    way back on a tv news program called W 52nd...
    they covered the GD at Ventura 7/85. There is a clip of Jerry saying, "what the fuck is this?!?" that's what he'd say. truly, I doubt he'd care. He's the one who helped play the music and magic. that's it. I'm sure plenty of goodies will come our way. plenty already have. I have so much GD, it will take something like 6/10/73 to get me to buy more. In the meantime, go to youtube and look up the full concert of 8/4/76, with sound and visuals, AND the "short break" entertainment. :)))

    RE: "BUMMER CONT"
    Gotta' love the juvenile, angry posts with all caps...I think the countdown was to the 50th year, not necessarily to some commercial announcement. What would Jerry say? Who cares?

I have not received my Chicago tickets yet. Used USPS SASE. GDTSTOO on Wednesday said they will still be ticketing "for the next week or so." Bright spot-Santa Clara Tickets arrived Thursday. So disappointing though each day to check the mail and not have my Chicago tickets.

I hope the boys can get along and just come out blazing. I have a feeling that squabbling is happening in the camp..setlist arguing and whatnot...why don't they each get a night, pick the list and go...can't play them all

Screwed again. Tickets purchased yesterday for SC or today via TM can only be delivered standard mail with a 10 - 14 day delivery. I just called TM and there is no other option other than a refund 7 days prior to the event. If your traveling to California and don't have your tickets yet your SOL. TM says this was stipulated by the promoter (Shapiro).

My Chicago tickets from gdtstoo arrived today-regular usps. Postmark June 11. Two days to get from SF to here-just south of Yosemite NP. Not bad. Santa Clara tickets arrived Thursday. If the wind picked up where you live, it was me exhaling a sigh of relief. So stoked!

Everyone will probably have their tickets in hand by the end of next week. If not my guess is by the 22nd or 23rd. After that I would really be stressing. All good things in all good time.BTW I don't have mine yet either. Sacramento California.

Received Chicago tix yesterday normal snail mail. After comparing results with others, it seems that mail order patrons were shoved to the back of the arena to accommodate VIP and hotel packages. I guess we should have expected nothing but from Mr. Shapiro. Oh Well, the music will be wonderful!

Has anyone reading this actually received (or heard from a friend) the seats originally listed at $199 seats by GDTSTOO? In other words section 136-143 or 104-110? I am reading a lot about 100 and 200 level at the back of the stadium but not a single one about sections closer to the front.

I have $199 GDTSTOO tix. Fri is in 114. Sat and Sun are 223 and 226....opposite end of stadium from stage. 114 is really good.I have heard of a few with very similar seats.

It's been a while now since I received my Chicago Tix. 4 for all nights. The seat location really bothers me - 400's and finally just had to vent. I know this is going to sound bad but please understand I'm so happy just to be there and I'm looking forward to it. That's the truth. My gripe is that it appears that all the mail requests were placed towards the back of the stadium (and in the nose bleed seats). I wasn't expecting in front of the stage but jeez, just for once would it hurt for me to have decent seats? That being said,now I feel ashamed thinking of those that didn't get tixs.

I hear you. The thing is is that you will be a part of Grateful Dead history. Things changed without notice and its a shame but coming from somebody that tried and tried but will end up in my living room watching the shows on TV I'm enveous of you. You will get to hear LIVE the last note of the last song that will ever be played by the surviving members of a band that is so loved by so many. At that moment at the July 5th show take a mental pic and audio of it so you can have it for the rest of your life. Amen.
