The band says Happy New Year with an announcement of almost twenty shows in April and May. More details to come!
Can't wait to shake them bones
Took me an hour and a half but managed to snag floor seats for Greensboro. I did the mail order for a few others. Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile (and pray)!
40 mins of waiting for pages to load
and still got the floor in virginia, 17 rows back. Upper level in D.C though. All happend by fate i guess, was clicking blind. All the buttons were red x's and some of the boxes were blacked out. If this aint the deads last tour its mine though, would hate to see what the next tours gonna cost.
just keep clicking
gave up at 12:30 way too slow!!!! went back on and just got two for sec 121 row b for dcu center
Scurge of the day: stubhub, ebay gots em.
Count me as another who tried the presale to no avail. Relying on MO now.
I took a peek at stubhub. This is THE DAY of the presale, and already:
131 tickets for Albany
387 tickets for MSG
and the prices are well above the $60 to $100 face.
many of these $300 outrages will sell, meaning some wahoo makes money for doin nothin.
many scalpers will be stuck with some tix, meaning empty seats at the show. a travesty.
I say: make ALL TICKETS HELD at WILL CALL. this shuts down the scalpers.
easy for me
i have been reading alot about how evry one had such a hard time getting tickets......als i did was log on the site at 11...waited at 12 i clicked buy tickets..it did take along time for each screen to open ......it took me about 25 minutes from begining to end....then at about 1:30 i loged on again to get ticket for my son cause i wasn't sure if he needed one so i got one just in case and it only took 5 minutes....i feel bad for all the people who got all flustered and didn't read each screen to click on the right button.....i got 3 for greensboro....thank you guys for touring
Total Failure
I had every problem known to man this morning, and after 2.5 hours, got nothing. Now the Shoreline show is sold out and I'm pissed. Of course, when I saw the $475 VIP tickets, I knew we were in trouble. I saw Phil and Bobby on 12/30 and was fired up, and now I'm so pissed I don't think I'll ever be back. Total failure by the band and the sycophants that surround them.
Whats with these ticket prices
These ticket prices are bull shit!!!!!!!! $200 for nose bleed. Shame on the Dead for letting the ticket promoters jack these prices up. i hope they loose there asses on these tickets. money hungry mother fuckers.
Still L.A. tickets available
I'm flying from Tampa to L.A. to see the boys in my old home town. Good chance to catch up with old friends. Take a trip if your town is sold out. You'll only miss the money til next pay day, just suck it up.
I tried but to no avail -
I tried but to no avail - did MO instead.
Checking Ebay - there's over 200 listings so far for tickets... F*ckers!
I SAY EVERYONE SHOULD REPLY TO ALL THE EBAY LISTINGS THAT HAVE "OR BEST OFFER" AND BID $5 FOR THEM.
If everyone did we would be a bit of pain the their ass just like they are to us.
OMG complain, complain,
OMG complain, complain, complain...complaining about the prices....complaining about the ticketing. Get over it. Prices go up...everything goes up! You can't seriously expect to pay the same prices as 15-20 years ago. So you might only get to see one show instead of three. It is better than none at all! Be happy they are touring. Thank you boys! See you in Chicago!
damn
a lot of negativity in this thread....
floor seats were $98 for the show in DC and I think it's a pretty fair price for the music/experience you will get to witness & be a part off. Unfortunately, people make a living off of scalping tickets online for these high-demand shows...understandable for the public sales but for special pre-sales such as this one, they should most definitely hold the tickets at will call for the true fans & ones who will actually be attending the show~
Man you guys are brutal
It sounds to me like you all haven't been to a concert since the 80's. I saw Ratdog this summer and it cost about $70 for a ticket, don't you think it will be a bit more if the whole band gets back together?? Any time these old guys get back together the price is high. Hell we saw AC/DC this fall and that show was $120 a seat/ every seat even nose bleeds. When it is all said and done and you look back on it you aren't going to care how much money you spent. If you want to see some of these bands that's what it costs, stop crying about it. You can't go to a show for $15 anymore get with the times!!
I will admit that the ticket purchasing was a joke but I have seen worse. If they would have used Ticketmaster for the pre-sale there wouldn't have been all these problems. But then you all would cry about Ticketmaster fees, so it's a no-win situation.
"Everybody's braggin' and drinking that wine, I can tell the queen of diamonds by the way she shines. Come to daddy on an inside straight, well I've got no chance of losing this time"
I can't??
I can't go to a show for 15$ no more??
really? you sure?
