in the past, when it was the grateful dead, the mail order was not necessarily better seats...but sometimes....sometimes!!! 

for example, i scored 5th row center for brent's last show in chicagoland, and 10th row, stage right at the first soldier field show... but it was totally random....and i used to exclusively do the mail order in those days.  mostly, the seats were average to not so great..but all i wanted was to get in the door...

I have a ticket stub for 10/28/77
I dont really recall it. All I have is a vague recollection of a "Tennessee Jed" that seemed to last forever!

Did you go through dead.net?? I just got tix for the Worcester, Mass show. I don't know how I did it, but there were tix available.

So what's the deal with mail order tickets? Do you get better seats this way, or is this just for people that don't have or want to use credit cards??

I got tickets for the 4/19 show at the DCU Center!! Balcony, but they seem like ok — Row B. Hopefully that means the second row in the section...

he said he had some trouble, too...wanted floor seats, and they kept saying he could only order one...so we got nose bleed seats...but at least we're in the door for chicago on 5/5!
must go to bed...good luck!!!

I tried to order tickets online just now, and could only order one. Maybe I will do that just in case I don't get mail order ones??

pre-sale started today....aren't you on the email list?
edit: sign up at dead.net....it's the "e" version of the old dead head mail list.
(remember those cool newsletters we used to get back in the 70's and 80's? i miss that....)

schlabby got our tickets ordered today. you could ask him how it worked.
i don't know if he bought them on line, or on the phone.
aside from the mail order, and the pre-sale, the on sale date is 1/24, i think.

Is the mail order route the only way to get tickets right now?? No payment by credit card by phone??

If anybody asked me to be the Dead's keyboard player, I'd have second thoughts...  What is this... the fourth one who's died?

my first show was 1978, too (5/6/78)! my parents made me wait til i was 16!
my last was...the last show, soldier field 7/9/95.
i also saw the Other Ones at least a couple of times, went to the local dates for furthur festival, and i attended the one time only terrapin station: a grateful dead family reunion, up at alpine valley.

it was my brother who turned me on to music in general, but the dead in particular, when i was a kid.
he played american beauty for me when it was released, and that was all she wrote.

yeah, brent was phenomenal, but vinnie grew on me.

but, right now....i think i need to go play "live dead"—-st stephen into the eleven, in particular. yes. yes, i do.
