Grateful Dead Mail Order Begins Tuesday

I'm heading out first thing to the post office tomorrow morning to do mail order for the Times Union Center/Albany stop. BFF Kim and I decided to give Ticketmaster/Live Nation a shot for Hartford, Worcester and Madison Square Garden. Not sure if I will try to catch them at Izod Center in NJ yet (why do I keep seeing alligators and hearing that song?)

If they decide to play Las Vegas (no dates announced of course) I will have a good excuse to return to Sin City after a years layoff.

Kim and I decided to go the cheaper ticket route and try to catch them more then once.

Here are the ticket prices for the announced dates/venues:
