so if you have not received a winner’s email from us by the on-sale date, you may want to consider on line ticket sales to increase your chances.
?

they seriously think that using TM increases your chances of getting a ticket?

A bunch of people who already mail ordered also buying tickets on Ticketmaster certainly increases the odds of them selling more tickets.

I'm sure folks will have a lot of fun. I think I'll try to attend the San Francisco Giant versus Washington Nationals game in San Francisco on August 16th celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Grateful Dead. Hopefully Phil will be doing something at Terrapin Crossroads that same week.

I bet I can good a Grateful Dead related vacation for less than the cost, in blood and treasure, than the Chicago phenomena will cost.

Good Luck getting a ticket for THAT...........600 seat venue in the Bay area, the Dead's home base.

I've been watching. It looks like ticket availability revolves around the "Friends" playing with Phil.

It is a pressing concern.

At least I have Lockn' and I might have a better shot seeing Phil at the Capitol.

Got this in my inbox yesterday:

"We’ve been submerged in a sea of mail and are coming up for a breath of air to give you an update on where we stand right now. We are 75% of the way processing all of the orders, working 24/7 to get your money orders back to you. There were many, many times more order requests than anyone imagined, thousands and thousands with beautiful art. We are trying to let as many folks as possible know their status before the onsale date. Emails will go out to the winners starting in the next two days. Your chances of receiving tickets from us are 1 in 10, so if you have not received a winner’s email from us by the on-sale date, you may want to consider on line ticket sales to increase your chances.

Tickets will be mailed out in June.

Please do not email us at this time as we will not be able to answer your inquiry.

Okay, we are taking a deep breath and going back under.

The crew of GDTS TOO"

I already went.
But I do hope you and everybody who wants can go and get a great show.
I will try to hit some smaller stuff if they get local.
