Big Wooly Mammoth Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 that best western is sold out. otherwise, $200 a night. places are taking advantage of these shows. I'm looking for an apartment to rent for the few days. let me know if anybody is looking for a place to stay. found a 3 bedroom condo for $300 a night. that's probably the best value for money.

PassedOutGuy Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 So if you score and someone backs out Bones.... Im there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rary8 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I think this is going to be a hard ticket. I ordered 2 for each night plus a pair for a Psychedelic Fridays contest.. I likely will be at the rainbow gathering before this show, go to chicago and then return to the rainbow for clean up.. I was hoping they would gather in VT this year, but now I'm routing for Up State Michigan or WI. Regardless I'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 And the best breakfast place in town is called...?ann sathers. trying for tix as well. i liked the nostalgic feel to the process, brought back good memories of doing MO for the dead. i was inconvenienced by the decision to not just go online. but i appreciate the idea that the MO didnt have a big chunk of tix, and won't really affect people's TM and other chances; but i also recognize that there may actually still be grateful dead fans out there who dont use computers and this is a kind decision to give them a chance too. dunno. do know im excited about it. very.

c-towns Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Looks like 60,000+ mail orders postponed the official ticket sale release for the July 4th "Fare Thee Well" shows back two weeks, to February 28th Updated here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 No pre-sale now either...I would imagine a few people will have something to say about that. While it probably bodes better for me or anyone that did decide to go for mail order I'm surprised they would change their process after the fact.

c-towns Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Fare Thee Well co-promoter Peter Shapiro's Relix Magazine reveals that the 60,000+ envelopes are "requesting an estimated 350,000+ tickets for the three nights." We knew these shows would be popular with fans, but not to that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcust99 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 So now for the "final" shows in July they've made the entire field G/A and no seats. There will still be a pit (for $99 and only avail via GDTS) but the area behind this pit will be "g/a field".Not sure I wanna spend well over $200 a night per ticket just to stand on a football field crammed in like cattle. CouchTour in my basement is sounding much more attractive right now. Especially with that bad state of the Canadian dollar. Everything is +25% now... People have started to receieve rejection letters, yes letters, from GTDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 $200 standing tickets behind $99 standing tickets!?! Obviously Wavy Gravy is running this operation... Nitro Compression 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcust99 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Reading a lot about how people think the travel packages are "cheap". What I'm confused about and I think others think - are that the prices include tickets. I don't think they do. Take for instance the first one on the page - the Hyatt Regency " $1,425 + Applicable Ticketing Fees". While that's a "2 person package" it doesn't list if the price is FOR 2 people or per person.Well 2x3 night tickets alone are over $1200 and that hotel is easily $300 a night, so how could the whole shebang be $1425? Makes no sense.http://www.cidentertainment.com/events/gratefuldead50/travel-packages/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-towns Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Pit tix would come to $600, the hotels on the day the show was announced were only $179 a night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Don't get me wrong, I am totally confused by everything about this. I wonder if their return policy is out the window now that they have changed everything so many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 It reads 1425 for 2 people for 3 nights and 2 tickets to each show and you can choose from 2 packages, one being the GA pit and the other being Reserved seats. "Workingman's Dead" 3-night GA Travel Package for 2 People$1,425 + Applicable Ticketing Fees "Workingman's Dead" 3-night Reserved Travel Package for 2 People$1,545 + Applicable Ticketing Fees The real question is "How much are these applicable ticketing fees going to run me?" So for those of you "totally confused" I have one thing to say Stay in school, kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
