I haven’t seen much written about The Dead’s $100 ticket prices by journalists, but the fanbase couldn’t be angrier. Deadheads have taken to internet mailing lists and message boards to air their grievences. Most seem to understand that other ’60s relics charge similar prices for tickets, but expected the band to offer more reasonable pricing to their loyal fans.
One sassy Deadhead took her complaint straight to the viral video world. If you’re at work, make sure you turn down your speakers because this video features plenty of profanity, but is hilarious…

Around noon, I tried to help a friend purchase tickets through The Dead’s online presale and I haven’t seen a ticketing site crash so badly in years. It took us both 30 minutes to attempt to put tickets in our virtual basket. Eventually we received the message that no tickets for the band’s MSG concert remained. Not only that, Consider It Dan – The Dead’s VIP ticket vendor – has already sold out of the $350 “High Time” packages for the show at MSG. So while most of my Deadhead friends are complaining and not purchasing tickets, somebody certainly is. Did you buy tickets today?
