When I saw the announcement that the Grateful Dead were doing one last set of concerts in Soldier Field this summer, I got all nostalgic and thought about how cool it would be to be there. The end of an era! 50 years.
Then I thought about the logistics of getting there, and squeezing it into an overbooked summer. And I remembered how bad they sounded the last time they came through town. So I forgot about it.
Now I see that tickets went on sale over the weekend and sold out in just a couple minutes. Breaking some Ticketmaster record. And scalpers are selling for up to $15K per ticket.