I thought most of these tix were like $10.04 or $9.80 I thought they was putting on some really cheap shows like back in the old daze. shit, looking here, I see people talking about 98$ ninety eight? or 100$ one hundred?!! did I read the tix sales thing wrong?? man oh man, my credit card is gonna be maxed out for the next 20 years...
yuk yuk yuk...
( -;
try that site again, folks, Nassau nose bleed opened up even though a few hours ago they said they didn't have 'em. still gonna try for MSG and Sat. nite in Philly like that again and again and again... for the deep pocket heads, the 350$ VIP for MSG also sold out.
peace.
Gonna be a good convo!
Cant wait to talk to the people who just bought the seats right next to me off stub hub for $400 more than i paid for mine. Maybe they can buy me a beer with all their money, or maybe i'll be buying them beer cause they just spent all theirs.
Future dates to come?
So what do you think are the odds they add some more shows in the Summer? I'm in Indianapolis and the closest show was the Chicago, which I was all set to go too, but then I realized that college finals are that week, so a no go there. I'm hoping at the very least they play Bonnaroo, which I plan on attending, and maybe add some shows in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, or Tennessee. Here is to hoping! I'm sure no one would be disappointed to see more dates.
check out buffalo's prices
where you guys finding these prices. check out Buffalo's prices they are through the roof. up to $2500.00 for floor. Buuuuuuuuuuuuull shit
Agree to disagree
After 25 years of following the GD all over, I see it as one thing: A real treat to have the opportunity to see the core remaining four. It isn't about price, difficulty, availability, which service sells the tix, etc. etc. If you want to be there and it is meant to be, you will. Heck, these guys are all heading to 70 yrs. old, what do you want, a free show? When do you think they will return? Find a way or fly away.
My first show= $4.50 (11/6/70).
My teen's (recently a self-proclaimed Deadhead) first show =$100.25 (4/18/09).
The EXPERIENCE= PRICELESS!
Complaining! I'm not buying
Complaining! I'm not buying the 2 tickets on Ebay for Denver Section 144 Row 9 - Next To Stage - with a starting bid of $1400 or a buy it now price of $1899... So I guess I have no reason to complain. I sent my mail order!
Complaining - Are You Freaking Kidding Me!
not looking for hand outs
but come on! i would love to pay $100.25. But no. $200 for the worst seat in the house. i won't be truckin to buffalo :(
Yeah, it is too bad
i was going to la show for 50 bucks, i can afford that, barely, but no tix available at that price. it wasn't even posted except on the announcments. Oh well, it's a tape night for me. Its not the same anyways, Just keep the good memories I have of a time much better than today and move on.
Can't Wait.....
I have to say that the Penn State Show rocked in October...I never did get to see the boys when Jerry was here. Today was crazy with trying to get tix but luck was on my side.. for Albany & Buffalo. My 12yo daughter is going to her first show...can't wait. We'll be in our twirl skirts...dancing. See you all there!
**Love & Peace Makes Life Grand**
Patience and ingenuity
pays off. I logged on 20 minutes early with no problem, but logged off to do some work, When I tried to log on again I had the same problems as everyone else, but this tour is IMPORTANT. The guys are all in their 60's (like me) so we never know when it will be the last tour and i will not take a chance on missing this and kept trying till I got on. I agree the tickets were a little pricey, but I feel they are worth it. Most big name groups are getting 30 - 50 for cheap seats and 50 - 100 for good seats so this wasn't too out of line. I did have a problem with paying top price for seats in the third level, although I would have taken anything. But I ran the numbers on cost of tickets, hotel, tee shirts and parking. and it was within about $20 of Deluxe travel package price which had seats on first level up, so I opted for that. Worth 20 bucks more (10 per ticket ) to me for good saeats. I hope we all get many more tours and hope to see some of ya in Charlottesville.
PS I also agree on Ticketmaster being more user friendly, and their fees are usually less also.
RE Yeah, it is too bad
There is still $50 tickets available to the L.A. show spaceboy, go get them
y'know...
bummers for those folks who missed out on tix, but I'd say keep trying, they're bound to release more. As for those folks bitching about prices... have you looked at what other bands charge these days? And I'm talking bands who tour every year. I don't need to be front row thanks, I know what these cats look like; $50 for a lawn or GA nosebleed's nothin' these days. As for me, I waited like Christmas morning for those pages to load up at noon and it paid off in the form of Chicago-Denver-Shoreline tour!!!! Can't afford it but I'll be there anyway, can't wait to see y'all!
Albany to Worcester, or Nassau to Hartford?
Which will be the hotter three night tour?
I'll say it again...where's the love???
It's gotten all negative around here again. Let's think positive people, they're playing again, together, that's all that matters!!!! I can't wait!
