Tickets sold out in record time with no surprise as thousand of dead head from all around the world sat by awaiting the release of the tickets. The events major turn out reaches headlining news broadcasting on national television with the hugely costly news of resale tickets. Tickets reaching upward towards the price of $116,000, for a pair of two general admission tickets. Stubhub.com seems to be the go to place if you have the funds to pay the ridiculously over priced resale tickets almost up to $1,500 a ticket. However there’s good news for those deadheads out there who didn’t have the chance to get tickets.

Chicago announces that they will be allowing tailgating at solider filed for the 3-day event. Chicago’s even agreed to open the gates up earlier for the final nights. The lots are scheduled to open up at 1 pm, a whole good 6 hours before the psychedelic legendary jam band takes the stage at 7 pm. However there’s a catch, the eager dead heads will be asked to leave once the show begins and overnight camping outside the event is not prohibited. Although there is talk about provide more accommodations for those who aren’t able to be at the show directly. Such rumors of on demand viewing, and local parks have viewing parties. Chicago expects to overly exceed the amount of tickets sold of 70,000, in dead heads coming down to Chicago in general. 

This will be a historical mark in music history as well as a mark in Chicago's history, for housing one of the most famous world wide legendary psychedelic Jam bands of all time. And you can bet I’ll be one of those Dead heads hanging in the lots living it up with the rest of the beautiful dead family. Once again I'll do my best to share some of my experience back here, but sometimes certain things aren’t just meant best as memories, however I’ll do what I can to capture some of the weekends festivities to come J.
