So i might actually request tickets this year. I Have a question about it. When you put in for the request do they just give you any tickets if you get any? Like i dont wanna request and get stuck with fucking lawns. Or are akll requests given indoor seats.

The only way to avoid getting lawns is to request "Taper only." I wouldn't do that if I weren't taping, though.

Randalls Island is dope. I have seen a bunch of great shows there. Beasties w/ Biz Markie was the shiz....Parking/getting there is dogshit. It will be worse traffic then Big Cypress or Coventry if you had to go in the front way. I heard that was terrible :roll:......the rest of hit holds no allure to me, though I do like the Mann as far as sheds go. I can safely say that save for a last minute trip to Dicks, I will not be seeing any shows this summer. And I am pretty sure I will bail on Dicks. The west coast fall itinerary is too strong for me to want to miss any of it really, so I am saving my money and vacation time for that. Have fun everyone!

What's the deal with Chicago tickets? GA Floor? Reserved? Lawn? Where do I want to be?

Knowing your preference to actually see the band, you would hate the lawn. I hear the sound ain't bad out there, but the sight-lines are pretty much non-existent.
The reserved is all off to one side or the other. The GA floor gives you a lot of flexibility as to where you stand and it's generally not insanely crowded on the floor (mostly because it's nearly impossible to stub down from the lawn).

floor - 100%
floor or stands. I stood in the stands on the third night and it was awesome. But if you get a floor ticket you can pretty much go anywhere floor or stands. If you get just stands tickets, I am sure you can end up getting to the floor somehow, dont remember it being that hard.
I must say, from the floor and from standing on the stands. I could see the first row of ppl standing on the lawn and no more and that was like 8 rows up in those bleachers. so take that into account. Site views from the lawn are probably very poor.

I got floors through ticketmaster without issue.

i thought the same thing. if mail order were floor only, i'd be super psyched. but i saw this a little further down the page...
Our allotment of tickets for each show is limited, so we may not be able to fulfill every request that we receive. This allotment will contain tickets in all areas for a given venue across all price levels where applicable, including general admission lawn tickets.
Ah, fuck that then.
Last year mail order was for ga floors or reserved stands or best available. They hadn't announced the existence of a ga lawn at the venue yet when mail order happened. This year it's like any other. Best available means you're at the whim. Of the lottery.
I think I'm gonna hold off and just try for a 3-day floor pass from ticketbastard.
Quote from: PG on March 12, 2014, 04:22:55 PM
(mostly because it's nearly impossible to stub down from the lawn).
i actually stubbed a friend down to the floor last year. it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be.
seems as though the presale is for GA floor/stands only based off of the price they are showing. lawns are cheaper ($45 as opposed to $60) so best available at this time would be best available out of only GA floor and stands.
the "our allotment...." disclaimer is on every date so it seems to be a standard thing they include on there regardless of which tickets are included in the presale.
this is the way im seeing it at least.
Finally put in for my tickets. Don't forget to do that, Phanners.
Probably not gonna put in for anything
This is one tour where there is really no tough ticket.
You can at least get into every show I bet even if you show up without a ticket before the show.
Hard tickets are gonna be the saturday shows (obvious)
Maybe Portsmouth, but the tues/weds placement makes me think it will be pretty easy. 2012 wasnt bad at all durin the week.
Gonna hopefully score sat/sun pavs for mpp on the public on sale, and then maybe an alpharetta too. And thats about it.

It's the same way for all the shows I looked at -- single, higher price for the "best available" option and the "includes lawns" disclaimer below. I read that to mean they are showing you the higher price but you could still get anything.
This year my plan was to wait until the public onsale. Really not interested in pulling a bunch of lawns in the lotto. I'll use the fact that I literally couldn't give away Hampton tickets last year as an indicator that good seats should be easy enough to come by, even if it has to be the secondary market.

that's how I took it too
is it just me or is this tour got some of the lamest venues/dates on record?
just nothing looks like "ooo, that's the ticket" ... i guess maybe Spac.
or maybe i'm just pissed the midwest rumors didnt pan out, lol. :-(
...and maybe i'm jus getting old and there seems to be less and less of the classic venues each year as the new places get the dates.

that was a dirty lie. pie-guy hooked me up with my floors last year. :oops:
Let the holds begin
I def. have a hold for my MPP tix. And based on the charge, I got 2 tix, 1 pav and 1 lawn is my guess.
Seems like I have a hold for Philly
nothing.
cuz i didnt put in for anything! :wink:
I put in for 1 ticket each night of SPAC plus 1 3-day pass for Chicago. I got holds representing 100% lawns. FML.
This is the first time I didn't put in a request for any shows. I'm hoping my luck continues with TM.
Patiently waiting for e-mail.
Pretty sure my request went straight into the bin as usual.
Wow, I was about to just quote RJ but decided to actually check first. Looks like I hit for my entire order. By the amounts, seems like 4 lawns for one night and 4 pavs for the other.
First time I've hit the lotto since NYE 2002. Stoked.

