    Funny story - With all of the instructions for mail order it seems pretty complex but it's really not. They lay it out for you very well in the instructions. But... ...when I mailed away for two tour books for the '87 tour I was meticulous about it and sent it away. Waited...waited..waited..and waited some more. Until finally it was getting very close to the date for the first show and I started to panic. I think I called GDTS and they said it was sent. I called the Post Office and they had something with my name on it that they were JUST about to "Return to Sender" (back then it was in San Rafael). AHHHHHH - Nooooo!!! Hold on to them I'll be right there. Went to the Post Office and rescued my precious package and inspected it carefully. On my SASE I put 45 for the street number. Only problem was that we lived at 47. Kids - some words of advice...have a smoke AFTER you complete the order, NOT before. And maybe have someone double-check it for you! See you all in Chicago!!

    Yeah, I get what you're saying - Alpine would be MUCH better. I guess they are playing Soldier Field not only because it is a center spot in the country but because that is the last place they played with Garcia in '95. As you say, go with the flow. We are all very glad the Boys are doing this but would LOVE if the played an East Coast and West Coast location as well. It is such a "thing" that we just can't get enough. Never could... Now,,,should I draw up my divorce papers before or after the shows?? Leaving the wife and kids on the beach while I fly to Chicago for 4 days won't go over too well! Oh well...

    Mail order question
    Hi folks. First time posting here, although if you're on the Lockn' forum at all, you may know me from there. Anyhoo, considering that secondary ticket resellers are already listing nosebleeds that they don't even HAVE starting at $235, I'm gonna make my very first foray into mail order on Tuesday. My only problem is what to write on the outside of the envelope. There are three levels of mail order tickets, but I'm only interested in the two lowest price options, so I can't put "any." The GDTSTOO site advises what to write for one kind of ticket, but not for multiples (less than "any"). Still with me? What I'm tentatively writing is as follows: 7/3 2 res tix @95.50 or 2 GA tix @115.50 7/4 1 res tix @95.50 or 1 GA tix @115.50 7/5 1 res tix @95.50 or 1 GA tix @115.50 I imagine that any confusion whatsoever gets your order bounced, even if everything else is correct. I emailed GDTSTOO, but who knows if they'll get back to me, or in time? Experienced mail orderers, what do you recommend? Thanks!

Is this right - desktop only? Never saw this when I ordered.

I paid for all 5 nights video and got a message that my credit card had been billed. But when I try to watch get asked for a Username and password. I was never asked for a username. Tried the email address about 20 times, no good. Been on hold with the phone help line for an hour. Concert starts in 25 minutes. This is a PPV abortion. And of course there are lots of disclaimers about how there will be no refunds. MLB.com you seriously blew this one.

I'm in on my laptop. But via Chrome, not internet explorer. With IE, I was getting the same login issue that others are having. You should be able to enter your email address and password that you set up with you did the "Redeem" from the email.

Sorry for all those having trouble logging in, try google chrome instead of internet explorer as previously mentioned. Wow, for a guy who's been "off the road" for 25 years (saw approx 150 shows, last in 1990), it's a little overwhelming to have mid-floor views on the big screen, so many memories are washing over me already. Really glad to be a part of this, no matter how it differs from the dream we dreamed long ago...

I want to give Trey the benefit of the doubt, but he just looks like an outsider up there, doesn't fit in with the boys. Maybe by day 5 he will.

My friend texts it as Slipnot>Truckin'. Maybe the instrumental intro wasn't recognized. Totem: You're probably right. I think the intro was not recognized by my friend — or maybe she really wanted to hear it. I'll bet Trey is holding his own.

Since I've been stuck here in the hospital for the past 3 days it's nice to hear some good vibes. Guess I'm lucky I got shut out of these shows, would've missed them anyway.

It's moving to see the boys together again--- my wife broke into tears a few times--- I can't criticize, this is a dream come true. Phil looks vibrant and happy, they all do and they sound amazing after 50 years. Can't wait for Trey to let loose

What do you mean by that? @uconnjhd: I think you're right, and it's a clever way to point out another legendary long break, but perhaps also put them down for being old and slow. I guess I'm a little over-sensitive, as I am old and slow myself, and have had personal experience with defibrillators. They're not exactly something that you hit on like an asthma inhaler :-)
