State websites usualy list where their rest area's are. Find one close and crash there, thats what im doing. Look up truck stops too, they have shower rooms you can use also for like $6-$8 if your the type that needs a shower. You can look up car pool lots also, there's many places to crash. Just dont get so tanked you cant make it, nothing spoils a tour like having to deal with the law.

not in philly these days.The lot scene at the spectrum is usaly WIDE open but after the show they will make you leave.But if you drive down 95 to exit 9 A highway 420 there are a few hotels right there sure you can find floor space. I for some reason you can not find space in a room there is a deneys right there sure you could sleep there(in you van)

Does anyone know if theres camping at philly shows? Never been to the spectrum or philly for that matter. If no camping, am I allowed to crash in my van in the lot? Phatmoye

February 1st, 1960 marks the 49th anniversary of the fateful day four brave black students sat down at a segregated lunch counter in a woolworth's store in Greensboro and made history. The counter's chairs and stools were for whites only, while blacks had to stand to eat. The four were refused service, but were allowed to stay. The next day, 28 students joined the sit-in, and the next there were 300 more. About 5 months later, 3 major stores changed there policies to allow intergrated counters. 4 yrs later the civil rights act was signed by LBJ.How cool is that? I remember the day when hippies, long hairs and dead heads were treated the same way. Like once in a restaurant in Ohio in l969 when we were refused service due to our appearance. Thank the stars for people like these students and dead heads everywhere for standing up for what you believe in. "We will survive"

But isn't scalpers BEFORE public ass-backwards? Setting the public up for higher priced tix, from the get-go? Like "if you wanna see this show, bow down and beg, and pay out the nose"?Simple business calculations would seem to indicate that every party involved in selling these tickets earns their percentage on them, making the end price higer, after every extra agency they go through. ********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

I've heard that the tickets were on sale on TicketNow and Other Scalper sites, even before they went on sale to the public....being that I just got home, haven't been able to sort through all of the info, but from what I see this is true!____________________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Am I reading correctly or incorrectly that it sounds like Ticketmaster sold, "allotted" or whatever, huge blocks of tickets to their sister company TicketNow? Ie: direct to scalper agency instead of to the public?********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

Reading through this, this does not surprise me. Just got an email from Sugarmegs.org (i've been working alot throughout all of this) and they said ALL the Mail orders have been fulfilled, except for a few (1 out of 3 ain't bad for Shoreline) and this is all just wrong. I used to mail order everytime for shows, only got shut out once. Needless to say, I suspected that Ticket Bastard and others did this for along time before this. NOW I KNOW. "It's a sign of the times", people say. "It's all about the Benjamins", others do. But really? I don't blame the band at all. They are just musicians that are the best in the world....think of how many bands they've influenced, why so much GREED? So wrong. Thank God I got my tickets to Chicago. I'm skeptical about getting any for Shoreline. Most of my headicated friends from home (Bay Area) had to work at the time of the presale too, except for the mail orders, and "tried" to buy tickets through Ticket Bastard to no evail. I'm so excited to see these shows, I've been dancin and singing all over town. Yet, this really pisses me off. Thank you to all on this forum for letting me know that at the very least, WE all still have our original values. There are some really good people in this community, so let's just stay true to each other, and say FUCK the money monger bastards! I can't wait to see the boys in full swing, making me feel like I'm home again. Blowing my mind, and melting my innards. Thank you Billy, Bobby, Phil, Mickey, Warren, and Jeff for letting me know you are NOT apart of this rape! ____________________________________________________ Will you come with me?

Just wanted to thank all of you for being a part of this family. Ive noticed that deadnet is getting bigger, I can see alot of new members joining and love reading your storys and coments. We all are one huge family and the music over the years brought us all together. Thanks again everyone!Phatmoye "WE WILL GET BY, WE WILL SURVIVE!"
