Seems like the only ones that scored today were ones that tried for the 3 day passes that were all limited or restricted view.

I struck out with 2 separate devices and accounts. My bro got thru twice so im good to go. But funny shit he got thru twice while I had twice the opportunity but couldn't get thru. His trick was to do 2 tickets per all 3 shows, instead of 4 like I tried.

I suppose we will here one of my favs, jack straw.

I scored a single ticket- at face value when they went on sale- for each night. Two second levels in the end zone and a first level- same spot. I cannot believe I got them! I am so, so excited for these shows...I am driving out on June 30 in order to enjoy Chicago for a few days before the shows. I am going solo-style as my friends can't make it out. Can't wait!!

I'm gonna miss this one. Sucks, but idk. I have a feeling this show might end up being a bunch of rich kid fuck-up trustafarians from NJ/NY/MD/CT on their way to some bassneck or davici show, whatever that shit is.

Or I could just be missing out on most likely the final and greatest Dead performance ever with the whole fam coming from all over.

Dear Heads,

Although none of us knew it when we walked off the stage at Soldier Field on July 9, 1995, the Grateful Dead's long strange trip ended in Chicago that night. As you are aware, twenty years later, we’re returning to Chicago to properly say Fare Thee Well.

But every good ending must start with a beginning. For us, it all began fifty years ago when we grabbed a bunch of instruments off the walls of a music store in Palo Alto California and began banging away on them in the back room, at night after the store had closed for the day.

Since we made the decision to go back to Chicago to say our final goodbye, it has become clear to us that we first need to return to our beginnings, where we first said hello — to each other and to all of you.

And so it is that we have decided to plug in for two additional shows on June 27 and 28 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California — just a dozen miles south of where Dana Morgan’s Music Store once stood. At Levi’s — as at Soldier Field — we will have the pleasure of being joined by Trey Anastasio, Bruce Hornsby and Jeff Chimenti.

Ours wasn’t just a long, strange trip — it was a VERY long, VERY strange trip. We weren’t sure what it was going to be like to put a punctuation mark on the end of it. None of us anticipated the overwhelming outpouring of love and interest following our initial announcement of the shows at Soldier Field, and we were blown away by the response.

We have tried to do the right thing wherever we could for the Chicago shows by honoring the roots of where we came from, while dealing with the realities of the current times. But that’s hardly comforting when you’re shit outta luck for tickets and your only option is inflated prices on secondary ticketing websites. That would piss us off too.

From the moment these shows were first talked about, we have been thinking about what we could do to honor the roots of our Deadhead experience, even in the face of changing technologies. (Remember: Ticketmaster didn’t even go online until we got out of the game.) These shows were always intended as an expression of our gratitude, to both the music and the fans, so it’s important that we get things as right as we can.

We have always been proud of our in-house mail order ticketing process, and the phenomenal way our fans have built a tradition out of turning a standard envelope into a frame-worthy piece of art. Some 60,000 mail order tickets were issued for the Soldier Field shows by the good folks at Grateful Dead Ticket Sales — yet we were still crushed to see how many of your beautifully designed envelopes did not get tickets.

For shows of this magnitude, it’s impossible to eliminate every scalper. However, we offer you this: Working with our partners, we are using an online ticketing platform for the Levi’s shows that will help ensure that the tickets for these shows will get into the right hands, the hands of our true fans. We believe that this process is the best way to give each of you an equal opportunity to obtain tickets at the most affordable possible prices. We are are proud to announce that 65,000 tickets per night will be available via the "online mail order" for the Levi’s shows. For the nuts and bolts, go to Dead50.net.

We will not be adding any more Fare Thee Well shows. The three Chicago shows will still be our final stand. We decided to add these two Santa Clara shows to enable more of our fans to celebrate with us one more time. But this is it.

We love you guys more than words can tell, and hope to see you in the Bay Area or Chicago. If you can’t make it to the shows, we are working on ways for you to still experience our Fare Thee Well, from wherever you might be. Stay tuned for those details.

Gratefully yours,

Billy, Bobby, Mickey & Phil

I didn't either. Actually, I did not try. I think it is great the guys are doing one(or two) last hoorahs. I am also sure the atmosphere will be a lot of fun. I just cant put out the kinda cash it would take for me to travel from the southeast to these events to see my favorite members in my not so favorite version of a band play a huge stadium with horrible acoustics and enough people talking(yelling, screaming, etc..) to not even hear the horrible acoustics. I am not trying to be a downer, as I have seen a few of the re-incarnations(The Dead, TOO) ad did enjoy it somewhat. I just prefer the side projects they do in more intimate settings more. Further was fun though. Hopefully everyone that goes will have a blast and it will be a great experience for them.
