  1. full order filled:

    bethel 1 – lawn
    bethel 2 – pav
    bethel 3 – pav
    camden – lawn
    MPP1 – lawn

  2. Nada. I wasn’t expecting much – of the 20+ shows I’ve put in for, I’ve scored exactly two.

  3. So you guys who got lawn are still paying $60 when those same lawn seats will be $45 via TM? Was a refund applied?

  4. Got my full order! Half pavillion half lawn

    bethel 1 – 2 lawn
    bethel 3 – 1 pav
    DTE – 1 pav

    now gotta see if the gf got her half of the bethel tickets filled….fingers crossed

  5. @custeez – what ruse? what are you talking about? the fact that you didn’t get pavilion? thats why its called a LOTTERY. you don’t know what you are going to get…its a roll of the dice. there is no guarantee that if you go through TM you will get pavilion either. they could all be sold out by the time you make it through the queue.

  6. Well, I am sure I got 2 of the three shows I put in for, would be nice to have SOMETHING more than my online bank statement to confirm I got tix.

    Still in shock they have my $, but not a word on shows, or anything – WTF

  7. Got 100% of the request fulfilled. Too bad 7 our of the 8 tickets were lawns.

    2 lawns each night for bethel
    1 100 section for camden
    1 lawn for merriweather

  8. Got my whole order filled. 4 of the 6 are lawns. I’m definitely done with PTBM until a “Pav Only” option is available.

  9. @confucius

    Emails get sent after CC hold.

    Yep, all lawns for me as well except for GA Portsmouth show. Absolutely ridic how they “reward” us lottery winners

  10. I now have:

    8 Camden Lawn
    4 Merriweather Sat Lawn and 4 Reserved
    6 Merriweather Sun Lawn and 4 Reserved

    Didn’t get Portsmith.

    Who wants to trade?

  11. got entire request –

    2 camden
    4 mwpp
    2 mwpp

    i’ll sell 4 mwpp night 1 lawns for 45/ticket – email nelsonm420 @ gmail if you’re interested.

  12. So Stoked bethel woods all three nights and it will be my daughters first shows! What a way to start off the summer!

  13. Bethel-1: GA LAWN
    PNC 1: GA LAWN
    PNC 2:  Section 201 Row C

    Damn you lawn option….

  15. Got all 5 shows I requested.

    Great Woods – Pav
    MPP1 – Lawn (will try to upgrade this for sure)
    MPP2 – Pav
    Alph1 – Lawn
    Alph2 – Pav

  16. requested 2 portsmouth got 2 portsmouth smallest venue this summer. usually don’t have that kind of luck with the lotto

  17. Very disappointed you couldn’t select between seats and lawn during pre-sale, but I did go 7 for 7, so I guess I can’t complain. Can’t wait for Bethel and the rest of the summer shows!

  18. some lawns but also some great seats. got 1st row center pavilion (right behind a small ga pit) in charlotte and 4 portsmouth. I’m happy.

  19. Pretty pissed. Got 3 lawns for Merriweather and shut out for Portsmouth and Camden. This is likely the last time I do PTBM.

  20. Got shut out of Bethel and got lawns for both holmdel and for camden. Extremely upset not loving the lottery right now.

  21. Congratulations! You have just purchased the following tickets:

  22. I only requested ptbm tix for those shows where I wouldn’t mind being on the lawn, namely Bethel & nTelos, which is all gen adm anyway

    My complete order was filled: singles for Bethel (1 Pav, 2 Lawns) and a pair for nTelos (will hit TM for Great Woods, Darien, Charlotte, and Raleigh)

    Sucks not being able to request ‘Pavilion Only’ thru ptbm -such a blatant move from Red light to dump more lawns on fans. As a result, several friends skipped mail order entirely this time.

    However, on the plus side several other friends scored awesome seats thru ptbm -I’m guessing fewer fans (and scalpers) put in for mail order

  23. Suckers! Now you’ll still have to pay $85stub hubs and sell the grass for $35. Phish appreciates your loyalty.

  24. hard to plan tour when you’re travelling from the UK – can’t book hotels or flights unless you know you got tickets (by then all the good places are booked and cheap flights are gone), or planning to pay loads to scalpers, or gonna gamble on picking one up on Shakedown…. plus going all that way you really want to be in the pav… I put in for 1 each night at Bethel and got Fri May 27 2011 07:30 PM Phish, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts

  25. I thought that since there was no $45 option, that lawns were taken out of the lotto equation, sooo wrong.

    Had 9 friends request a pair of NYE for me, only I received my request.

    Had 5 friends try for 1 ticket to each of the 3 Jersey shows, I put in for 2 for each night. Can you believe I recieved ALL 20 Tickets? 9 PAVs and 11 Lawn. Can’t complain, I got a Camden Pit!!!!!

    Lotto should not include lawn tickets(unless it’s all GA) or tickets behind the stage.

    (Terminal 5 really did suck! Couldn’t hear, couldn’t see, and lots and lots of hostility!)(And to the A**hole who kept trying to force me out of my spot by backing into me, all the while pretending not to realize it, you really suck too!!!!)

  26. why is everyone all of a sudden so worried about lawn? Seriously, I have never heard as much bitching in 15 yrs as I have this and last year. as if the lawn is a bad place to be. odd

  27. Agreed Jon.. People these days live & love to complain.

    ATL 1 – 4 pit
    ATL 2 – Reserve 101

    100% order full

    Lucky Yankees.
    😉

  28. @poster nut bag I have to agree with @custeez. It is a ruse. There is no guarantee with TM either, correct. BUT there is an option. If you pull lawns, you don’t HAVE to buy. With PTBM, done deal. And then when public on sale comes, you can buy more tickets or from the inevitable release on show day when a huge amount of decent seats are released. Then you stuck with tickets that are tough to GIVE AWAY much lease getting even close to fair value. Lawns suck now at most venues. Used to be fun on the lawn. Now it is a shit show as the lawns shrink (Great Woods, etc) and more people then ever are packed in and treated like shit by the money grubbing venue operators. There has to be a better way and the current model ain’t cutting it for a lot of people. The actual demand is no where near as high as perceived demand. It’s an artificial creation used to sell these often un-sellable tickets. Not a lot of shows last summer was a ticket an issue (barring of course TRide and a couple other one-offs)

  29. people bitching about lawn seats are morons. The venue only gives phish a certain number of seats to sell thru lotto which means there is no ruse nutbag. the tix come from all parts of the venue they have no more lawn than they do pav. Also back when I started going to shows the only thing that mattered is that people got a ticket. if there was a pavillion only option none of you woulda got in. NOOOOOBS

  30. Don’t do the lottery.Miss the days of waiting in line at ticketmaster outlets.I will take my chances getting tickets at the show.I have never came up empty handed and usually get face or cheaper.Screw Ticketmaster and Live Nation and thank God for kind Phish kids.
