THE DEAD'S VAST, LOYAL FAN BASE DESERVES MORE FARE THEE WELL SHOWS
Please sign the SongMango.com fan-generated petition NOW to support MORE Grateful Dead "Fare Thee Well" shows above and beyond the three scheduled at Soldier Field in Chicago over the July Fourth weekend 2015. Please SIGN while there’s still time.
PUBLIC ON-SALE DATE HAS COME AND GONE: General public ticket sales kicked off this morning (Feb. 28th) at 10:00 a.m. CST. Most fans fared poorly. There were 45-minute wait times while Ticketmaster checked for availability. Ninety percent of fans ultimately received a message like "High Demand! Sorry no matches..." Many folks had no choice but to go for tickets behind the stage – way up in the 400 level. And the ones that got them are now feeling lucky...because so many people got shut out.
MAIL ORDER HAS COME AND GONE: GDTS TOO, the Dead's ticketing service, was "inundated" with mail orders in late January – 60,000 envelopes containing requests for more than 350,000 tickets (some estimates say 400,000) for the three Soldier Field shows. Obviously, the widespread demand is far exceeding the rather slim supply.
The staff at the Stinson Beach Post Office – which houses the GDTS P.O. Box – confirmed that they were sending out between 2,000 and 3,000 rejection letters (or "pink slips") every day. The mail order ended in a whole lot of disappointment for a whole lot of fans.
THE ASK: Because we believe we deserve additional Fare Thee Well shows – a stop on the East Coast, one on the West Coast and one in the Southland (Texas, Florida, even Virginia…somewhere!) Just say YES.
PLEASE SIGN TODAY!
If this final set of appearances is truly for the fans (as Bobby has said) – to reward us for decades of unwavering support and hundreds of millions in ticket sales over the Dead's 30-year run – then the Dead organization should do the right thing and convey their appreciation to their vast community of fans with shows that do not require a long, expensive airplane flight and pricey hotel room pillows to lay our heads on.
WHAT: We respectfully request a set of Fare Thee Well shows on the East Coast, on the West Coast and in the South (Lockn'?).
WHY: All Grateful Dead fans – across the country and around the world – deserve the opportunity to experience the band's Farewell Tour after years of devotion to Dead’s live performances and its history-making lifestyle and culture.
WHEN: It’s immaterial, as long as it's in 2015 – the band's 50th Anniversary. Let's ALL be able to celebrate.
WHO: The Core Four – Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart – along with a rotation of lead guitarists (who deserve to be included), such as Warren Haynes, John Kadlecik, Steve Kimock and others.
Thank you for showing your support! We are grateful, and Jerry will smile down on our efforts.
PLEASE SIGN TODAY!

We are currently compiling the signature data to present to the event promoters at the upcoming scheduling review. Our team is drafting a formal request for additional venue dates to address the clear discrepancy between ticket supply and fan demand.

how could such a wonderful band that pleased so many for so long make all of these peoples first show they're last and people who dedicated years of they're lives chasing that dead moment with nothing except some stupid webcast
We need more shows, it is gonna be like the Allmann bros. last shows at the beacon. All corporate and not real people. If this is it do it the right way. With the fans that got you there. Love the dead, but not at 1300 dollars
sad that so many deadheads never had a Real chance in getting tickets. Please find a huge open field and play for the masses of real fans. At $50 each and 500,000 people you will make a lot of people happy. These shows better be simulcast online. Peace out!
As a deadhead, I without a doubt appreciate that the "core four" would even consider doing some farewell shows. BUT, I do agree that they should just take the whole summer and hit up 1 or 2 shows a month in different cities :)
please more shows. Tried to catch Furthur shows in Vegas threw blood clots on plane in a coma for 3+weeks. I need to catch at least 1 more show don't want final memory being carried off plane and put in an ambulance.
I am a lifelong Deadhead, I was disappointed I didn't even have a chance to visit Soldier Field or Santa Clara...I believe in my heart the music should never stop...peace...

It's not fair. Stub hub has 1000's of tickets for $1000's of dollars and true fans have none . What a scam. Deadheads got robbed, and Brokers are getting rich. Jerry would not approve of this scam. Play some shows in California. We need more shows.
