Bout the Shoreline ticket. Galpal here Mona has a lawn ticket for me, so not only did I get my miracle plane ticket, but got a show ticket a few hours later! Am beside myself at this good fortune. Fucking unbelievable!
Deadnet the kindest place in the world!

Pre-Sale Ticket Sales--I Agree with OneGreatfulDad (A couple of posts back)...I was on the Dead.net site 2 hours before Pre-Sale started and it was only because I did that I could even get to the buying area (After waiting in the "Waiting Area" for two hours!)...
Notice--The email I got was not very informative...It did not say anything about mail-order and kind of implied that we have to go through the website to order tix. The Dead.net website wasn't very informative. I felt like a Wharf-rat in a maze with a bunch of Dead ends. (after being 'ready' for 2 hours)...And there was no notice of mail-order at all!
Access--The Dead.net server was all clogged up and the ticket server was also clogged up so finally after hours I got the seats they gave me-nosebleed seats on the Phil side behind the stage!!(On the Pepsi Center map it shows them as out of bounds!!)
The Waiting Area-- has instructions specifying not to reload this page or you will lose your place in line...Then it goes on to reload the page every minute or so automatically (WTF!) Eventually kicking me off the server completely (thereby theoretically losing my place "in line")...???
Choosing seats--In another browser tab I continued to search for seats and finally got through to the buying website. (2 hours after sales opened!) When I finally got to order tickets, I clicked on the venue link to see where they were on the map-big mistake! (Meanwhile I was still 'waiting in line' in the 'waiting area' in another tab)
The Map-Pepsi Center has separate seating charts for each show (But none posted for The Dead) So I checked the Seating for the Metallica show (which was in the round) ...By the time I go to the Pepsi Center/Denver website and find the seating chart I get back to the ordering page and my seats were gone (or it got rid of me because I was too slow) (This was the first set of seats, this happened 3 times before I got seats) Not to mention that the seats I first got (section c) were not even listed on the map! (there were Sections CCC and CC but I didn't find C!)
Choice-It was you get these seats and you don't get any other choice (you get the seats we give you-one shot!)-no choice/for a hundred bucks!?!...before the sale, The faq on dead.net specifically says that you can order more tickets if you go through the process again (Which I tried to no avail)...
Ticket Allotment--and you are supposedly allotted 6 tickets per order (that was not the case, after getting one set of tickets you cannot go back and get more)...
So in the end, I found the GDTSTOO website and sent for mail-order tix...and I'm praying for a 'miracle seat'to replace my Phil Zone Nosebleeds!! I can only imagine how others did at this...
Gorkinoff (Deadhead Forever!)
P.S. Then there is the 1000 miles I have to drive from South Dakota to Denver! (Can't wait to see all you guys there!!!)
Goin' down the road feelin' bad...Don' wanna be treated this a-way...Woohoo!
Grateful Dead Ticket Sales will be honoring mail order requests. You still might be lucky with postmark 1/14, if you neglected to do one today. On 1/23 Ticketmaster will be offering tickets too.
When I started going to Grateful Dead shows in 1972 it was not uncommon to show up at the last minute and still end up leaning on the stage in front of Bobby, Jerry or Phil. Back then, Donna was very mezmerizing and impressive with her stage presence. I encourage all of you to keep trying to acquire tickets, so you can witness the music playing the band.
Nassau nose bleed available through that site, still now.
please try again!
I have 2 for Friday May 1st 2009 at the spectrum I'm looking to trade for Saturday May 2. 2009
With Papa in Grad school and me now a stay at home mom (both teachers), we're just looking for the cheaper seats [or a kind miracle ;^) ] to enjoy the show. I could chime in with the rest about costs but in reality, everyone is in a tuff place right now. If you have Albany extras, please shoot me a msg.
Thanks.
Peace, Love & Light-Kim
I went through the nightmare of the pre-sale tickets also. I finally won after an hour and three computers later! Only problem is I got an extra set just to be safe. So now I have an extra set of floor seats for sale. I'm only asking face value plus the service costs and shipping. It's section C row 42. PM me if you are interested.

Anyone have tix for the May 5th show is chicago, I missed out on the presale
