    The Band with the Heart of Gold
    Thank you Bobby, Mickey, Billy and Phil for doing these shows. Thank you once again in being consistent in caring about your fans. Thank you for doing extra shows and taking the time out of your busy lives to plan, for the new shows, based on the new information about demand. Thank you for caring for us and loving us for 50 years. Thank you for so much caring it is written in the letter for those who do not understand the depth of your love and commitment to us.Thank you for not giving up when your brothers left us way too soon, putting the heartaches aside and carrying on. Thank you for the music you have given us for 50 years. Thank you for working so hard to send out joy to the world. Thank you for researching how to keep the whole thing safe time and again so there never is an issue with being safe at the concerts, thank you for being politically active, working for the greater good, creating things that will put others in a better place. Thank you for your donations over the years, thank you for hiring attorneys to fight for things that are unjust. Thank you for stepping up stopping shows and saying hey it is too tight up here in the front ya all got to take a step back, Now on the count of three everybody take a step back ready one two three take a step back that is it. again now one two three... thank you for moving the concert to a different venue when there were too many dead heads and not enough tickets. Thank you for playing for free for so many years, thank you for not quiting when people stole your face right off your head a time or two, thank you for putting on expensive concerts and making virtually nothing time and again. There are no words. The great thing about my discovery that I am not the only dead head left out there is that rather than mope around because my band is like ending, and I am like broken hearted forever is that now I go around having panic attacks just like the good ole days, how am I gonna get tickets for Santa Clara? How am I gonna get tickets for my friends who want to go to Ci town I am as anxious as a child waiting for santa to come down the chimney. Will I get a ticket? oh my gosh, I have to go, I have to go, I just have to go because I love you so. So the final big thank you is for taking me back to feeling like that young child again and so excited about these events. WE are all like going crazy, we got tickets we did not get tickets, it takes away the heart ache of the red roses that in a younger garden grow.

    Updates
    Thanks for the continued updates, D.W.C. We are still ticketless for Chicago. After weighing the options, the SC shows just aren't an option for my wife and I. We are holding on to our hotel room for 7/4 and 7/5, and I hope to score reasonable tickets for at least one of the nights prior to heading to Illinois. I am so happy for you West Coast Heads. You deserved a close show all along, and wisdom within the band apparently prevailed. Someday, I would like one or more of the band to state whether or not they ever considered a mini-tour. It definitely looks like Ebay forced many sellers to pull their listings. It would be best for all parties (ticketless Heads and scalpers alike !!) if Ticketmaster and GDSToo distributed the tickets sooner rather than later in June. Peace, and see you in 83 days.

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

Hello folks, have many of you received your tix for the May 27th show already? Mine have not arrived yet, Thanks, Dave

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.
