Grateful Dead

Are presale tiks gonna appear only on Dead.net? What's the deal/proceduere for getting tiks

and Ouch!Not actually bad in the lowere price range, but once TM adds on their share it's not going to be pretty.

sounds like an awesome service and I'm all about nostalgia...... if you guys know what sort of seats gdstoo usually has?

Or maybe some of us are a little nostalgic, and doing this the way we used to do it. :)

my guess there is a countdown box in the upper right hand corner of the home page " Countdown to Ticket Pre-sale" Right now it reads 23 hour 30min for me. So about 10 min before 10 am local time (9:45-9:50), they will post the instructions on how to purchase at 10am local time. Most likely a password to a ticketmaster or livenation portal which will probably open as a separate webpage. I'm anxious too but this is typical for a big presale of this nature. Trying my best to be patient.

I think there are more than 1 option and the mail order is one of them..I also believe you can buy tickets onlone tommorrow as another option.. According to the above thread this site will have the info but they need to hold off on getting the password out to far in advance... As sson as the password is anounced it will hit the internet in no time so in a sense it is in our best interest to be patient so that we are rewarded with tickets as opposed to all the others out there that will be purchasing tickets to sell for an inflated proffit.. The only two thing I am lost on is What time do tickets go on sale ???? Will this site direct to purchasing tickets ot do we have to open another window since it will be sperate from this site and if that is the case which agency is selling the tickets ???

The presale is HERE online tomorrow, per dead.net. That other site is if you do not have a credit card.

So am I reading this right? That you gotta mail in it for presale tics or are ya gonna be able to get them online? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

For those of you just logging on to see what the heck is going on.... The presale will be right here on dead.net tomorrow. gdtstoo.com is for all of ya that don't have credit cards but is a trusted source if you want to mail order $$. Seems like a gamble for the kind of seat you want though, unless someone can post what seats they will be providing. Instructions for online presale will be posted by dead.net tomorrow morning so be patient. Personally I'll have quick fingers and credit card ready tomorrow morning at 10am local time. After shelling out $100+ to see Bob Dylan, 'Stones, Metallica and about 20 other artists in the 100-400 price range......75-100 is really cheap nowadays for this caliber of show. There won't be empty seats as at this price point, it'll be a quick sellout....

My predictions: - Despite the claims of half-full arenas, these shows will sell quite well - if they aren't complete sellouts. Tickets won't be hard to come by though. Don't waste your money on scalpers. It's not like the old days when tickets could be impossible to find. If you need tickets, you'll be able to find them. - The crowd will be mostly folks in their 20s-early 30s who mostly never saw the Dead with Jerry. They don't have as many hangups or opinions about The Dead not being as good as when Jerry was in the band. They also never knew a time when tickets were relatively cheap. Big shows have always been expensive to them, so they won't really balk at the price. This is their chance to see The Dead and they're going to jump at it. - Those who attend will have a great time. And that's what it's really all about. As for me personally - I'm most likely going to skip it. I fall into none of the above categories. I was planning on hitting 4-5 shows, but the price is now keeping me away. I'll probably breakdown eventually and go to the DC show, since it's minutes from my house. But I'll probably just buy a cheap seat, sit behind the stage, close my eyes and soak it in a bit. And on a side note - I just have to laugh a little about everyone complaining about mail order and questioning GDTSTOO. If I didn't already feel a bit old - that certainly did it. ;-)
