Grateful Dead

I don't think it was from Dead.net

Quote: "No tickets will be mailed out. You must print out THIS email and provide it for entrance to the event. Once at the venue all concert goers will be required to provide photo identification along with a copy of the email voucher which will be checked against our record of your confirmation." It also says... "Each ORIGINAL winner must provide THIS physical confirmation email, and a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to gain entrance to the show. The person accompanying them must be the same individual whose name is provided upon entering the ticket giveaway and this person must also provide a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to enter." THANK YOU....Yes that clears it up. Enjoy the show!

No tickets will be mailed out. You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event. Once at the venue all concertgoers will be required to provide photo identification along with a copy of the email voucher which will be checked against our record of your confirmation.

I got that first email too. I'm assuming without any concrete email with my name on it, I'm shit out of luck. It makes me feel like any cool element of this whole scene is finally done. Been seeing shows since 1980 and have never felt this animosity towards GD Tickets. People have real life concerns to take care of day to day. You'd think they'd get their act on the same page as the rest of us.

My e-mail specifically states: "You will be sent an email confirmation voucher that you must print and provide for entrance to the event." I never received a Confirmation vouched....did anyone receive that from GDTS? A simple yes or no will suffice. Thanks

If you received a congratulatory email from Dead.net with your name on it - that IS your ticket (along with photo ID). There's not a second email that you need to receive. Here's an excerpt from the email... "No tickets will be mailed out. You must print out THIS email and provide it for entrance to the event. Once at the venue all concert goers will be required to provide photo identification along with a copy of the email voucher which will be checked against our record of your confirmation." It also says... "Each ORIGINAL winner must provide THIS physical confirmation email, and a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to gain entrance to the show. The person accompanying them must be the same individual whose name is provided upon entering the ticket giveaway and this person must also provide a valid state-issued PHOTO ID in order to enter." Hope that helps.

I just want to add....the replys I have received have been very vague. It should be cut and dry or nothing. Why all the "Head" games...pardon the pun.

Has anyone received the "confirmation email" from dead.net for the Roseland show tomorrow? I recieved a winning notification email Friday, returned it as instructed, but have yet to receive the confirmation email that was supposed to follow... freaking out!!!

I am in the same boat you two are in. I did the mail in on the first day as soon as the post office opened for MSG and I got my MO mail back to me with an apology. I accepted that. I know the supply was not as big as the demand. When I received the e-mail "The Dead 3/30/09 Roseland Ballroom - you've been selected" I too thought it was a consolation for not having received my mail-in tickets but it turned out to be a sweepstakes. I entered and did not hear back from GDTS. OUCH! I now feel as if they dangled a carrot in my face by the way it was worded and find the only thing I had been selected for was to be entered into their sweepstakes for a chance to go to the show. I guess I was not selected after all.

First, ratdog.org, philzone.net, and dead.net each seem to have their own allotment of tickets. From what I have read, the first venue capacity is about 400, blender at gramercy around 500 and roseland about 3,000. Dead.net has a certain allotment of tickets, the 1000 or so to roseland is not the only tickets. Ratdog.org and phils site also have tickets. There also seems to be some confusion in regard to the emails sent out. According to the email sent by ratdog.org, you do not need to reply or confirm that you accept the tickets. The email is the only thing you have to get your tickets. I read someone say that the email from dead.net needed to be conirmed then you get a second email which is used to get the tickets. The ratdog.org email was only one time. In regard to people trying to get "extras" there is none. The only people that will get in these shows have to have the email and the winner and guest listed are the only people admitted. You can not bring anyone else. This is to avoid people selling tickets, if they let u change the name of the guest u listed than u can theoretically sell the ticket and give the spot to the highest bidder. So, if your name is not listed on an email from dead.net, ratdog.org or phils site, you are not going to get in. It clearly states on the complete rules page at http://www.dead.net/official-rules that only the people listed in the email will be admitted and there will be no exceptions. I suggest that everyone look over the official rules: http://www.dead.net/official-rules