all I got was a randalls pass which I knew from my hold amount. tough ticket, you know?
I am sure there will be 50 sets of mics in mansfield for the 75 seats they designate for tapers.
LOL phish fans.
First time I got anything in the lottery...
Got lawn LOL.
:samurai:
This is why I did not put in for lottery.
E-mail received - I got my GW tickets and they're not lawn. All good.
spac 3 lawn
WOOT WOOT!
First lottery won since I got my 1/1/11 ticket.
Got Mann balconys. I'm happy.
got everything i put in for.
spac - 1 night lawn, 2 nights pavs
ntelos - 1 each night
gotta put in some work this weekend via TM.
This should help...
(http://i.imgur.com/Z4dv4M8.jpg)
so, i dont really remember. if you are trying for multiple days, do you essentially have to add one show to your cart, then add the next and so on?
im thinking most people will be trying for 3 day passes for chicago, so my odds are better if i do them individually. i'm just not sure if it will suck up too much time if i have to complete one transaction, then start a new one for the next day. does that make sense?
Friday night at Randall's. GA. Meh.

High demand! No matches...
I don't even know why I try getting tickets online anymore.
Looking for two Pavs for the Mann if anyone ended up with extras.
Got nothing for Mann.
Where is this presale info coming from? I checked B'ham but only tier 3 was available so I guess I'll take my chances with the public onsale tomorrow.

I kept trying and trying and I finally just got one for Tuesday night and trying for Wednesday now. There's a 10% chance I'm going to the shows, unfortunately. If I don't go, I'll put whatever I get up on the paug...

uncovered seating. you are basically in the lawn but in a stand.
Yeah but that could maybe make it easier to move up to the pav.
Then there would also already be a chair for RJ when he gets there, no need to bring one

i will also add that as small as the balcony is, it has always been very easy to get up there.
Interesting that the FB version of :phish: has announced the Mann shows as sold out (23 minutes ago). I have pulled lawns since that was posted... :-o
Anyone need 2 Orange Beach?
I need 1 :roll:
Keep trying I'm seeing singles.
Sitting on lousy Alpharetta pavs, what to do....
Clicking through the TM screens to buy time as I tried to decide whether to pull the trigger... got a broswer error at the login screen... so I tried again and boom, GA pit. 8-)

Nothing fell into place for me this go around.

You know I'm into teaming up.
early weekday shows. 14,000 capacity. i gotta say, i did not see a quick mann sell out coming at all.
I'm not familiar with how the 3-day pass works at SPAC. Has anyone ever gotten one that was an actual seat or do they just do lawns?

In order to get a 3-day pass that is in the pav you would have to have the same seats every night - it's next to impossible. You will get lawns if you go for the 3-day through TM.

So you're saying I'm gonna have to work for this? :|
Mansfield covered pavilions were coming up very late. I am sure they still are.
I was able to get a ticket in the section where the taping section is, just a couple rows back. it'll work.
How in the world can MPP a 18,000 seat theatre sell out in 5 min and nTelos a 6,000 seat venue still have tix?
I know its a weekend vs weekday but man this is frustrating.
im still pullin lawns for mpp
if anyone can get me preferred parking for SPAC July 5th I'd appreciate it.

i remember at a SPring 94 show there were people giving away STACKS of unused tickets right before the show, :wtu:

That is bizarre. Tiny venue and it's all GA -- I would be all over that if it were closer.
Perhaps the IL > VA > AL routing means it won't just be a tour stop for many people.
Well, all i'm pulling is lawns for SPAC so fuck that shit.
Managed to get one pav for the 5th sec 13 of course
Just so you know
I am still pulling pavs for sunday mpp
and lawns for sat
I have Thursday balconies to trade for Saturday pavillion or balcony??!
Pulled a pair of balcony tix for SPAC 3
For sale 2 lawns

ticketmaster sucks, but at least their website is decent at handling traffic. that ticketfly site is the biggest piece of crap i've ever bought tickets from. i had 5 devices going at work for awhile and i got nowhere with mpp tickets. i had to buy lawns. :shakehead:

ticketfly gets jammed up and then will give you warnings about how all tickets are in other carts. Just keep trying.

most of the buttons on that site didn't even work! you had to go directly from the link on phish.com to get anywhere.
Managed to pull halfway decent pavs for Charlotte.
The trick, I've found, is to have multiple browsers (and devices if you can) going at once and just keep progressively moving through the steps to buy time as you pull better and better tickets. With all the screens you have something like 7 minutes per order to decide. You won't always pull the best ones on your first try, as people end up losing or discarding tickets they were holding on to. Today, the Charlotte tickets I settled on I pulled about 20+ minutes into the onsale.
Also, little known fact but TM will let you exchange your seats in many instances. So go back to the even page after the hysteria dies down and after they've switched to the "pick your seats" map. You can see what's still available and there may be better ones that are free. As long as they cost the same or more, you can call TM and you may be able to exchange.
Also, for some reason I've had decent luck going through a phone. TM's site is better since it's actually mobile optimized; LN just makes you use the regular site it seems.
These showed up this weekend.