KEEP CHECKING!!!!
There are tons of tickets available and more coming available every minute!! Yes, even lowers!All of your Philly heads who don't want to pay $100 for 400level, take a drive to WB. There are still good lowers there.
If you keep checking the ticket site, you might get what you are looking for but you have to keep at it. I saw single floors for MSG a few minutes ago and then POOF! they were gone. Also floors for other shows and good lowers, but they only last a minute, obviously.
southerntam
I agree....this is going to just be amazing....what a great start to the Summer Concert Season in early Spring....
I was ready at 9am est, this morning - at 12n I was on the order page and it sent me out to the wait list until 245pm then I was lucky enough to land Albany - tried again and got the tix for Buffalo - my coworkers knew this was so important they even tried - that's love
*Love & Peace Make Life Grand*
my head is still dizzy
I got 4 for Chicago but I still don't know how it happened. I feel like I just survived a bad accident. My head hurts. I'm happy about seeing the boys but this nighmare experience has taken the life out of me right now. I feel bad for everyone who got shut out.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bluebean...
I was all set as well...credit card propped up, 4 windows open to Dead.net, email, deadtix and the forum lol. At 9 the system jammed and I couldn't get to dead.net, dead tix kept telling me there was an error...finally around 930 I got into the order section but was redirected cuz all the floor seats were gone. Finally around 10 I got 2 lodge, decent, and was done. It was pretty chaotic with the overwhelming amount of people on, but I just sat back and tried to be as patient as possible. I can't wait for May!!!
Thank you eikoeiko
So happy now, got my two tix to LA for around 50 each. I gave up hope but thanks to eikoeiko for pointing me in the right direction. Did not take long at all either. Thanks again
I want to party with you...
southerntam!! You and your buds get the vibe. Might have to go to Cali for a show and hang with you positive party people. See the Vibe. Be the Vibe.
Tell the folks back home, this is the promise land calling.
And the poor boy is on the line.
"Oh if a man tried
To take his time on earth
And prove before he died
What one man's life could be worth
I wonder what would happen
To this world."
We got tickets!
terrapin11
So excited that we have tickets for both nights at Worcester!! Earning a living kept us from trying any earlier than 6PM EST, so we consider ourselves very lucky!
Husband's seen the dead many times, but I never have, so I'm just crazy happy!
I've seen 6 Ratdog shows, which were great, but I'm really, really excited about these shows!
ticket prices
can't put a price on a good time!!! Might as Well, ain't ever had such a good time in my life before
I am happy that some had a good experience
I feel better to see that some had a good experience, I didn't! In the end just to get tickets to Chicago I paid 436$ It includes hotel-but I am not happy:( If my husband finds out how much money I spent I will be in the DAWG house--
awesome spaceboy
I am so stoked, i had two tickets in my cart this afternoon, for like 200 bucks and emptied the cart. Couldn't do it. I've seen the GD a ton of times, so it wasn't that big a deal. Then i just happened to go back and look cause i didn't want to miss another. Walaaa! There they were! Just saw ratdog in fla last month, now have a new show to lok forward to!
I wonder what I did wrong
maybe it is just the luck of the draw-I have seen The Other Ones, Phil and Friends, and Ratdog all within the first 5 rows or floor-maybe it was somebody else turn :( I just REALLY love to see the core four play together!!!
wort time ever
what the hell are they thinking. $100 a ticket for the worst seat in the house. Penn state was $50 and they played with the Allman Brothers. This is all a bunch of bullshit. I hope Bobby is happy cause we all know he's the reason tickets are expensive
here is the love
hey southertam, johnyrock41, who ever else is stoked about this tour .......THANKS FOR THE GOOD VIBES
Musictoday just wasn't ready
What a nightmare that experience was. Ticketmaster catches a lot of grief but at least they work. After spending 15 minutes or so just getting logged on to the musicsomeday system I finally had a couple of the Chicago cheap seats in my cart but the site failed to load the checkout page correctly - I tried for 1/2 hour before I had to give up, that whole "I've got a job" thing. Came back a couple of hours later, logged back on and the tickets were still in my cart, and the checkout page loaded up correctly, took my address and credit card info, clicked confirm and was informed that the tickets were no longer available. Thanks for letting me know, morons. Empty the cart, try again and of course all the affordable seats are sold out.
My guru, who is much more well-off than I, took over the ticket acquisition duty and got us a pair of the arm-and-a-leg tickets. He says the whole thing was a sign that Jerry wanted us to have good seats. Guru is holding me to attending that Cubs game, too.
Guru is very demanding.
See you in Chi-town!
