does anyone have two lawn seats they are willing to sell me? I tried and I tried but no luck today. Last time I saw the boys was May 27 - 28, 1995, Sam Boyd Silvewr Bowl in Las Vegas. Miracles do happen!

    Like others, seeking one last miracle. Face value is a miracle for this one. If someone gets a line, or a method to reasonably priced tickets, PM me. Have friends going to Chicago who got MOs and would love to join them. Haven't seen them in many moons.

Hey y'all, trying to hunt down 3 seats together for both Philly shows. Already paying for flights and hotel rooms, so can't really afford scalper prices for tix. I'm hoping everyone will hold off buying tix from the scalpers so they'll have no choice but to drop their prices, but in the event that doesn't happen, I thought I'd check in with you kind folks. Tix are still available from the venue, but they suck royally - not spending all this money to sit in the rafters with distorted sound or behind the stage where I can't see! If anybody has tix they're willing to sell, please let me know. Really appreciate it!

did anyone get tix from the band or thru the venue that are in the front 10 or 15 rows? or were all the tix for the "premium" seats passed onto the consider it dan people? just wondering if anyone knows how this is working, cuz it looks like dan and/or the scalpers have all the premium seats and are charging whopping loads of money for them (the first 10 rows for both the philly shows are currently priced between $400 and $800 each). did any of the kind people get awesome seats at face value?

I had 3rd and 5th rows center for the Spectrum shows in my shopping cart on the day of presale..... but timed out and lost those seats when the damn billing wouldn't process. Was a MAJOR bummer. ended up in Section 107....back part of the floor both nights. So yes, I do think some of those seats were available for us during the presale..... Don't have those yet in hand....but do have my Charlottesville as of TODAY! Raymond

thanks raymond for the info. really appreciate it. sorry that happened to you. i had the exact same thing happen to me last year with tix thru ticketmaster, so i've been there. in fact, it was that experience that has made me so cynical about the way tix are being sold these days (which is what drove me to ask (and assume the worst)). but on the sunny side, you do still have floor seats for philly!!! your fun will runneth over!!!

I have an unusual trade request and I certainly hope it's not considered scalping. It breaks down like this. Thanks to GDTSTOO, I have 2 extra, Front Row (Section 3 Row A Seats 1&2) for the Albany 4/17 show. These are front row in the right corner!!!! My 3 tix for MSG are horrible 300 behind the stage. I would be willing to trade these 2 front row Albany for 3 decent MSG tix anywhere lower level or floor, at least in front of the stage. The wife said to sell them for profit and try to buy new MSG tix. I told her that was bad JuJu and that I would try to work out a trade. All tix are in hand. If anyone is interested in discussing this further, email me @ pmk1969@aol.com. Have a great tour!!! I can Tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines!

So I didn't think I could make any shows this time around but now I'm back on the bus and looking for a single excellent seat for each Philly show. I'm willing to pay extra as long as the $ goes to offset your great time and not line the pockets of some scalper.. Help if you can, thanks! It's more than just Ashes when your dreams come true!

Hi, I am looking for a kind soul in NYC to sell me 3 tix for the 042509 MSG DEAD show for $200 total. I realize this is CRAZY-BELOW the price on the tix. To compensate for this I am offering you a FREE 3 NIGHT stay in San Francisco. I have a lovely studio apt located 3 blocks from the Powell Cable Car turnaround and would love to share my space w/ you for free. Ideally you are a "Wharfrat" (A sober Dead-Head), because I am sober and would prefer to not have folks loaded, or getting loaded around me and my space. SHORELINE May 10th, SHORELINE May 14th, and you've got a free place, heck, I'll let ya stay at my place from the 9th till the 15th!! (Shoreline stay ONLY offered for Wharfrats, and I pay only $150 for the 3 tix) If this works for us, I have a relative in Manhattan that will pick up the tix and pay you, Of course, I am sure we will speak prior. search words to pull up my post quicker: SF NYC MSG Mountain View CA 05/10/09 05/14/09 051009 051409 0510 0514 042409 0424 04/24/09 04/24 $200 $150
