Fair Thee Well
We are pleased to announce “Fair Thee Well” – A Satirical Fansite Celebrating 50 Years of Fair, Face Value Grateful Dead Ticket Trades and Transactions.
“To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, and Bob Weir will reunite at Chicago’s Soldier Field, nearly 20 years to the day of the last-ever Grateful Dead concert, which took place at the same venue. “Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead” will take place over three nights – July 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2015 – and mark the original members’ last-ever performance together. The band will be joined by Trey Anastasio (Guitar), Jeff Chimenti (Keyboards) and Bruce Hornsby (Piano), and will perform two sets of music each night.”
In the tradition of the original Grateful Dead Ticketing Service, any desirable tickets were available via a mail order system that started on January 20, 2015 while the rest sold out instantly to scalpers and brokers on February 28th via Ticketmaster.

Yeah, it’s an all-day affair.
When does mail order start?

No. Not really.
What ticket and travel options are available?
None, they are all sold out. You couldn’t afford them anyway.

You could try.

The lot never closes. Period. Overnight parking and camping is not encouraged. For accurate information please visit the official Soldier Field Parking site.
