    Roseland Taping? Goes to show.....
    Hey Y'all! In response to the timing of the email, my winning notification came at 12:12pm EST. I was also sitting at my computer when they announced the contest yesterday and immediately went to the website to fill in my entry form. I just noticed that the Gramercy show only holds around 100 people! Wow, that is tiny!!! So, there were only 50 winners (of a pair each) for that one! Lucky You!!! Roseland seems to be closer to 1000 capacity so they gave away 405 pairs for that one. That seems like it will be quite a lovely psychedelic set as it starts at 11pm and the boys don;t have anywhere to be after that one (except bed) AND they are on West Coast time!!! So, it is really 8pm for them! I better drink lots of Green Tea before this one! (^_^) (yes that's right after all these years of living the spiritual healthy cleansing path some simple Green Tea or Yerba Mate is all I need to make me shine me like the sun!) Still have not found or heard of any info regarding TAPING for these shows so if anyone has the word on that, please pass it along! I am planning on bringing my gear and am praying I get to set it up - or even get in with it! On a side note, already found a sweet friend here in Western Mass to be my show buddy and wonderfully enough it is her Birthday on Monday! She has also seen hundreds of shows and has not seen any of "the boys" since Jerry left us so I am already feeling the true homecoming of these shows and this Tour! Paradise Waits....... ~ Antonio ~

    Got mine around quarter past noon EDT. I would think they'd all be out by now, but I'm no authority. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    Did you just get the email recently or has it been more than an hour since you received it? Just trying to figure out if the invitations are all out? Thanks!

    I was lucky to get Roseland. I'm coming up from Miami and found that you can book last minute flights plus Hotel (I got Park Central Hotel) cheaper than the flight alone. I went through Travelocity-$515 for roundtrip flight plus two nights across from Carnegie Hall, 5 short blocks down Broadway to Roseland. Flight alone was over $550. Looking to see other lucky ones there. Take care all,DRR

    Taping Monday? I'm In Roseland! Who's is in Gramercy? Team Up?
    Hey! Just got the glorious email from Dead.net - I am in for Roseland! It looks like the largest of the venues 1000+ but still tiny by any other measure for the power of The Dead! I am wondering if anyone has any word on taping policies for this show? I could not find any information on it anywhere on the site. You would think it would be ok. You would think anyways..... I am coming a long way (from Western Mass) and do not want to lug all that gear into NYC if there is no taping allowed. Anyone get a green light for Gramercy? Want to team up and get me in to Gramercy and I will get you into Roseland? I will also have some sweet recordings of the show too! (I hope!) Any one in general coming from Western Mass or up this way that may want to truck along with me to the show - let me know!!! Let's Get On With The Show......... LET"S GO!!!!! (^_^) Antonio (^_^)

Hey Dan,Don't let it bug you - I believe we've all moved on from where things were at a few months ago. Our heroine, Mary E, saved us from the dragon, and the vibes have been much sunnier here since then (Thanks, Mary!). Crickets and cicadas sing, a rare and different tune, Terrapin Station.

Crystal Journey has arrived in the United States for a 14 city tour along with seeing The Dead 7 times in NY, NJ, DC, NC and VA. It was a very smooth and peaceful border crossing, a BIG smile from the pretty woman in the booth asking where we were going? to see the Grateful Dead I yelled with excitement. Photos and news will be updated as I have internet access. All Crystal Journey dates are on the performances page.

If you ordered your tix from musictoday via the online pre sale, they should be delivered to your door by UPS if you chose the default shipping method when ordering. (got my Chi. tix this way a couple of days ago) You should also get an email notifying you that they've shipped along with a tracking #. If nothing happens by 1 week or so prior to the show, you should refer to the email confirmation you received after ordering, and send an email to the musictoday link provided letting them know.

of you got your tickets in the mailbox and one of you got your tickets at your door? I seriously have the worst luck when it comes to ticket delivery. I followed the tracking number online it said they tried to deliver to my door but I wasn't there (yeah no kidding I'm at work!) and that they left a slip. I get home and there is no slip. Now I try to call USPS and it is all automated.. Can't get a hold of a live person. I'm so frustrated.. I know I'm going to get thrown to the wolves for backing TicketSlacker but at least when you buy a ticket from them, you just print the damn tickets right there on your computer and you don't have to go through all this waiting and agonizing and trying to call people etc.. I have 3 more packages of pre sale tickets still coming.. I'm going to be a nervous wreck by the time this is all said and done! :-) "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me.

