Those bohemians who followed the Grateful Dead around the country during their heyday are now very rich bohemians.
Tickets for the Grateful Dead’s final shows in Chicago this summer are selling on the secondary market for upwards of $116,000.
The concerts are set for July 3 to 5 at Soldier Field in Chicago. Initially, tickets were offered through the Dead’s website where 60,000 requests were made for around 6,000 tickets. The rest of the seats were kept for Ticketmaster but are now sold out.
Don’t worry, though, if your pockets aren’t quite deep enough for those premium tickets. Sites like StubHub have the cheap seats, originally $59.50, priced at as low as $1,350.
The Fare Thee Well shows will include the surviving members of the Dead, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzman, along with Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio.
