Phish Concert Tour


To the astonishment of their loyal phans, Phish put on sale yesterday 11 new dates in addition to their Hampton Coliseum 3-day show in March. This famous jam band always keeps their audiences in suspense, as they never quite perform the same concert twice. They always end up adding different sounds and surprises which makes their phans want more!! Phish fans are always expecting the unexpected!! There is also a rumor that they may also play at the Bonaroo Festival this coming summer.


Ironically, on May 25, 2004, there was a somber announcement from Trey Anastasio on the official Phish website that the band members had agreed that their 2004 summer tour would be their last spent together. Phish wanted to end their union together on a high note while the other members may end up touring solo. This is why the Phish announcement in late 2008 about a possible 2009 reunion tour was so well received by Phish phans nationwide. No one knows if they'll ever perform together again after this year, so get your tickets now for Phish live in concert.

Phish Ticket Sales Explode on January 30th

This article was found online regarding the onsale of Phish tickets on January 30th. This may be the fastest sell out in recent history. What makes things even more surprising is that this happened amidst the economic downturn.

Phish On-Sales Tax Live Nation's Ticketing System
Billboard

Ticket sales for the upcoming tour by the reunited Phish exploded
today (Jan. 30), with all shows selling out in minutes and severely
testing Live Nation's new ticketing system.

"We sold out everywhere we went on sale," Phish agent Chip Hooper at
Paradigm tells Billboard.com. "We put up two Jones Beaches, a Camden,
N.J., an Asheville, N.C., Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Indianapolis.
Every show sold out very quickly. [Phish manager] Coran Capshaw and I
are very happy."

But the blogosphere was blistering with frustrated fans unable to get
tickets on the new LiveNation.com ticketing system, which seemed to
crack under the strain of the massive demand.

"We're really excited about the response," Hooper says. "This was a
uniquely high-demand situation, so I'm not surprised that the system
was taxed to the max. They probably got a million hits in the first
minute. The folks at Live Nation are well aware of what happened and
worked really quickly to rectify the traffic jam. I have all the
confidence in the world that they'll have the system working as smooth
as silk very soon."

Phish returns to live duty March 7-9 in Hampton, Va. The summer tour
begins June 4 at Jones Beach in Wantagh, N.Y.
