I hate ticketmaster with a passion. I just wish phish could make it easier for true fans to get tickets and not leave the system up to brokers. I hate ticketmaster, I hate their website, I hate their phone system, I hate their little capcha log in and mostly I hate their outrageous fees that you must pay. You would think being the only game in town that they would have their #### together, but I can promise you on Friday their system is going to crash. I friggin hate ticketmaster

From what it sounds like on the phish board is that hardly anyone got tickets. Some people put in for every show and only came out with one ticket. Not sure how that works. This just really stinks that ticketmaster is the only way to get "face" value tickets. The way I understand it is that ticketmaster only sells half of their allotment then shifts the other tickets to their brokerage site. BS.
Actually the whole tour is through livenation, hopefully that means it'll go better than hampton.

Livenation is ticketmaster.
put in for almost the whole tour and ended up getting 5 shows, all seats lawn, though: Camden, Pittsburgh, Deer Creek, Alpine, Alpine.
lots of folks i know did get pittsburgh tickets--must not have been the hot ticket. no one i know landed asheville, jones beach or saint louis.
if we end up with too many tickets, i'll post back here. certainly willing to sell them for face value to anyone cool enough to be hanging out at FFA's Phish thread.

Got shut out because somehow my debit card didnt exist on the account I had used it on for the last 2+ years 
My buddy got Pittsburgh, Alpine, and St Louis though so I know I at least have a tix for the Burgh right now
I dont think hes using those 2 STL tix though Pecorino, and right now Im trying to go to the Creek and Alpine, so maybe we could trade. Im talking to him more tomorrow

You would think if you were the only game in town you would have your #### together.Seems odd that Asheville sold out in less then a minute but TicketNow has hundreds of tickets all of a sudden. Phans just got screwed, if you want to see phish this summer you are going to pay $300 a ticket.

Same here.
ok livenation is the worst site ive ever used for anything... still nothing. keep the faith, tix are still in the system.

Thank you for your patience.
I've been in this "Lockdown" now for about 35 minutes..
This MUST mean I'm about to get tickets :yay:

Live Nation is even worst than ticketmaster though, it ridiculous. Im sure not too many people are even trying at this point, and im getting error messages, redirect messages, page cant be displayed messages. Terrible

So how exactly does this work? Ticketmaster sells about 1/2 - 2/3s of the available tickets then scalps the rest through tickets now
With the resources Phish has and their battle against scalpers you'd figure they could get this done another way. People across the country are sitting in these virtual waiting rooms while you can just click on Ticketsnow and browse hundreds of seats available for 1000% mark ups? I mean if Phish were smart they'd just sell their own tickets for this run starting at $200.

They just hold a press conference and explain the money will be returned to the fans through cheap merchandise and a free 2-3 day festival at tour's end. Where would the fans rather have the money go?And face the ire of thousands of hippies who would think they are "selling out."So how exactly does this work?

I agree with you to an extent, and perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea. I just think there would be backlash.
