A friend and I were going to try for the MSG tix, and I got through for two seats. I’m waiting to hear from my friend to see if he got any. If I find out he did, I’ll be selling mine (or he’ll be selling his) and let you guys know.
Did you ever think that maybe I didn’t mean that literally? Nah…I meant it literally, but it was a joke.
The fact that some of you live within a few hours from these shows and aren’t buying tickets to see the goddamn Dead is very disheartening to me. The closest show to me is about an 18 hour drive and I’m still considering it. I paid more than any of those ticket prices to see Prince back in 2004 and I don’t remember the money at all, but I do remember seeing one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
Not so disheartening if you’ve had the chance to see them before…plus, I’ve got too much money tied up in potential Phish shows to sweat the Dead tix. I want 'em, but I guess I just don’t want them bad enough.
I feel the same way. Even though I’ve only technically seen the Dead once, and it was in knee-deep mud at Bonnaroo, I’m cool with that. I’ve also seen Phil and Ratdog enough times to be satisfied.
Phish means infinitely more to me than any post-Jerry Dead project. Priorites. Plain and simple.
I was considering the Buffalo show, but not anymore. The only band I’d even consider paying $100 to see would be Phish, but even then I’d have to think about it.
^ Right. As it is, for $100 I should be able to get a ticket to see Phish @ Star Lake, pay for all my gas it takes to drive there & back, get something to eat at the show, and buy a T-shirt.
Shit, I got Dead tickets yesterday for 50 bucks (Charlottesville va) and a hotel at the Marriot for $75 (split $150 with friend). $125 to see the dead AND stay in a NICE hotel one hour from me does not seem like a bad deal at all. Bring my Dead number of shows to somewhere in the thirties.
