Grateful Dead

Thanks for nothin man... prices are rediculously high I WOULD BE clearing monies from other places (jayhawkfrank) just to get tix if i could afford them not to mention travel and somewhere to sleep... maybe they will come closer to home or drop the prices later but this tour is a friggin bust for me... just so the people like mr jayhawkfrank are aware not everyone has that kinda dough man... so if you wanna flame me for bitching about the price... so be it but for many of us this is a legitimate bitch not whining like a 12 year old

As I wrote before, I got through to the ticket order page for MSG 15 minutes after they went on sale. Even though I only ordered one ticket, it returned a message saying nothing was available for the floor, and I tried again for section 100, and again, same message, nothing available. So I'm a bit confused by the people who said that after 45 minutes they were able to get tickets (even if it wasn't MSG). So I bummed out for a while, came back here and saw Gr8ful Ted's post about the mail order. I have ordered tix from GDTS-Too before, but in my bummed-outness it slipped my mind, so I am grateful for the reminder. I just got back from the Post Office, my order is on the way!

any Miracle seats for a handy capper ? DOOMSDAY 2112

need 2 for MSG,3 for Saturday in Philadelphia and 2 for Nassau PLEASE!!! anyway, what is the story, next week more tix will be available through ticketmaster or through the same vendor ?? damn that site was S L O W!! had seats for MSG but by the time my screen loaded it went past the time limit. please help! I'll be your best friend. ( -; peace.

What an abomination this "pre-sale" was! Perhaps I'll try for a better result with mail order; I'd still like to catch one show.... ...but for the first time in my life, I don't feel good about giving money to this organization.

Not trying to flame here but i'm not rich either folks. We are a 1 income fam with my wife in med school and a kid and another on the way. This is "The Dead" People. Although I am older I just wasnt into the the dead in the 90's and missed the last tour so this tour "had to happen". Failure was not an option. That being said. This was announced on jan 1 exactly 12 days ago which is plenty of time to scrape together the funds and to go. I mean really, you can't see friggin celine dion (not my cup o tea) for less two hundred. So a good seat at great show is well worth $100. As for travel and somewhere to sleep?? Are you kidding me? I will hitch hike or walk to Denver from Kansas City and sleep on a f#cking rock to see this show. Once again it's all about priorities. To those who tried to buy but got screwed over, i.e. soldout, credit card not accepted, etc I really feel for you as you were genuinely screwed over. And I pray that all of you catch a miracle or 2.

Man, what a frustrating presale. As everyone saw, the pages simply did not load. I had four great seats for MSG in my basket, and by the time I was able to enter all of my information, the system informed me that the tickets in my basket were unavailable, because "I" has taken too long!! It instructed me to empty my basket (man that was hard to make myself do!), and start over. Of course, there were no tickets left at any price. Of course I did not take too long - the pages simply would not load. What a disappointing experience.

Got my six tix for Chicago... I was thrilled to see them book a venue a half hour from my house, so lets get on with the show!! Yeah, the order site was painfully slow, but I expected that- kept my cool and plugged on through and got the tix. Nothin' left to do but SMILE SMILE SMILE

These prices are way out of control. $100 for every seat at MSG?? No way. As much as I would love to see these guys I am not paying that kind of money. After watching the videos on Dead.net the only thing that I can think is that these guys are hard up for cash and they are going to rip off and alienate their true fan base. I was all psyched to take my 12 year old son to his first Dead related show to let him see the scene firsthand. It is a shame that this will not happen because they need to make some money. Yes, it's true that they may be struggling but what about the rest of us??? (I know moan, moan, whine, whine-I had to get it off of my chest!!!)

That was a ridiculous experience. Not only were the pages slow to load, but some wouldn't load completely. I "guessed" at the "add to cart" or "continue" button half the time. And the city/state button? Never saw the "button" for that. It was sheer luck that I found myself on the next page with that sorry applet that looked like it was developed by a 6th grade kid. Damn. Anyhow. Rant over. We're going. By the time I got around to finding four tix together we were in the upper altitudes, but that's cool. And yeah, the price is kinda steep but here's the thing.. My gf kids, ages 19 and 17 are coming too. They've grown up with the Dead and I think I may be more excited that they get to see them then they are. Probably not though. We were their age when we were going back then. I gotta ask her if she ever thought she'd be seeing them one day with her own kids.
