    Think this through...
    How could they possibly raise ticket prices after they got 60,000 envelopes full of money orders? It's just sheer numbers. Most people are not going to get a ticket. It's ok. Dont panic.

    A stain on the Grateful Dead
    this whole process for tickets is ridiculous. whomever convinced them any of this was a good idea should be fired. And the limiting of ticket options, specifically the raising of already posted prices because of unexpected demand is shameful. I love the music and can listen to Jerry play and sing all day long- but I am not so infatuated with anyone to know when they are not exactly what they portray. The notion that they are doing this to celebrate or give back to their fans is BS- they have proven through actions that they are doing this for money. I don't shop at the store who doubles the price of shovels the day of a massive snowstorm...and that's exactly what they have done. A small part of me would like to get off the bus. Peace out

    I'm grateful
    To get the chance to see them one last time. It'll be a serious financial strain, especially if I have to go reserved. My wife (she was 11 when Jerry died and never heard of the Dead until she met me) insists that we do it, even if the ticket is $200, She'll stay home with the kids while I have one last show. I saw Phish once. I liked half the show, the other half bored me to tears. But, if the boys want Trey to play lead (I'd prefer Kimock), who am I to question their judgement. I found the mail order system to be fair and random. I first got on the mailing list in 1973. When I started doing mail orders, I never decorated the envelope as I have zero artistic talent. The first few years I always got my requests. I would cover all my bases and usually score tickets, sometimes missing a show on a 2 night stand in one city. After In The Dark came out it started to get a little spotty but I still got most of my requests until 1990. Even then, I would still get some shows for every tour. I don't think I am any more entitled to mail order tickets than the commenter who got on the bus in December. On a somewhat related note, Matthew Garcia R. was born on 1/15, joining his 2 year old brother Aaron Jerome R. as my living tribute to Jerry. What a way to celebrate my 60th birthday. Good luck to all who want to go.

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 :-)