See Fuego thread.
almost every show this tour has a jam/song thats 20+ min,
this is what we have been wanting right?
Partly.
While the music is getting better as of late, I've noticed a trend with some songs.
Some of the best songs for jam potential are being played, their timings have shown them to be shorter than usual....IE: they aren't using them to jam.....on the flip side, normally shorter songs are getting some lengthening.....That, and the set structure is getting more and more GD like (sorry but what else is there to compare it to?). 1st sets contain songs, and 2nd sets are where the "jamz" are. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, but for the most part I am starting to see that formula.

you think is new to this year? I don't study setlists anymore and I don't listen to a high percentage of shows but I have felt this especially true the past few years.
2nd set usually starts with the jam. they "segue" (as much as Phish segues) the whole first ha;f of the set.
it's usually the same sings a tour that are jammed out. rock n roll a few years ago, carini last year, fuego seems to taking that role this tour.
I am not saying there is anything wrong with this formula and you can take enjoyment int he shows but this seems to me that it has been happening this way for the past few years.

Couldn't agree more.
no, not that it is new to this year in the formula.....just the songs the formula is being applied on....I could have stated that a lil clearer I suppose.

then, yeah, I agree. the songs change but the formula is fairly consistent (definitely have exceptions).
I just feel like tours become fairly predictable, but the music is still enjoyable.
Ya...it's getting to be cookie cutter.....
Even though it didn't really result in much and hasn't happen again yet, I am still happy to see this tour produce a song go bigger in the first set(Randall's gin). And that hasn't seem to happen in a while.
week off time to take stock. Tour hightlights? Mine are as follows:
Hood - 1July
CDT - 13July
Wombat - 18July
some other nugs here and there ie. 3July Limb for ex. however those are my Top 3. what are your personal highlights?
^ agreed with that except I would swap out wombat with either the 7/20 Wedge or the 7/13 tweez
Official MPP shirt.
Might be the first phish t-shirt I've liked in a LONG time.
^^^I would definitely grab one of those.
Thought about doing Webcast + T-Shirt combo, but it came to $50 and that's just not cool.

How do we feel about the LP boards this tour? I've been going back to auds when grabbing whole shows; not sure if that's just a wrinkle in preference or some subliminal force at work.

Entry #1
I've had a few favs so far, but I've never liked a first gig as much as I did this Summer. Bass players spend their lives, worrying about "punch." The amp must have punch. And it makes sense because it needs to be physical. But if it's just a lot of deep vibration, that excludes the sudden impact that "punch" implies. And so many mentors have talked about how all you need is "time and tone" – and they are so interrelated.
At Mansfield I learned that it's all about swing. I don't know what combination of mood and acoustics makes for a gig that will swing, but that is my sole job as bass player. The rhythm doesn't have to be "swung" per se – a rhythm that has tiny divisions of three. It's just that the feel has to be actually like swinging the notes back and forth like a swing. Straight rhythms can feel swingy, not to mention those incredible half swung feels that rock and roll is based on. Bob Weir recently said that that is what the Rock and the Roll are – the combination of swung and straight, along with the sexual innuendoes, etc.
So I swung my ass off. I can't always get myself to, and then the tone came together. Then came the punch. I liked Philly 2, Randall's 3 a lot, just like everyone else, and Chicago 3, and bits of all the others. The swingy punchy thing – instead of picturing a swing, picture a rubber band – it's not literally my bass strings, but might as well be – it's the moments – the notes within the flow – one snaps back at the next with the inevitability of snapping that rubber band. On a good night.
Entry #2
The reason to do multiple soundchecks is we keep dialing in the sound even more and more. When the gigs get better, less becomes more. I can even play just root notes and it still feels "interesting" because the propulsion feels so good – the "coolness" of the melody is irrelevant to the feeling of flight. Though it becomes possible for the simplest of melodies to feel unique.
My attempt at a formula: A leads to B to C
A) The reasons for a good gig, but distant guessing:
All the practice we do (we were at Mansfield for two intense practices the days before)
Dialing the sound in for three days (including soundcheck) – with the sound even across the bass
Having new material feels good
B) What happens:
Less becomes more – only root notes sometimes, just serving the situation – even one note can be super fresh and creative
The Swing comes
C) The result:
The space between the notes comes – the chunkiness.
The feeling of flying through air – even the air from my fan on stage becomes a cognitively paired signifier of flying (not to mention the fans).
Entry #3
In a nutshell: the music plays itself.
Entry #4 – Fish and Elasticity.
He has been listening back to a lot of our gigs and noticed that when it's really happening we are NOT ALWAYS hitting together. I am guessing that one reason is that each person is true to their own groove, which is important – like each groove having a deep commitment to its own swing even if it doesn't line up exactly with the others.
