CHICAGO — You haven't missed your last chance to see the Grateful Dead at Soldier Field: More tickets are going on sale Friday.

A limited amount of single-day tickets to the band's final three shows will go on sale at 11 a.m. Friday. Buyers will be limited to two tickets per show, and sales will be online-only. The shows are July 3, 4 and 5 at Soldier Field.

Tickets sold out quickly when the concerts — which have been billed as the last shows Grateful Dead band members Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir will play together — were announced in January, and resale prices hit the thousands.

The Grateful Dead last played July 9, 1995, at Soldier Field; a month afterward, guitarist Jerry Garcia died of a heart attack. This year's shows will mark the remaining band members' first reunion under the Grateful Dead and their last time playing together.
