    Is that the best they can do?
    Total BS. I was getting two ticket for each of three shows and their damn server takes so long that it does not allow me to check out. Time I empty cart and start over, all good seats are gone! I cannot believe how bad of an experiece that was. That will leave a bad taste for a long time.

    What does that mean ?? I was thinking they maybe unprepared for the volume today especially when I saw over 3,500 people viewing the forums..Shoreline for 4 lawn seats which I wanted including 2 day UPS was 197.50 total..I figured that was a grate deal

    It took an hour, but I just got two tix for the Denver show. We'll probably be in the ceiling but I don't care! Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.... Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right...

    This process is a nightmare. The only people that got tickets are the scalpers that are selling them on Craigs List already... What about doing MAIL ORDER again, it worked for many years Still amazed they were not prepared for the internet traffic. this really sucks !

    Ticketing didn't work!!
    Spent 2 hrs trying to get tix to chicago. Finally got the 6 tix I needed for my friends and I in the upper bowl. Literally spent $95/ticket for upper bowl tickets. Don't mean to share my negative vibe, but I'm literally in tears because of how bad this process sucked and how bad it turned out. I know that I need to turn my feelings around, but I was so excited and now our seats suck. Nosebleed at $100/pop. Can't believe how much this ticket process didn't work.

    50 minutes of torture and finally 4 tix for Greensboro close up on the side of stage. They need a new plan for sales. What a terrible experience. Support the Dead channel on satellite radio!

    don't click the update button
    i tried in one browser after the screen wouldn't let me update my delivery method and it reset everything to zero with no way of getting it back. by the time i got back in i had lost my sweet upfront seats and had to settle for nose bleeds. atleast i had two browsers going so i got better seats for the second show.ALSO, if you have two browsers going DONT enter card info on both---they read off of eachother. once seats are confirmed in one browser they'll show up in your cart of the other. I don;t want to see anyone get double charged

    I didn't connect through the link on this site, since my company's content filter was blocking anything with "musictoday" in the title. Somehow got in through the registration page, and then the wait was on. Heaven help anyone trying for multiple shows this way. Now I can't wait to see if my seats are real. The venue map that I'm looking at shows floor seats 1-12 in each section...I've got 13 and 14. Huh? Slowest online ticket experience I've had since dial-up. The ticketing site was definitely overwhelmed....I expect crap seats after the wait, but still scored 10 row. Again, assuming that the seats really exist. Good luck to all and see you at the show!

    This ticket process is a fiasco. You boys have lost it, letting this type of thing happen. I couldn't/still can't get in. However, I was able to go see literally thousands of tickets available on places like stubhub right at 12 Noon Eastern. However, I would have had to pay over $400 for an upper bowl section at All State Arena. I've seen the Dead over 50 times in my life, starting in 1977. No more. Where's Jerry when we need him?

    not all deadheads are yuppies
    attention whoever thought $100 tickets were a good idea - not all deadheads are yuppies. thanks for confirming the suspicions of many that were aroused during the obama shows that yall have lost the spark and sold the spirit of the grateful dead down the river. have a great time with warren "whiskey drenched southern rock does not fit with grateful dead music" haynes and all the quarter-full stadiums this spring. ps - if you're only in it for the money, you would've made a lot more selling tickets for $40-$50 and actually selling out shows. you might want to fire whoever is currently doing your tour production. unless the whole idea was keep out kids, students, etc and welcome in yuppies, in which case, you should give that guy a raise, cuz he succeeded.

First show day! Cant wait to see what they play-I hope everybody has a good 'ole time down in N.C.- One more week, One more week!!!! Funny how now that The Dead are coming around all the radio stations ACT like they LOVE The Dead- The other day I heard a little commercial for the upcoming Worcester shows on a station that NEVER plays them, Then the DJ comes on all phoney like-"Oh, I Cant Wait!!!(Yeah right) I Dont know-I guess its like around St.Patricks Day, When everyone thinks they're Irish--LOL---Its all good because...ONE MORE WEEK!!!!! Dust off those rusty strings.........:-)

yo moye, A for effort. Happy Easter to you and everyone else, too!! also, folks, watch out for counterfeit tickets!! please don't buy ANYTHING from people you don't know. worst case: it is some poisen and you end up dead or in the ER other bad case: it is an undercover-fuzz selling you to set you up for a fall. (scalper or other stuff undercover fuzz) totally dissapointing scenario: you think you have a tix, but get turned back and shut out at the door trying to get in with a bogus ticket you bought off some asshole. PLEASE be carfeul with everything. drive safe!

From seeing the set list and hearing a bit from the stream is it a fair assessment that the show rocked last night? "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"

Blew the roof off the top of the Greensboro Coliseum last night. Yes indeed, the show did ROCK! I wish Warren was a little more melodic with his leads, but why quibble? My internal organs are still shaking...GO AND SEE THIS TOUR!

Thank you to all in the Grateful Dead family for putting on this tour. Greensboro was an amazing musical experience. I am so grateful to this wonderful organization to offer the downloads of these shows as well. It always has been about the music. Sunday night in Greensboro was un-disputable proof that the boys are STILL the greatest band going. Thank you Phil,Bobby,Billy,Mickey,Jeff and Warren(who, by the way, did an amazing, amazing job filling those shoes. He was not flashy. Just showed in his own style, that he is one of the greatest guitarists on the scene today.) For all the Deadheads that will be attending the rest of the tour--enjoy yourselves. These shows are truly a gift to all the fans who realize just how special this music has been to us since the beginning. HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!!

Can't believe that in 48 hours I will be in the parking lot of a Dead Show!!!! It has been 14 long years... can't believe it. They played Ripple last night - so psyched to hear the recording, but a little bummed I missed it, cuz most likely won't come out tomorrow - I'm also going Sunday so I will hope for that - and here is why: I am going with my 14 year old son who is incredibly pumped to be seeing the Dead. He thought he would never get the chance. Now...when he was a baby I would sign him to sleep with... Ripple. The song became a real bond between us through the years, so when I heard that they played it in NYC I thought that it would be the perfect moment (OK, that and the fact I never saw it live when we were all still Grateful too). I am so excited I can hardly keep a thought in my head. You know what - never mind - I don't care what they play. WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO

I didn't really need any additional motivation, but what you say just gets me all the more excited for when I hit the last leg of the tour out west! Thanks man! "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"

I try not to wish ill will on anyone, but I have to say I'm glad they're gettin burned. Also glad the boyz provided charity seats to help combat the issue. We scored a charity pair front row Phil side for 19th!!!!
