Grateful Dead's Fare Thee Well shows to air via Pay-Per-View, webcast—and this may not be the end.

Back on April 10, a letter from Billy, Bobby, Mickey and Phil was released, confirming two additional Fare Thee Well shows in Santa Clara at Levi's Stadium.

An excerpt from the letter: We love you guys more than words can tell, and hope to see you in the Bay Area or Chicago. If you can’t make it to the shows, we are working on ways for you to still experience our Fare Thee Well, from wherever you might be. Stay tuned for those details.

The official method for scoring tickets to both Santa Clara shows closed on April 14, but there are still many available through second and third-party vendors (StubHub has nearly 7,000 tickets, ranging from $108-$25k for June 27 and 7,500 tickets, from $85-over $100k for June 28).

There are only around 100 combined total tickets available for both days that run about $100—and that number availability continues to drop.

By now, it's more than likely that you're going to have to shell out some serious cash if you want to go to either of the late-June shows. 

The Grateful Dead family knows that every one of their fans will not be able to go to at least one of the five Fare Thee Well shows, but as promised in the above excerpt from their letter, they've worked out ways for you to still experience the shows "wherever you might be."

Like a boxing match, but with dreads and patchouli, Pay-Per-View packages (all five nights starting on May 1 for a pre-sale of $79.95. After May 15, Santa Clara webcasts are $19.95/night and the Chicago webcasts are $29.95/night) will be available through cable and satellite so heads can watch on TV in the comfort of their own home or on any mobile device.

Also, venues and movie theaters countrywide will be broadcasting the shows live. In Monterey, you'll be able to watch at Century Cinemas at Del Monte Center for about $10 per night.

The broadcasts will also include an array of extras, including live fan interviews, a short documentary and previously-recorded interviews during the set breaks. CNBC's Steve Liesman will host the weekend in Chicago alongside the NBA's biggest Deadhead Bill Walton.

Meanwhile, on April 24, Billboard reported that a fall tour featuring the "Core Four" surviving members of the Dead with John Mayer is in the works.

"According to insiders, the trek is due to kick off in October, with the Grammy-winning singer and guitarist having already begun to jam in a rehearsal-like setting with select members of the group, chief among them Weir."

A rep for the band told Billboard that it's "premature" to suggest any such outing is being planned, and the core four insist that the three Chicago shows, which marks the 20th anniversary of the band's final show with Jerry Garcia, will be their last as the Grateful Dead.

Fare Thee Well promoter Peter Shapiro, told Billboard that any future tour wouldn’t be billed under the Grateful Dead banner.

“What you won’t see is the four surviving members together saying goodbye in this kind of way. This is it. Chicago is the end, and Santa Clara is leading into the end.

But like a great Dead tune, it will evolve and they will wander around on their own.”
