Phish
Around 5:30PM Music Today started sending out notices of regret and confirmation to those who entered the lottery for tickets to Phish’s comeback gigs in Hampton, Virginia on March 6, 7 and 8. Most folks we know were denied, but ironically our friend Wilson scored ducats to all three shows. How did you fare? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

0-3 for Hampton. 0-4 Summer tour. No more playin’ by the rules I guess. Anyone I’ve met who scored tix to anything had 5 – 30 separate requests. Nice to know the ticket company follows their own rules. I miss the old mail order’s myself. Ticketmaster sucks balls. They sell off tickets to “re-sellers” before public onsale. I’m glad to see the boys back together, but I don’t think I’ll ever get a chance to actually “see” them again. Can’t afford the crazy prices on ebay and craigslist, and I refuse to buy from scalpers. WTF?! Kinda wish they stayed broken up at this point. At least then you could actually see them with someone. (OK, so I’m all bummed out about the ticket mess.) Hate this crap. Good news has morphed into major disappointment and sadness.

Read about the days of camping out for tickets. I did that too. I think the big difference is that now when you’re denied, you’re by yourself in front of a PC. When I camped out for Hartford, and Worcester shows in 95-97 you were part of a group. People all around you, and it was an experience by itself. Denied or not, you felt part of something larger and had a good time going through it. Those days are dead and gone. Its all INET and Phone now. No donut runs at 4:30am for everyone outside waiting. No group pity parties in the lot afterwards. Ticketmaster does suck balls though. They DO sell chunks of tickets to “brokers” (scalpers) prior to public onsale at a higher price. They do it with all bands. And ALL bands don’t do a thing about it except Pearl Jam. They are the only ones who actually FIGHT them. I’m not even a fan of them, but they have my respect for there efforts. Oh well. Hope everyone gets their tickets. DON’T BUY FROM EBAY, CRAIGSLIST, SCALPERS, BROKERS!!!!! Make them lose their money!!!!!

just sad…thats the state of all this…I can find tickets to these Phish shows EVERYWHERE!!!!! only problem is that they are running $150+…. I know the people did it for a profit, and I suppose I cant blame them for that…but I hope someday this sorta thing gets sorted out and handled with some loyalty on the other end.
