true, the prices are jacked and warren...meh. but given the health status of the remaining members of the dead, every tour could be the last ever. gotta take that into consideration, hence i will be at both albany and worcester

I know that I\'m going get crucified for this comment, but, without Jerry, it isn\'t the Dead. I\'d rather pay $$ to P&F than to see the remaining living members try to regain some of their glory days... :duck:

these prices are bullshit. i doubt i will go to any of the shows because i really don\'t agree with the cost of going. my parents offered to get me some tickets to a few of the shows when the tour was announced (before the prices were up) as a graduation gift, but the price now is just obscene. this sucks. i\'ll probably have more fun seeing dso or phil anyway.

I was able to grab tickets to Greensboro yesterday. $204 later, I have 2 tickets in lower section seating 113, row W, 7-8. Not too shabby, i\'m not thrilled with the prices but like kartoon said, every tour could be the last. I\'ll get it while I can.

wow,
these tickets are a G.D. ripoff.
the big bear himself would never let this happen.

Jeeez I just noticed this. I\'m not made of this kinda cash.. I doubt I can even afford to go. Maybe I\'ll see the geezers at Vibes or something. Could care less about Warren anyway... dude can absolutely not play Jerry. Hell, get the Jerry-dude from DSO to do it at least he actually knows the style and isn\'t a ****.

whats done is done though, and looks like I won\'t be seeing it :/

Keep droppin those sick Dead covers I\'d rather hear Breakfast totally destroy em than see Warren dance all over Jerry\'s grave.

I ended up getting the $68 dollar seats for the show @ the XL Center in Hartford. Come to find out the floor, lower level and first half of the second level were all $98 seats. My seats are SEC 214 (1/2 way back from the stage) and are in row AA!?!? Thats were the cheap seats start... I think it only goes as high as GG if I remeber. That\'s rediculous but I\'m there to listen... its not like its a killer light show or anything I guess.

I\'ll just wait till Ratdog plays another free show in Golden Gate Park.

not to rain on your parade but my understanding was that all less expensive seats this tour are obstructed view. I hope for your sake I am wrong but that is my understanding. Like behind the stage.

I dont think they are... section 214 is in the like mid court... just up high. So unless they\'ve had to put up some pillars to hold the place up (which it probably needs) I think I should be ok... either way, the ticket prices are pretty bunk.

I have a hypothetical for everyone, feel free to tackle it:

It is January 2029. You are 20 years older than you are today. Trey is dead. A guitar player that you like (it can even be Tim) joins Page, Fishman, and Mike, and they tour playing Phish songs. All seats are $150 each. Do you go?

Depends on what the inflation over time is... if thats the standard price for a band doing reuinon tours at that point in time... I\'d consider it. As far as ticket prices in the present... Probably not.

he Dead will be playing a one hour set, and said that before they could play, they had to get security clearance through a background check.

LOL. the people most responsible for flooding the country w/ LSD in the 60\'s need a background check.

Well don\'t forget for a good chunk of the 60\'s LSD was totally legal.
