Isn't Phish also notorious for difficult to win ticket lotteries? that doesn't seem like the solution to jorge's problem.
only certain big shows like NYE or Halloween. having said that this past NYE tickets were going for below face. which is ironic considering it ended up being one of the most legendary shows in the band's history.
i'm actually looking at the first show i want to get into that i will be unable to get into in all my time seeing the band. sphere shows are impossible. they just massively underestimated demand only doing 4 shows.
I have considered Phish phandom because I actually like a lot of their studio material and have gotten more jam-friendly in the latter years of my middle age. Do I need to learn, like, every performance from every bootleg to walk in and have any idea what the hell is going on?
Download the livephish app they update random 4/5 live shows about every week. Doesn’t require a subscription. Choose Phish and Billy Strings, thank me later

the 4 shows is even crazier now seeing how many Dead and Co. are set up for. I know they’re looking at more of a residency thing and they tend to play bigger venues, but feels like Phish could’ve easily been penciled in for 6-8 shows. obviously wouldn’t guarantee everyone a ticket still but certainly would help

They'll do a whole bunch next year and we'll all see Phish at the Sphere!
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.
AEG/Bowery's dynamic pricing for the Jason Isbell show in Boston is now at $229 per ticket, not including fees. I should have jumped on the original face value price of 80-something when I had the chance.
Is that what they're calling resale tickets now? I assume that sold out pretty quickly.
I don't think it's resale. All available tickets are being sold at the same price, and that's not usually how resale works. I sold a couple of tickets to AEG/Bowery shows before I was ready to go all-in on indoor venue shows again, and I was allowed to set my own price. There is a price floor below which you can't go (I assume that's in play when the show isn't yet sold out via primary market ticket sales), but you can pretty much ask whatever you like.
I got the impression from the description on the site that it's their version of Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing.

Trey's a brilliant guitarist and they're all great musicians, but the songwriting seems like an afterthought (and the singing is atrocious). They strike me as a band which would have rather been Weather Report or Mahavishnu Orchestra than the Dead or Allmans, but they realized that you can't play arenas and ballparks if you play only instrumentals.
I love these sorts of secondary market tours where the band hardly plays any of the dozen biggest concert markets and instead go one tier down. I grew up on tours like this in western NY state.
I'm only particularly bothered when bands skip Boston if they're playing both NYC and Philadelphia. If it's a major market tour that hits the northeast, how do you not play Boston?
(Of course, Primus is coming to town as part of the Sessanta tour, but even if they weren't, this is the sort of tour I wouldn't expect to play Boston, based upon the other dates.)

I'll be going to the Primus Tour bc Primus but Coheed is such a resting heartrate act for me.
One of my first ever fests was Chill on the Hill near Detroit. Coheed was 2nd to last or something. This one kid I kept running into was just facing edibles and sitting down in the middle of the crowd all day until Coheed came on.

Something weird:
Promo West owns 4 venues of different capacities in Columbus. They own one venue (mEgA cOrP pavillion) in Cincinnati.
Gavin Adcock, some country guy I've never heard of, is playing 2 Promowest venues in Ohio.
In Columbus, he's playing the Basement 350 cap.
In Cincinnati, he's playing Megacorp.... 2700 indoor cap. Wtf!? I'm not sure if I've ever seen a disparity this big on a tour. Just nowhere else to put him? Is it really worth it?
** a note that technically it's in Newport, Kentucky across the river.

i think phish are incredible songwriters. true, some are just jam vehicles (tweezer), or songs that exist mainly for one glorious peak (hood), but they've written some great melodies and hooks. character zero, chalkdust torture, bathrub gin, down with disease, possum, twist, wolfman's, 46 days, cavern, reba, carini, stash, fluffhead, ac/dc bag, wilson, maze, the wedge, fuego, NICU, honestly the list of phish songs with solid pop songwriting is much longer than the jam vehicles.
i'll give you that the vocals are poor. just this past weekend i was listening to Dead & Company KIA forum show and thinking about how much Mayer and Weir's vocals add to the performance. i wouldn't change any of phish's vocals though, part of the package.
The most jarring lead vocals transition ever was when Coheed opened Heaven and Hell's last tour. Dio was sick and died a couple months later but still left the stage in a pile of smoking rubble. The goat.

That's a valid observation, but there's as much positivity in this post as negativity, so maybe you should have saved that comment for when it was more on-point.

Coheed opening for Incubus and Primus this summer is strange. Prog-emo touring with bands that got lumped into nu-metal in the late 90s even though they weren't nu-metal
