phorbesie Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Latest update 2/23/15We’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 TOO2.23.15“Some days the gales are howlingSome days the sea is still as glass”John Barlow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Not to sound ungrateful, but if I'm reading this correctly I won't find out until June whether my order was filled for one, two, or all three nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Ya I don't think that's ungrateful at all...it is marginally better information than not knowing anything which is where I (and surprisingly quite a few) still seem to be at. Perhaps the fact I haven't received said email is indication though. Having said all that congratulations!!! That is exciting. But I would personally like to know which nights my order were fulfilled for prior to the general onsale (and certainly well well before June). That's a lot of money to just have tied up with so much uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 One month before the show?? That is rather poorly executed considering the amount of people who will surely need to plan travel arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Plus for many that is a central factor in the feasibility or "cost/benefit" analysis. Not to make it all about money and costs but these are real concerns for many people who have already stretched themselves beyond their means in the hopes of being a part of something so special. When making the decision as to whether one can realistically afford to shell out all that it would cost to make the trip knowing whether they are partaking in 1 show as opposed to 3 shows is a pretty important variable.

phorbesie Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 We were able to check the money orders on the phone and it looks like all were cashed so it appears we got all 3 nights. Very grateful! I hope that others here receive their emails soon also! bradm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Congrats you two!! I will hold out hope and glad to hear that they at least process the orders so you can find out that way. Eeeeeeek. Well debacle or not they sure have created some incredible hype!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 FCUK YA ! I only sent in one envelope, so I am assuming I got all 12 tix (4 /night) that I requested. ...stokedCongratulations! Your order will be filled for the Grateful Dead 50th Reunion performances at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL on July 3, 4, 5, 2015. If you only sent in one envelope then your whole order will be filled. If you sent in more then one envelope, we can only guarantee that at lease one of your orders has been filled. We cannot give you the date of which order was chosen at this time. Your commemorative tickets will arrive in June. Please hold all emails. Check gdtstoo.com for the latest updates.

edger Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Good luck everyone. Still in limbo land. No rejection, no confirmation email, nothing processed on the money orders. Still have some shreds of hope given no update has been provided by grateful dead ticketing. But putting my hat into the fray soon nonetheless and hoping the universe treats me kindly.

edger Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Aaaah...been debating back and forth on whether to go for best available or GA floors.

Hard because we can't even really see what all the options are right now other than the seating plan I'm still "searching for tickets" but am starting to dream about the other things I'll be able to do with that money and time if I don't score tickets.

Schwa. Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 FWIW I'll be trying to secure a locale that has both a projector, liquor license and high speed internet to have a couch tour-llike party around here. watching a screen here with perfect sound will be better than sitting in a gigantic stadium to watch a screen and struggle to hear it in chicago, IMHO.

mark tonin Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 A cool idea Schwa. I will keep this in mind as an alternative plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 That's what I'm talking about Schwa. I saw a post on facebook today saying to stay tuned for something special for those without tickets so sounds like a couch tour event if I ever heard one. Maybe a good time to have some folks up to point clark a la bonfire/ with lots of room for camping in my yard and lake swimming. Running past the boss now.

boiler Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Required no convincing at all, got the approval. Wonder if anyone has a projector and we could play it on the side of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Well, I figure if people are asking in the 10's of thousands range on stub hub for the actually show, I could probably get $500 bucks or so for a couch tour ticket just put it in the mail if you want to come, I only accept envelopes made with blotter paper though.

Marcust99 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 UPDATE: Fare Thee Well organizers have posted the following statement:Thank you to all of the Deadheads for the amazing support that you have shown for the Fare Thee Well shows in Chicago! This morning you broke Ticketmaster's on-sale record when nearly half a million of you queued up to buy tickets. If you do not have tickets, please know that we are working on various ways to help everyone experience these shows in a way that will help you share this special moment with us. Stay tuned, and thank you for showing your love, we feel it!I doubt that 500k people, but perhaps connections, or people with multiple devices/browsers open. Still a staggering number.
