Deadheads now have the opportunity to bid on auction packages that include premium seats, as well as band-signed limited edition show posters. Other packages will include VIP perks, such as access to the Loose Lucy's Lot Lounge. The Dead will also be auctioning special memorabilia from their vault, Charity Folks said.
The band's first tour in nearly five years is slated to kick off in Greensboro, N.C., April 12 and is to end in George, Wash., May 16, with a highly anticipated performance featuring special guests The Allman Brothers Band and The Doobie Brothers.
Proceeds from the auctions are intended to benefit longtime Grateful Dead-related non-profit organizations, including The Furthur Foundation, The Rex Foundation and Unbroken Chain Foundation, among others.
