Haven't gotten an email yet, but FINALLY I scored in the lottery.  Here's hoping that 2 of those tickets are for T-Ride.

Noice noice!  I didn't get all the tickets I put in for (my original bill was almost $1,900!), but it looks as though I got a good chunk of them.  Looks like appx 9 shows worth, or right around there.  Still no email yet...COME ON T-RIDE!!!!   8)

What the heck? Why haven't I gotten my email yet. I've had a hold on my CC for $342 since yesterday..
that means I only got two of the shows I ordered three tix to. I'm gonna have to buy some tix on Friday also.

I got my 4 lawn seats for great woods. Seems like everybody I know got tickets this time. I have had shit luck with the lottery in the past. Did something change?

Well finally got my email.  First order of business = if anyone's got T-Ride tickets to trade, I've got all 3 of your Greek shows.  Here's what I scored:

1st night of Hartford
Last night of SPAC
Great Woods
Both Camden
Both MPP
CBPAC (Canadaigua)
All 3 nights @ the Greek

Worked out considerably well for me, minus not getting T-Ride.  I wanted the first Hartford/last SPAC shows (and not the 2 in between, even though I put in for them) because we've got a show @ Colby College on 6/19 that negates the 2 middle shows, so kinda weird it worked out that way.  Just gotta find T-Ride tickets now....

@ sour d - well, a big time scalper got busted a month or two ago, maybe that had something to do w/ more tickets being available?  Then again, I'm not sure if that scalper had anything to do with the lottery or if his operation was just involved w/ the ticketmaster/live nation online sales.

East coast shows were easier, but of all my friends and me in the Bay Area nobody got Greeks...

Then try like hell for T-Ride tickets tomorrow and we'll trade!  I'd rather get rid of these Greek tix and get T-Ride tix as I don't plan on going to Greek as of right now.....

FWIW, ultimately I need 6 T-Ride tix altogether for me, the wife, and the rest of the family we're meeting out there, so if anyone grabs any T-Ride tix that they're willing to sell/trade, let me know!

Wish I could walker, but this public sale is a ticketless system.  You have to show up with your card to get in.  Unless you are offering to fly me to T-ride?

Yeah, I just saw that email yesterday.  I'm actually quite glad they're doing it that way (they should consider doing this for all shows), even though it does make it harder for me to get to T-Ride now.  Basically it's either get tickets during the online mad-rush today, or S.O.L.

No link. Pick up the magazine while your in the checkout isle. I'm not saying buy it. It's a short article.

Sorry dartis, I don't think I'm going to be breaking up the set as I'm hoping to parlay them into T-Ride tix.  Good luck though....and who knows I just may see you out there.

Man, trading these Greek tix for T-Ride is proving to be quite a tough venture.  Seems like everyone has Greeks and everyone is looking for T-Ride.

If anyone knows anyone who has T-Ride and is looking to either trade or sell, I've got a ton to offer.  Thanks.

Yup Walker. Telluride may be the toughest phish ticket ever due to this paperless ticket system.

I bit the bullet on an expensive craigslist mail order ticket. The cheapest I've seen so far. The prices people are bidding on eBay are ridiculously stupid. $1000+ per ticket...sheesh

good luck Walker.
