The Grateful Thread

[crank]

They both seem to like playing with me and I like playing with them so we will try to work their issues out. Since we are doing covers, dance stuff for mostly private functions and not jam band stuff I am not sure how the Phish method would really help. We have no problem grooving and jamming when we are cutting loose. I think it's mainly that the bassist wants to get the parts exactly right and the drummer and I are content so long as it sounds good and captures the feel of the song. What would playing in bands be without a little band drama. lol

It helps you listen as a band..
And improve...

It's not about being in a jam band.. It's about listening as a band..
for nuances.. and changes... all that stuff..

Congrats. I got skunked. Couldn't even pull a single any night

 

[Funky_Catskills]

bummer... there will be a ton of tickets around..
So many people I know pulled tickets - way more than say PHish NYE or Halloween which tend to be tough tickets..
Once the dust settles.. Thre will be seats around..

 

[deadheadskier]

Hope so. Stubhub prices suggest a HUGE demand.

 

[Funky_Catskills]

thats early stuff.. totally off base.. prices will come down once people realize the demand isn't as big as originally anticipated...

 

[deadheadskier]

I just philosophically am so against scalping. Never have paid above face. Hopefully a friend ends up with an extra.

Put my hotel reservation up for trade. Hopefully it works out.

I've got a 4 night reservation 3 miles from the venue at the Marriott Medical District hotel for $650 total for the 4 nights. I can shorten it to 3 nights for $500. Hotel is right next to public trans.

All I'm looking for trade is 2 tickets for one night at face value. I'll buy one nights tickets at face value, the buyer probably saves $3-400 in hotel rooms costs. I'd obviously love to go all 3. But, me and a friend just want to have one last night to hear the boys and say goodbye.

Most in demand concert tickets in history for Ticketmaster. Over half a million "people" attempted to get tickets. Who knows if that's significantly less people using multiple devices trying to get in. I know I had two going and my friend who I want to go with had four.

...also highest priced concert tickets ever on Stubhub.


I hope I get lucky on Cash or Trade with my hotel room offering. I'm certainly not dropping the stubhub prices to get in the door. That kind of cash could pay for a flight to San Fran where I could just catch Phil at Terrapin Crossroads.

DHS, good luck. Keep networking. Any info on Beano?

Totally skunked from both GTDS, CID and Ticketmaster. Pretty bummed. Still sniffing around for extras but will focus on the Phish tour if not.
