ok....that is news to me...thank you....

and yeah, mail ordering was kind of a pain, but we got some great seats that way over the years, in the old days...

I allways thought the mail-order was purposfully time-consuming for the buyer in order to discourage scalpers.

and mail order is a drag, have to follow all the directions perfect or else they toss your order.....     they said they go on sale at 12:00est.

they always did mail order before.....and, if you have free time to actually go get the money order and go to the post office, it works great....

no answers yet....dammit.....but i would imagine that the phone in has to take credit cards.

so are they having mail order or are they doing it on the phone at 12:00?   and if so then how are they not using credit card.  and how is doing mail order reducing the carbon footprint?

and what a pain in the ars mail order was, and why don't they do lottery like Phish is if ...   I don't know, why on earth are they doing mail order!

No... seriously I didn't.

I'm so wired!

I don't have a date so I'm gonna take that extra ticket and wait until one of those really lame deadheads comes around whining about "I need a miracle" and then I'm gonna give it to him/her.  Just for old tyme sake!

You knuckleheads could reduce your carbon footprint even more if you'd accept credit cards!

unfortunately, mail ordering involves being free to go to the post office, get the money order, and make sure that your out-going envelope will be post marked with the first date of the mail order availability. those of us who work all day can't do that.
and yowza....$100 per ticket....

this is what my friend said:

As for The Dead, they are playing the Garden Saturday, April 25th.  I'm ONLY going in for that lottery even though they will be playing other venues Nearby.  The dead.net site, I cant find details of the presale tickets except that presale starts this Tuesday.  So, I recommend both you and I trying to win that lottery for 4 tix.  Register and create a login ahead of time, ahead of Tuesday!!!   I just did it today.
