Flood Recovery Benefit Shows, Saratoga Springs, New York on August 25 + 26, 2023

[rowjimmy]

Phish will play two special shows at the Broadview Stage at SPAC (Saratoga Performing Arts Center) in Saratoga Springs, New York on August 25 + 26, 2023. The concerts will benefit Vermont and Upstate New York flood recovery efforts. Communities throughout the region were inundated earlier this month with historic levels of rain and major flooding.

A short, one-day ticket request period is currently underway at https://phishfloodrecoverybenefit.shop.ticketstoday.com and ends this Wednesday, July 26 at 12PM ET. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Saturday, July 29 at 10AM ET. Travel packages will be available and go on sale on Friday, July 28 at 9AM ET.

A limited number of Foundation Tickets will also be available which include a ticket to the show, a private pre-show performance with Phish's Trey Anastasio and Page McConnell, access to the Foundation Lounge before and throughout the show, and special Foundation poster and merch, in addition to other amenities. More information can be found at https://phishfloodrecoverybenefit.100xhospitality.com/.

100% of net proceeds from all concert and merchandise sales will be directed to The WaterWheel Foundation's 2023 Flood Recovery Fund, which will support the many victims and their families, area businesses and non-profits. The Recovery Fund will support both shorter term needs and long-term recovery and resiliency projects.

Created by Phish in 1997 to oversee the band's various charitable activities, The Waterwheel Foundation has been harnessing the kindness of the Phish fan community to create positive change for over 25 years.

Woo! A rumor I heard finally came true.

It's brutal - you could pay $500 extra for Foundation tickets which gets you into the Trey/Page set and still be stuck on the lawn for the Phish show. That's a horrible option.

Took me a minute to figure out what Trey was teasing there!

Apparently The Wizaed of Oz opened in American theaters on August 25th, 1939. So that explains that.

Lots of signs point toward a guest or two sitting in. Apparently some slide guitar heard during sound check. Space for an amp and some extra monitor wedges.

THAT WAS AWESOME

Wow

I only livestreamed from Everything's Right on, but what I saw was no less than incredible. I need more Derek in my life.

My ex and daughter had good pav seats and stubbed me in--danced with them for Ghost-2001-Golden Age. Phenomenal good times.

Safe of the 24 hour rule, this show fucking owns.
