    I got a plain, regular Madison Square Garden ticket from GDTS, the same type I get for my Knicks ticket from MSG. Not complaining; I got a "grate" floor seat from good ol' GDTS. "Let there be songs to fill the air."

    i would think the tickets
    i would think the tickets need to be printed per order, i dont think they have the tickets on hand. GDTS might have the same deal or get an alotment of tickets to each venue. or if they are anything like the old mail orders then they have to be made then printed. i'm sure each order # is tagged to the requested ammount of tickets and are printed not long before they are sent out. when we used to go to ticketbastards they had to print the tickets, they did not just have them already on hand as far as i can remember. when you least expect it you'll get that e mail confirmation and everything will be just exactly perfect. im curious what the mail orders look like. are they like the old mail orders all decorated or are they just plain old tickets.

    Yeah I don't like them taking my cash then holding out on sending the product. It's not good business. I worry what if something happens during the delivery, there won't be much time to fix any potential problems if they wait until the last second. It doesn't even make sense to wait that long. Meanlesam is right - what about the folks who will be on the road (like me)?? Oh yeah I'll just swing back to my house once a week to pick up more tickets. No problem. Sheeesh! While we are bitching, I wish they would have just scheduled those last 3 shows from the get-go. I was stupid and made flight/hotel arrangements before knowing about the add on shows, now I'm trying to change my flight, and add on more days to my hotel and it is so expensive to make changes its not even worth it. Probably can the flight (lose money) and drive now. It's a little frustrating. But I'm still going ... somehow!! "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

    RE: Asking the age-old question
    I sent Music Today an email asking when I could expect my tickets. Unfortunately they replied with: "Our tickets ship approximately 2 weeks prior to the event. Once tickets ship you will receive an email confirmation of your shipment along with the tracking number for your order." This makes me nervous. And a little pissed off. They took my money the day I ordered but I have to wait more than 2 months to receive my tickets. Absolutely craptacular. And what about the folks that are going on tour? You know it's gonna get stranger, so let's get on with the show!

    Asking the age-old question
    Anyone gotten pre-sale tix yet? I've never waited so long to get tickets that I bought so early. And yes, I know the "two weeks before the show" disclaimer....having seen that kind of caveat attached to many, many tix bought online (that would then show up the following week), I've just stopped believing it. Is it really true this time?

    Glad you got tickets! We'll be at Worcester show Sat night. I've seen Ratdog 6 times, and seen One More Sat Night 6 times, so I'm 6 for 6! If my record holds, maybe I'll bring you good luck! Crickets and cicadas sing, a rare and different tune, Terrapin Station.

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."
