I have been let down and disappointed by the lack of availability of tickets for this show and all the shows associated with the Grateful Dead and the ending of their touring together.Anyone who is a fan of the Dead would love to be in Chicago for the final concert.But tickets went fast I dont think anyone I have talked to in my extensive Deadhead Family were able to get tickets or even able to get on to the site to purchase the morning of the sale.Three days worth of tickets gone in less than 30 minutes.
But there are plenty of tickets available on these secondary site like Stub Hub. Before the sale was even over there were tickets on stub hub.How is that? I always thought it was illegal to scalp a concert ticket. Scalping being- buying a ticket to any event and selling it at a higher price for profit.
Am I crazy or is this what Stub Hub does???
Before the actual sale of the Dear Jerry Ticket Sales there were tickets available on stub hub,world now,ticketsnow.com,vivid seats just to name a few where you can get all the tickets you want from $139-$10,000-yes thats ten thousand dollars- I had to do a double take too.
BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY WENT ON SALE!
The only way I can figure that this happened is if these companies were the ones who shut down the two different presales in less than 15 minutes.The ticket limit was 8 so that would explain how they went so fast.
I really dont understand how the average concert goer can compete with these internet companies out there jumping ahead getting the popular shows tickets and turning around and selling them at a ridiculous profit.
Guess I saw my last real dead show when Jerry was Living.I can remember standing in line overnight to get tickets back in the day,but you always got your tickets.It required some dedication and perseverence but you got them.
I have not had this happen to me before-I have always been able to get concert tickets when I wanted them.I suppose that is why I am having such a hard time dealing with this event and how ticket sales were handled.
Maybe I need to go wonder around outside the show and hold my finger up and hope for that "miracle ticket"

A month ago a dear friend lost her teenage son in her living room,at her front door when an acquaintence of Dylan's came to the front door to rob him misinformed that Dylan had a large amount of drugs and money.When the gun was pulled and Dylan ran into the house,he shot him 5x through the front door while the entire family was present,including his severely handicapped,quadriplegic sister.Dylan was hit all over his body,the fatal shot through his heart.This act of violence has rocked our community and saddened us all.We suffer from a broken heart for the loss of one of our young people for no damn reason.Senseless and tragic.
Sunday we gathered together for a benefit to assist Dylan's mother Terri in the expenses she has been overwhelmed with.She has never been able to work a full time job due to caring for her handicapped daughter.She was part owner of our local music store and was in there whenever she could be,she has very strong ties to our music community circle.This event was proof of  the  caring hearts of our local musicians.
Gordy Price the owner of Pro Music has worked diligently collecting money,items for auction,and raffle from local businesses to help raise money at the event.He also organized to have numerous local acts play a set throughout the day on the main stage at Hoss's Deli and acoustic acts to work the outdoor patio area.
We contributed gift certificates for raffle and attended the festival to represent Mutherockers Music Boutique but also in support of my friend Terri in her time of overwhelming loss.
It was heart warming to see such a large group of people coming out to support the event.
It was a celebration of Dyaln's life,there were tears,but there was joy and happiness too.
I am so thankful to live in a community that cares so much and to be involved in the music circle that pulls together so selflessly to help someone in need.
This has been one of the most successful fundraisers Gordy has organized to date,and there has been quite a few.My deepest admiration goes out to this individual who takes the time and makes the effort to help those in need in the music community here in Yorktown,Gordy has a huge heart and that heart is made of gold.
