Awesome! great! incredible news! but why so expensive?! Yes, legends they are, but $57 plus applicable (ticket bastard’s bend over and take it convenience) fees puts the cost well over $65! I’ll be looking for ticket giveways for this show…

Congrats to beaverlake, but I have a HUGE concern about this situation, Jason.

I’m just hoping the Furthur appearance doesn’t go the way of the Avett Brothers New Years Eve concert.

The Weir, Lesh & Company show is a huge deal here in Hippie Town and will absolutely sell-out in a flash.

Does that mean the "powers that be" will move it over to the inferior Civic Center to make more cash and effectively screw-over those who snag real seats at Thomas Wolfe?

I hope not and we Dead Heads know Jerry would hate that.
