When the surviving members of the Grateful Dead recently announced they would be going on tour for the first time in 5 years, deadheads around the country were buzzing with excitement. Old friends were being contacted, plans were being made, hotel rooms being booked. Once again the bus was on the road and many of us were ready to hop on.
That was until ticket prices were announced yesterday. With ticket prices for the reunited Grateful Dead (performing under the name The Dead) priced in the $100 range, many Deadheads are rethinking their plans. Instead of being able to go to multiple shows on tour, due to the high price of tickets many Deadheads are being forced to settle for just 1 or 2 shows.
There is quite a bit of discussion going on in the Dead community right now over the price of tickets. To read what people are saying, you can visit one of the many Deadhead message boards like ours here at Tooboarders.net

Actually, the ticket prices could leave some folks with ZERO shows. I emailed Live Nation to ask them if we can expect the Nassau seating arragement to be a true reflection of what you get for lower tier tix prices without a lawn…they responded back with a question HOURS ago…now nothing. My guess is, if you don’t pay $100 for a ticket you’ll be behind the stage…maybe even in a nosebleed seat behind the stage. There’s no need for that, there should be some lower tier tix to purchase where you won’t be looking at the backs of heads!
The Grateful Dead…
Thank you! Keep up the good work. Best regards. Art….
