The two "Dead" shows at Crisler arena in 1989, which is the same tour as this Alpine Valley show, had ticket prices well above $11.50. I saw both shows and they were well worth the money spent. I also lucked out and had a seat next to "Quin" and I am so glad he had some to share.

If $11.50 is to expensive, then maybe you should look for a miracle.

"Audiences will experience the concert in its entirety. Before the concert, see a slideshow of rare and never-before-seen photos of the band, accompanied by a previously unreleased live track recorded in 1990. $11.50." $11.50? Are they kidding? Who is trying to cash in on this? I think I paid less than that to see the concert live.
