Open Thread: Phish Summer Tour Onsale
Tickets for most of Phish’s summer tour go onsale this morning and hopefully you’ve taken a few moments to familarize yourself with Live Nation’s ticketing system. Head to livenation.com at 10AM EST for Jones Beach, Camden, Burgettstown and Deer Creek ducats. Asheville goes onsale at 10AM through ticketmaster.com and the remaining tickets for the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis at 11AM EST through metrotix.com.
Best of luck to everyone trying for tickets. At least you’re not in the cold. When you’re finished let us know how you did by leaving a comment below…

hmmm… I was able to get 2 pavilion for deer creek without a problem
I actually got through to where I could put in my billing info but the site wouldn’t let me type anything in (it crashed). Of course the clock kept running and timed me out of the tickets they were holding. Total bs.
I got my hands on two tickets to Jones Beach, but I lost them because my cart got dumped. I clicked on the link to check out, but the website was bogged down and slow, and they have a timer counting down on top how long you have to complete sale. It counted down to zero, and I got a message that said, “Your ticket request is no longer valid.”
I never thought that I’d say this but, I long for the days of Ticketmaster.
Live Nation sells tickets through Blockbuster stores. Anyone have any idea how to find out which blockbusters?
I’m amazed… I have been trying repeatedly on the LN website- I finally just got through and got 2 tix (not next to eachother, figure that out) to Thursday Jones Beach…
keep trying guys, I guess there’s hope.
I was online at 9:58 eastern, by 10:02 the homepage wouldnt even load. I had a set of orchestra seats for jones beach, on my screen, but then got the error message server timed out when i tried to buy. by the time i got back in there was nothing. By 10:20 all shows in my area were sold out. Im sick of Livenation, Im sick of the whole ‘concert experience’. I wonder why they monopolize the ticket sales then do not have enough server horsepower to handle the influx of orders. I didnt want to drink $10 beers and $15 hotdogs anyway. 30 seconds after they sold out, I checked stubhub and theres seats for all the shows from $200-$2000. I refuse to pay scalpers. I’ll be missing phish for the first time in my life. Ive been a Phan since 96.
WOW, my pc crashed, I rebooted and was able to get 2 tix to Star Lake! I’m in the lawn but I’ll be there!
Good luck to the rest of you.
After I rebooted I got in no problem and took very little time at all.
Live Nation is a joke – ticket master are bastars but at least they can handle volume
You can still get tickets! I just got 4 for friday. U just got them at noon
BK you said it. Never had an online problem with ticketbastard
Got 2 to Noblesville (lawn) took for ever keep trying it will work.
I tried for hours. Finally got mine just before noon. 2 for Thursday and Friday each.
Waited patiently for two hours of LN Crashes. Gave up hope and called 1-877 598-8964.
Got two tix both nights Jones Beach.
This whole process for the reunion shows suck! Go back to mail order those were the days

pulled a singler for joners.
Got a pair for Jones#1 and 4 for Jones#2 (got the Jones#2 tix about noon).
Livenation was wholly unprepared.
I wrote this to my buddies while in the heat of battle with livenation…”I feel like Tom Hanks in Castaway when he’s trying to make a fire. And then he cuts his hands on the stick, and they’re all bloody. And then they go to a shot, and it’s night time and his hands are all blistery and he’s still sitting there trying to start the fire but instead of vigoriously spinning the stick, he’s just got his hands on it. That’s how I feel right now.”
But then, at around 12:30 things opened up and I got through with 3 for both Jones Beach shows. Now I feel like the “I” in the LiveNation logo.
Don’t give up, don’t ever give up!!!
Incredibly frustrating process, lots of error messages, time outs. I had 4 tix in my cart twice for deer creek twice, but lost them due to the websites malfunctioning. Finally got through at 12:46 and got 2 for deer creek. It was a stressful 3 hours and I have to do it again tomorrow for Alpine. I wholeheartedly dislike LN!!
