Grateful Dead

Excellent! Hope we all meet at Shoreline. (I'm still at the fingers-crossed stage for tix, but I have hopes it'll work out.)

96 more days till Philly run!!!WOOOOOOWEEEEEEE!!!!!! Anticipation is growing!!! Phatmoye

I accept! Thanks, I hoped we could work this out... :D My hand reaches out to yours as well. "Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow...." Shorline seems so far away...... My first show was in Winterland. Take care all.... :)

Got 2 tix endstage 200 level at the Spectrum. Hoping they won't be obscured by speakers but don't really care. I got them ...that's all I care about. I passed up some from the presale being to picky.Wasn't going to let these go by. Wish I could remember what seats I had March 24, 1973.My first Dead concert.Hurry up May!!!

only 300 level available at Pepsi Center, for 2 seats. 1 seat was 208 Row 14....looks like the presales nabbed all the goodies, which is ok. Hopefully gtdstoo got the best chunk...

Sorry if my last post was a wet blanket - just tryin' to explain why I still luv The Dead and my extended family so much..... Tryin' to pick just one song that would blow me away - is kind of like bein' a kid in a candy store and only being allowed to pick one thing lol! Besides St. Stephen - Cosmic Charlie would be cool... and so would Big River.... and um Iko Iko........ and uh Me & My Uncle........ and maybe I Know Your Rider...... oh wait you said pick just one uh well uh..... DARK STAR!!! Gots to have me one of those!!!!! Atta Boy Jingle!!! I knew you would find a way to get there! theotherone2 - I am down for getting together @ Shoreline! Did you get reserve or GA? Mail order says I have a ticket - where I'm not sure.... I'm debating on staying the night at my bro's in Long Beach or maybe drivin' all night from The Forum up to Shoreline - What do you think? How long is that drive any way? Does anyone know if we can take disposable cameras to the shows or is this a venue by venue kind of decision? Saint Stephen with a rose. In and out of the garden he goes. Country garland in the wind and the rain. Wherever he goes the people all complain.... Shine On! Saint Stephen

I too was in the system a very short time. There weren't many ticket available that's for sure. I picked up two in sec. 210 for $95 + TM charges. My friends could only find seats behind the stage. I see people are trying to resell the ticket for double the price. I say let them eat their costs. I used to buy extra tickets and give them away before going in, not so easy anymore. Too many scalpers ruining that. All you can do is smile, smile, smile. See you at the show!!!

I was only buying one ticket. Generally, I don't select "best available" because I often don't like Ticketmaster's method for selecting the best. But I probably should have this time. First I selected "loge" and was offered a seat in section 71 which is not bad but just starting to be behind the stage. I declined. Then I selected the "100" section and was told none available. Then I selected "best available" and got a seat in section 234, which I bought. Not a great seat, pretty far from the stage, but not so bad, either. I wonder what I would have been offered had I selected "best available" first off. Oh well, considering what everyone's been through (I also came up empty in the presale) I should feel glad just tonot be in the nosebleeds. I also mail ordered for one seat, and got the 1 out of 3 will be filled for MSG notice. Anyway, congrats to those that got choice seats, and sympathies to those that didn't.

So... The MSG Ticketmaster scene was a bit rough! My wife was online and had the similar experience that Dire Rain Ripple had. But she kept trying. Ended up w/ Level 300 behind the stage for $100ea!! Wow! I hope mail order is better, but the last GDTSTOO update said only 1 in 3 orders would be able to be filled, if you postmarked on 1/13. I did, and now I will wait. But...The reason my wife was online instead of me, was because I was down at the TU (Knick) in Albany to check into the scene. They did the old wristband thing. I ended up being 7th in line and got 4th Row Center Section!!!!!!! WooooooooHooooooo!!!!! Therefore...Our Tour shapes up like this: Albany, Worcester (Sat), MSG and then 2nd night Philly. Life is good. Yes Tix are expensive, but as I tell everyone, you cannot put a price tag on the memories you create at a Dead Show! As for the Song... Dark Star is always on the list so I won't list that one, so how about old stuff? Viola Lee Blues!!!! Super tight would be sweet!!! Good Luck to all finalizing your ticket and travel plans. We'll see you on tour!!! I can Tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines! I can Tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines!

Singles were available rear and side stage only, but not for long. I let it go. Maybe next time, if there is a next time. I urge everyone to resist the urge to patronize scalpers. Let them get burned on their "investment" since they choose to look at it that way. They deserve to eat their bad karma. Did score decent floor seats for both nights at Meadowlands, though. There'll be music, sweet music! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.
