    Dynamic pricing... really? How nice
    Yikes.. The Official Platinum seats dynamic pricing thing is really rude. Dynamic pricing.. got to love it. Set a fixed tier of prices for your tickets!! Fight scalping by fighting scalping, not by becoming scalpers. Lottery for example.. remember Santa Clara, fans got tickets, secondary market was controlled by fans, tickets went for face value. Do not claim free market on this tactic... Free markets are transparent. How many of these platinum seats are being bought? For how much? Only you know that that is not fair. In a free market we would know as well as you what prices are being paid. The Amex presale is just a way to gauge demand so you can set your price. That feels predatory to me because it is. The ticket counter should be a place where all are equal, not an auction where the price changes moment by moment. The game being played this week is to see who bites at what price. I wish it was scalpers who were playing this cruel game with us, but it is the band themselves. I am sure plenty of New Yorkers are hungry for a show and I respect that. But the less of us who pay $700 today the same tickets will be at $500 tomorrow, and $400 on Thursday. The general idea of dynamic pricing is bad enough. But add the big data piece to it and it gets really gross. Ticketmaster for example knows who I am, they certainly know what shows I have gone to and what I have paid. They know where I live and can approximate my income based on that. They may have other data points as well, depending on how much it matters to them. I am using an amex card, have to, amex knows my income even better than just having an address. Perhaps the algorithm is something like.. Amex shows him with income of x, offer him tickets at price Y + 30 percent. How would I know what price others see ? I have enough experience to know a small amount of what they know. They know what you earn, they know what you have bought, particularly tickets, like any good scammer choosing a mark, they do their research. Our friends in the band have decided to go along with this dynamic pricing as a way to fight scalping, really there are other ways to fight evil without becoming evil. A fun game would be to see what type prices they offer. Me right now I see.. For Saturday Night Sec 118 7 19 - 20 2 US $650.00 Anyone else seeing higher or lower than that ? There is a chance that it is just strictly start high, move lower based on time approach. -- Tom

    @rgergelis
    I agree, I was able to get Lock'n tickets no problem. I guess scalpers do not mess with festivals as much? I was foolish to think it would be easy. They added a second show. I will be in NYC anyhow for a phil show on Friday, if prices get reasonable I may grab some tickets. It has been a good year, I am not going to let one show bother me too much. Yeow !!!! -- Tom

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.

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.
