does livenation sell tickets through blockbuster video? and if so….is blockbuster even open early enough next weekend to get tix from there?
I’m not looking forward to dealing with the public onsale through the internet. I guess i’ll have to pick one show to concentrate on now. This is a joke.
Got blue-balled out of Deer Creek. Guess my first Phish show will just have to keep waiting.
For the first time in phishtory i got tix in the lottery. I put in for 2 each for Fox Theater, Starlake, Deer Creek, and both nights of Alpine. I got all but the Fox Theater!! My buddy and I are going to try to upgrade our lawns for pavilions and I know someone high up at Live Nation so that may come through. If I get any extras, one is for you Minor.
Whew! at least Ticketsnow has LAWN seats to asheville for only $402!!!! Lawn seats in asheville! Thats a straight up bargain!
I got to admit, it’s a bit diffucult for me to stay positive right now. I understand Hampton being tough, Fox, and Asheville…but getting shut out of Alpine & Creek! Man, this never used to happen. The logical side of my brain says this is just a temptorary phase, that we’re still in the phish-mania that will die down sooner or later…but this is quite a shock! Well, another bout with the internet public sale. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!
I’m so not looking forward to dealing with ticketbastard again for asheville tickets. I’ll give it a try, but with less tickets up for grabs than there were for hampton, i’m not gonna hold my breath.
Just signed up for knoxville lottery as a back up.
Like i said….i got a house in asheville not 10 mins from the venue if anyone has an extra and needs a place to crash.
got shut out of deer creek and both alpine valley shows- but on the bright side i scored 2 for the dead at the spectrum for 5/2
@ Bathtub Gumbo- THANKS MAN!
nada for me…again…no lottery luv
Luv phish
I think the northeast shows, and the two smalls show will be tough tix. The rest will be available, esp Nashville….(24K Inside/GA-6 ticket limit). Alpine always has greats seats released week of show.
good luck
Kudos to y’all for staying positive. Try to keep in mind this is a lottery and random. I was bummed when I didn’t get Hampton tickets through the lottery, but I didn’t get upset and tried to wrangle up a bunch of folks to help with the ticketmaster onsale and got lucky.
Some people take the lottery results as such a personal insult, when it’s a completely random endeavor. I love coming over here and seeing the positive vibes, which I full think will lead to all those with positive energy scoring tickets. Good luck on Friday and Saturday with the onsales!
^ agreed 100%. I don’t know why, but Phish hates me! 😉
@ snigglebeach. Dude, it’s face for face. 1 ticket for 1 ticket. anything other than that falls under “scalping”.
never mind, i guess miner took care of it…
Got shut out of everything, but Pittsburgh. Luckily both my traveling buddies got selected for Pittsburgh through Alpine, no Fox though. Can’t wait to get back on the road!
Seen as how we all got some tickets we have a few extras. Miner let me know if you’re still in need. I absolutely love the blog…read it everyday and getting you to these shows is the least I can do.
Can’t wait for the Hampton blogs/downloads!
Nothing’s ensconced
Nothing’s entrenched
Nothing’s entangled or twisted or wrenched
Everything smoothly flows right through my head
What I hoped might linger is swept off instead
Tunnels and channels and chasms and rifts
Shiny smooth streams and unclimbable cliffs
I see you there ever so slowly being drawn to the sea
As if by some signal that’s unheard by me
I stand on a featureless sheet of blue stone
And then for one instant I’m not quite alone
Your hand is extended but then you rescind
And you like my thoughts are borne off by the wind.
God it hurts. Congrats to all winners.
Ugh. Just went to ticketsnow for the very first time. What a total load. How is this legal? Fingers crossed for all to find the tix they need, hopefully without having to deal with the devil.
you guys are all wacked -if you really want to go – you gotta pay the dough-Thats what happens when a band takes half a decade off-it’s a tough ticket-no shit thousands of people love this band and they are playing what 13 -16 shows-alot in small venues-the only solution to this problem is …STADIUM SHOWS. I would have no problems with that but I’m sure some snotty tour rats would bitch about it but lets face it they are going mainstream-i was hoping for multiple festivals in different parts of the country but alas it a 250 dollar night times 6 for me-but it’s worth it -you gotta pay to play
