Not trying to be insensitive, and not blind to the fact that there were definitely tons of tickets snatched up by a-hole scalpers, but there were multiple presales in the first four days of this week, and apart from the citibank presale they were all open to the general public. So no one should be surprised that there were very few tickets left by the time the regular ticket sale began today at noon EST.

you're not insensitive, and I wasn't surprised. I am just really disappointed and frustrated that I have been shut out of EVERY vehicle available to get tickets for these (hopefully) awesome shows...well, I guess I;m not shut out of the scalpers' vehicle yet.

Don't give up, Sir Mkav. From one DFW (NRH) Deadhead to another, there's bound to be something cropping up...I'm thinking TM may cut loose with some between here and there. Keep checking, keep smiling.. BTW if you go to Stubhub tonite and buy tickets for Santa Clara, ya gets whats you pays for. G

nope, not going near stub hub (yet, anyway). flower mound, by the way

Still feeling the love, Dead Inc.?

As of yesterday tickets in the pavillion and lawn were available. Estimated 12000 to 14000 tickets sold today, so the few that were available presale were just that...few. They were harder to get than the general sale.

The only way we can stop the ticket problem when there are limited shows and tickets is under no uncertain terms do we pay scalpers prices or purchase any of these tickets. Once they start grtting stuck with them the prices will come down and we get the tickets. In 45 years I have always gotten tickets via mail order. I was fortunate to get 2 lawn seats through Citi presale but nothing for Chicago. Both sold out in minutes. We deserve the tickets and will get them if we don't cave. I think this is the only answer or just do mail order for all ticket sales. We can control the market.

This is going to be super fun!!!!

I was super excited about seeing Weir, Lesh, Hart, and Kreutzmann at Merriweather Post Pavilion, which happens to be less than eight miles from my home. But I was frozen out from buying tickets online by greedy scalpers, probably armed with computer programs designed for that purpose. Earlier, I went to the box office about an hour before tickets went on sale, but left because I figured the 500 people in line ahead of me could not be accommodated, and that my best bet would be to go back home and try the computer. So I'm left with the wonderful memories of seeing Furthur at MPP, and the Grateful Dead at MPP and several other venues, going back quite a long time. Also, I have the memories of seeing Buddy Miller and Jorma quite a few times, and I hope to see them again in the future. I'll buy the DVD when it comes out, and the profiteers can choke on their ill-gotten tickets. I don't blame the artists, and I would have happily bought the VIP packages at face value, but this concert ticket model just isn't for me.

Now you can all plan a California trip, 2 nights @ Levi Stadium, probably be announced next week ,now that they sold out Merriweather , & after they sell that out , they'll probably announce a couple stadium shows in the NYC vicinity ! You guys really think they not gonna play NYC??? It feels good to be loved by millions again, I mean ain't this the same band that's been playing the last 20 years in smaller venues with little interest.

Dude, you shouldn't have left. They gave at least one ticket to everyone in line

Seems like GA Lawn tickets have settle at $150 to $200 per ticket. Lawn tickets are $70 face with around $10 service charges. Not a bad price at 2.25 times face. Could be more ugly with scalpers. I see very few tickets for sale with inside seating. Don't understand why. I guess there are so few. Peace out........
