Grateful Dead

I have to say I was quite surprised at how much the tickets are. They are outragous, It just knocked me out for going on tour, I got a ticket for Chicago and I'm glad I have it , but I can't afford a $100.00 a show so there will be no tour for me. I just paid $113.00 with the taxes for an upper level ticket at rosemont, I know this place and thats alot of money for the seat. I'm really surprised that they are doing this like this, it certainly not what the Dead were about. Like I said at least I have a ticket. I also saw that the cheapest VIP ticket was $395.00 for a ticket for one night , oh the extras along with it , thats just silly. I'm disappointed that they are doing this like this, but I will be there to rock. I'm sorry to say all this , because I was glad that they decided to do the tour. My apologies to anyone I have offended and to the band , but come on.

i am sick of the people sticking up for these outrageous ticket prices. In no way do they need to charge this much money to make a living. They make money every day off of royalties and their other bands. This is total bull shit and can't believe that they would do this to their fans. I mean come on. Jerry isn't even alive. And oh yeah, were missing a couple of keyboardists too. Worst tour ever

I bought 2 seats to the shows because I would have more fun if I found a miracle pretty girl to tour with, but if I have to tour alone I will and that means I've got a potential miracle in my pocket right now. Imagine how I'll feel if I get tapers tixs in the mail and get GA admission on the floor for The forum too, on reg sale? Gonna try for many miracles. Good luck all. :):):). Gotta keep tryin all the way to the door and beyond. Isn't that the old way I've been taught but only once had the pleasure of experiencing. I was lucky enough to get to the '92' Hamilton, Can. shows in university. Best shows of my life, never thought I'd get another chance. Hear it is. I'm goin for it. Gonna love seeing how things are nowadays. Anyone else comin down from Vancouver, BC. It's Going to be a Grateful Trip to Cali.

when you get tix ............

Set up account as directed last evening ,,, ignored b.s. rumors about password ... opened ticket calendar window ahead of time ... opened the Garden seating chart ahead of time that shows a picture of the view from every seat. ... walked into my office and shut the door @11:55 ... sat at my desk and kept at it for 45 minutes ... if I hit an hour, I'll walk to the P.O. and do mail order ... got offered decent seats, checked the picture, done. My wife and I get to see some of the most creative musicians at work today play their hearts out for two or three hours. Beautiful! I assume these websites are run by real people doing their best, and I count my blessings that I see things that way.

Send good vibes? Come to their senses? $100 to sit in the 300s at MSG (which I couldn't even get). What are you talking about? It's not so much the money (although I don't know of too many folks getting a pay increase in '09), what irks me is the powers to be keep make really stupid decisions, this being the latest in a long string of gaffs. I wasted 1.5 hours of my life that I could have spent with my kids staring at a computer telling me there is "high demand" and to not hit refresh. I can't get that time back. Why use a system that doesn't work? Admit reality - the peace and love disappeared on 8/9/95. Time to hang it up on move on. I did at 1:30 pm EST this afternoon.

the 23rd it is!

thanks longrifle those are the vibes im talking about

cheese the regular sale starts on the 23rd

When I ordered tix for the Cali shows I was awash in stress just for a tix in the door, not concerned much about good seats. But I was expecting to see 'Tapers Section' in the list but didn't. I got 2 $50 Lawn at Shoreline (most important, last show - prayin for a longer tour in Cali :)) and 2 $100 Colannade for The Forum. I feel the miracle, considering other's woes. People should be happy tixs are still on pre sale, some say, and Ticket Master just posted the Tour on sale to gen public Jan. 24th. Anyway, where were the tapers section tixs? Are they only on mail order? That's the only place I saw any reference to them. I think I'll prepare my mail package tonight and pray for 'Taper's Tix's'. Does anyone know how it works? I've never been blessed with the chance before. Still can't believe I'll be there. Still have the stress from this morning somehow. Still dancin inside. Got a bolltle of wine after work to try and help it sink in and calm down. Feel the Love of the Band. :):):) Piles and Piles and Piles of Smiles!