Can't you hit "0" and get an operator or customer service person? I hate the automated systems!!! I would be frustrated too. I have my mom on UPS patrol today since the tix are going to her house. I told her if she hears anything remotely close to a ups truck her little butt better be out at the mail box lol!

I did order mine at the presale with music today and I did get an email saying they were on the way, but they were put in my mailbox in that big white mailer-type envelope?!?! I think I just went with the default shipping method also. I don't know! I was so nervous and anxious that day I got the tickets, there is no telling what I hit:)

Was the tracking info you received from UPS (brown) or from USPS (mailman) ? Either way, I suppose, you should be able to get info online as to the status of your package if you re-check the track. It may be at your local post office or the UPS office, available for you to pick up. Or they may have returned to sender. Hopefully not! :-(

If it was UPS, they will usually try back the next day- just make sure you or someone is there to sign for it. " Goin' where the climate suits my clothes... "

I remember having all my stuff ready to go, I stayed home from work to order through presale, then the system was overloaded adn I kept getting logged off or thrown back to the previous screen. I was so frustrated I remember pacing back and fourth just waiting to get to the next screen and complete the order. Luckily I can laugh about it now :o)!

Musictoday does alot of the pre-sale ticketing for bands nowdays and they do leave some things to be desired. As far as the delivery I ordered from them along with GDTS and when they delivered I thought they would ask for a signiture but they just stuck it under the door mat and rang the bell. They do tell ya (I dont know why I never do this) that if your not going to be home have it delivered to your work. UPS will deliver to all offices before 5 PM (7PM for home delivery) and most offices have a recptionist or send it to a friends office if you dont have one. Goode luck I am still waiting for my Shorline tix and chi 5/4

I live in San Diego and have 2 VIP tickets to the May 9th Show in Los Angeles. I'm hoping to find someone to join me in having a great time. The tickets are paid for and I would require no compensation or strings attached for joining me. Contact me if you would be interested -- especially in riding up with me from San Diego. FWIW, I am a 39-year old male divorced attorney and a nice guy who is drug free.

Bought my C'ville ticket today! Can't wait! Hope to run into some old friends there. Although I'm not from this side of the US, actually from West Coast...but I might get lucky...at my age all my friends are probably going thru mid-life crisis so they might have decided to tour with the Dead again....its been many years since my last show...I don't remember it very well because there have been so many and they all seem to get jumbled up in my head....so yeah...looking forward to the show and seeing some family! Thinking about taking a trip down to Greensboro to get away from family drama at home with the holiday coming. My daughter will be out of town with her dad in CA and I will be on my own (cept for the family drama I will leave behind). Looked into going to the DC show but yikes it reminds me of a Vegas show without Vegas! Parking will suck! So not sure bout it yet. But I do have the day off! Anyway, hope to see some friends and family in C'ville. Ciao! Ann Marie (originally from west coast L.A. area)

Estimated Prophet into Birdsong I finally got my Denver tickets after the post office fiasco earlier this week... they were in the mail and I have a PO box which complicates it even more. Anyways I am relieved but I still have 3 more packages of tickets to go... yikes! I am sure it will be a roller coaster ride before it is all said and done :-) Oh and I also got my Hartford 77 CD's and they are smokin from what I have heard so far. Today I am very happy with the post office yaaay!! "And I'll call down thunder and speak the same. My word fills the sky with flame. Might and glory gonna be my name and they gonna light my way."

(by now everyone should have this in email, but just in case) For the auditory delight of all Dead Heads we're proud to provide every note of the spring tour in the highest-quality straight from the soundboard! Pre-order downloads of individual shows, specific runs or the complete tour. You'll receive an email when your download is available, usually within 24 hours after the show! Live show downloads are available for pre-order. The actual show downloads will be ready for downloading as fast as humanly possible. The estimate is within 24 to 48 hours after each show.
