Grateful Dead

why so much money guys/ we are all hurting but does it have to come to this. only the rich can afford a night like this, that counts me out! whats a simple man suppose to do ? . its not about the music any more NOW IS IT? GREED, GREED, GREED THATS THE PICTURE I GET.

I got my tickets to Chicago, but no luck so far for Denver. Does any one know if a regular release through ticketmaster will come after this Pre-sale??I'm taking my 8yr old on this field trip, Can't think of anyone else I would want to bring more!

I cannot even put into words how disappointed I am in the ticket prices and what is obviously a money grab. I am shocked that the remaining members would have anything to do with something so under-handed. $100 for a floor ticket.....they cant be serious. I was so excited about the tour, and now I am finally done. I have paid $50 to see Phil, but usually at small and cool venues. $100 for a sports arena. Im sorry, but people attending are suckers, plain and simple. the group I toured with, many of whom I am still in regular contact with are all in the 38-42 age range and are all professionals with income to spare. I know for a fact not one of them is going. I'll take a walk down to the venue the night of the show and try to score a ticket from the desperate people who will be stuck. At least thats what I think will be the case.

in 03 saw the boys with dylan opening and also playing several tunes with them plus Robert Hunter was thrown in there inbetween for good measure, sure wasn't 100$, but, this is 09, and you know who to really thank for these prices. Jimmy Herring took the lead role that tour, so glad it's Warren instead this time. IMHO the best and closest match to Jer was the 2000 other ones tour, with Steve Kimock and Mark K. from ratdog both on lead, that space they played at live oak in fla was awesome. No one, no how, no where will ever replace Jer. logged on at 11:55 am, sent to waiting area, sat for 45 mins, booted right up and got great seats at greensboro. It must have been the roses, just moved to NC from FL and would not have been able to go if still lived in fla, thanks to the band for letting me wave that flag one more time. See you all there.

Sleeping right in the back of the car in D.C. and Charlottesville. Taking the backpack stove and some rice and noodles. no hotel and bringing my own food for 3 days will cut down the cost alot. Theres ways to make this tour if you want it bad enough

I tried like crazy at 11 a.m. yesterday for chicago tix. so much traffic on the site that it wouldn't let me do anything. Tried at 11 pm last night, said there weren't enough tix for me to order 2. tried again at 5 a.m. this morning.... got one tix in a not so wonderful section... i said, well honey, have fun... logged on 5 minutes later and got one more tix, with a seat directly behind the first tix i purchased. i don't know if i should push my luck with another tix just in case or not. but hey, at least we are both going. and i got lucky with a hotel "suite" right across from arena for $89, compared to a regular room for $125. lucky to get that, 2 hotels i tried were already "no vacancy" for that night.Chi-town here we come and we are STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we will be there early afternoon if anybody wants to hang out b4 the show!!!!!!!!!! just let me know.

C'mon guys, 100 bucks for a ticket. Jerry must be spinning. 350 for a special ticket package. And in the worst recession since WWII. I'd rather see the DSO for 35.00. Certainly not what you would expect from a band that once touted their tickets were a "righteous 5 dollars" . I'm staying home.

I gotta admit I was shocked and extremely disappointed with the average ticket price for these shows. I was planning on doing the Philly run, but for me an my girl to go it would be almost $500 dollars alone in tixs. In my opinion that is way, way too much. I'll most likely still try and hit one of the shows but I honestly think we're all getting raped!!

All Phish tickets are 49.50, no matter where the seat. Don't tell me prices are going up 100% when another band can sell em for 49.50.As stated before, you think that in a bad economy, that a band with so much money wouldn't make their fans hold their own ankles while they bend over. It just aint right. Between the political support and the major inflation of tickets, this band has definitely sold out. If half the price for every ticket was for some charity, I might consider going, but right now, I need charity while these rich old men enjoy their private estates. Again, Phish tickets are all 49.50. Who has more concern for their fans? See you on Phish tour.

When did The Dead become The Eagles? Wayyy tooo much $$!!! Jerry would be pissed and Bob,Phil,Billy+Micky should be ashamed!!!Kickin' people when they're down--NOT the Grateful Dead way.
