    FTW Story So glad they made it....
    The ladies are in the City of Wind the Weather Report stated that the weather is going to be almost exactly perfect, & it is beautiful indeed, now I'd like to say that the gals journey was a long strange trip however it was a Sentimental Journey fueled by memories of the olden days when being a Deadhead was a way of life, once arriving in Chicago all 3 discovered that parking was almost near impossible so they parked about 10 blocks away from the venue & proceeded to walk where they encountered many people, some with tickets, some without, some searching for a miracle & some who were there just to see what strange circus has come to town. Chi Town is buzzing with the anticipation of our nations birthday as well as hosting the world's GRATEST carnival, for The Grateful Dead has come to town. The very first thing they encounter is the GD Merch bus chock full of 50th Anniversary trinkets, sort of like a souvenir shop on wheels, after spending time & a rather large sum of Money Money the ladies head out to another Shakedown Street which seem to be all over the place instead of shopping they head to a park where they encounter a Brown Eyed Woman who is looking for reds, vitamin C & cocaine they say they do not know anyone who is holding anything, they proceed to tell her that maybe she should stop by the Wharf Rat tent & perhaps listen to what's being said instead of acting on an ugly, unbreakable chain of destruction, after leaving her they meet a young man named Tennessee Jed who's singing the Cumberland Blues because he can't find his Lindy Lou & she has the Roses for Scarlet Begonia. Althea is sitting on a park bench talking to Black Peter who with Jack Straw is grooving to the sounds of 8/4/76 on an old boom box, meanwhile, Bertha & Cassidy are grooving to a story being told by a Lost Sailor & his sidekick Saint of Circumstance about how in the olden days this scene took place in every city the good ole Grateful Dead played in, they listen to the Birdsong coming from the trees but alas the ladies must depart as the make there way to the "Field of Dreams". There are Days Between when the Deal just doesn't go down Althea wanted this hand made GD 50th tapestry but the artist said to her "sorry NOT FOR SALE" so she said Comes A Time when I got to keep on movin on, now they're really Truckin to Soldier Field to listen to the Greatest Story Ever Told they just encountered Dear Mr. Fantasy who is Waving That Flag while listening to US Blues. Well they're finally here singing songs of praise to let the Good Times Roll they talk to the Estimated Prophet who tells them they open with Help>Slip>Frank & encore with Attics, well He's Gone time to head in & encounter many kind people as we are all our own to live, love & listen to the WORLD'S greatest band, The Grateful Dead. And may EVERYONE who is attending OR not attending have a GRATE time this July 4th weekend I will post my dream setlist on Sunday BEFORE show time. HAPPY 50th Anniversary GRATEFUL DEAD!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR A REAL GOOD TIME Peace

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.
