PHISH TO PLAY THREE CONCERTS 10.01.08

Phish returns to the stage for three concerts at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia on March 6, 7 and 8, 2009.

A limited number of tickets are available directly through Phish Tickets' online ticketing system at http://phish.portals.musictoday.com/ . The ticketing request period is currently underway and will end on Wednesday, October 8th at 11:59AM EST.

Tickets go on sale to the public on Saturday, October 18th at 10 AM EST and may be purchased online at http://ticketmaster.com or by phone at 757.671.8100, 757.872.8100 or 804.262.8100. Tickets will not be available at the venue box office and there is a two-ticket limit per show.

The band intends to announce additional touring in 2009 early next year.

i'm more excited than i thought i would be, but i'm not gonna go too crazy trying to get tickets for these shows. i put in for tickets, and i'll try ticketmaster, but i'm not gonna be too upset if i'm not there.

just hoping they do it right this time.

I put in for the tickets and tried to find a hotel for the weekend. Every Hotel is sold out in a 5 mile radius.

SonOfAStu · 10-01-08, 02:14 PM

Nice.

Gdrlv · 10-01-08, 03:20 PM

Put in for tickets and luckily have friends that live very close to Hampton.

The Bus · 10-01-08, 03:23 PM

Duuuuuuuuuude.

starseed1981 · 10-01-08, 03:29 PM

Queue the suprise button! Awesome news.

Hixx · 10-01-08, 05:09 PM

Tickets requested! w00t!

Sean O'Hara · 10-01-08, 06:14 PM

Whew, that's a relief. For a while there, I was worried that baked teens wouldn't have any modern band to idolize.

Alyoshka · 10-02-08, 07:07 AM

What's this about hotels? I say get a van or pitch a tent and hang out with the tapers! Just don't eat the chimichangas. I am excited that they are touring again but won't go to that show. Hopefully they head towards Texas.

I take it you've never been to Hampton, I would barley feel safe sleeping in a hotel room.

mkdevo · 10-02-08, 01:30 PM

i'm not gonna worry about hotels until i have tickets. i don't mind having something 10 miles away from the venue. we'll see if the tickets actually happen first.

Duh Vuh Duh · 10-02-08, 01:59 PM

Good news, would love to see them again, I hope the 09 tour is pretty extensive.

My mom and brother gave me tickets to the Clifford Ball for my graduation and then my brother and I drove cross country to see them, what a great time.

sauce07 · 10-07-08, 02:00 PM

F.Y.I. the closest hotel is now 16 miles away. I want those tickets now.

My 1,000th post is in a Phish thread.

sauce07 · 10-14-08, 08:59 PM

well I got denied, anybody want to miracle me?

mkdevo · 10-15-08, 12:21 PM

denied. not surprised.

will try on saturday morning, but that's going to be a clusterfuck. oh well.

going to see trey on friday, so i have that to look forward to.

SonOfAStu · 10-16-08, 11:44 AM

denied as well. At this point I'll just wait for the tour announcement. I have no desire to endure the ticketmaster headache.

sauce07 · 10-18-08, 11:35 AM

Got 2 tickets for Sunday!!! Now I have to figure out the 2 other days

mkdevo · 10-22-08, 09:30 PM

scored the 3-night package through TM! really had ZERO hope going into it. still can't believe it!!

sauce07 · 10-23-08, 10:08 AM

I hate you right now, want to sell me your extra?

West Coast August dates to be posted soon too.

How about that 7 disc Clifford Ball DVD set?

sauce07 · 01-08-09, 11:46 PM

The DVD geek in me had a huge hard on when I saw that posted

My buddy and I are planning on doing Hampton (I already have Sunday, need the rest), Jones Beach, Bonnaroo and Redrocks. Best Summer Ever.

Nice, I'm all over that. That was a great road trip to NY, I think at that time it was the biggest (attendance wise) show in history in N. America.

sauce07 · 03-10-09, 10:54 AM

anybody else end up going? I made to Saturday and Sunday, with Saturday being one of the best shows i've ever seen. Amazing time all weekend, the Mothership has landed.
