Feel free to list your reason(s) based on your choice, genuinely curious.
i have tix for berkely and stanford (oysterhead) and 3 nights of deer creek in august. i'm paranoid.
I bought Tame impala United Center concert tickets a while back, but with Tame being featured in so many music festivals, was wondering if I should just sell the tickets and buy tickets to a music festival instead. I'm looking at Firefly rn.
Do you think it will be the same set? Is it worth it or do I keep my concert tickets?

Hi all, my name is Ron Smith, and I'm a 40-year-old quadriplegic living in West Philly. I get free streams from this group I am in for Phish. They are playing in California tonight at 7:30 PM, so 10:30 PM EST. Here in PA. I Don't have any cannabis but I am a pretty awesome dude to Chill with LOL and I can have visitors 24 seven, and I have my own room. With a flatscreen TV just could really use a HDMI cable so we can watch on my TV. Anyways, message me on here if you are interested. I don't have a cell phone. Take care everybody. Hope to hear from you. :-)

What else is a phish show to you?
That is all. I saw them in 2020 and the visuals were not near half as complete and cool as they are now. They spent a lot of time working on the visual art. Seriously the most amazing cinematics I've ever seen
/u/the_lonliest_monk! Congratulations on your first place, $25 from the Dry Good store, and a month of reddit gold.
Second place is... a bit complicated. It came to my attention that the 'Phishbill/comic' for Halloween leaked out earlier in the evening (as seen by some VERY precise guesses by a few users). This led to me deciding if I wanted to count the Halloween show or not. Ultimately, I'll be giving second place to both /u/gmh2188 and /u/TheMagicOfPhish. While gmh2188 did not correctly guess the Halloween show they would've gotten second with the Halloween show guesses thrown out. They will be getting a free show of their choice from LivePhish.com and a month of reddit gold.
Third place will be /u/buehler-buehler! They get one sticker/patch of their choice from the Phish Dry Goods store and a month of reddit gold.
BUT! The prizes do not end here. /u/BatmanCarroll is giving out a shirt from the Divided Sky fund to those who uniquely and correctly guessed a bustout. Those winners are: /u/themagicofphish (Winterqueen on 10/16), /u/mocksong (Billy Breathes on 9/5), /u/BearsPhanBuhBlam (Colonel Forbin's Ascent on 8/31), /u/achickie (Fly Famous Mockingbird on 8/31), and /u/Blacktron5000 (Ha Ha Ha on 8/27).
AND OTHER BUT! /u/phishlshirts is gifting out three shirts to three people who places in the top 25. Those users are /u/Phish97, /u/RFOX7777, and /u/jessbrid.
Congratulations to everyone and an immense thank you from the bottom of my heart for playing! Certainly my favorite year of Phish I have been a part of since 2017. I will be contacting everyone by the end of the week to get the appropriate info that I need from you to get you your prizes.
See you next year!

My pop punk journey started with Blink/Green Day, then NFG and Good Charlotte, then The Startling Line, Yellowcard, Taking Back Sunday and Fall Out Boy. I would consider Motion City Soundtrack my favorite band of all time. A few of mine are as follows (showing my age here):
2/13/2003: Yellowcard / Matchbook Romance / Motion City Soundtrack / Acceptance in Minneapolis, MN
4/24/2004: Yellowcard / Something Corporate / The Format in St. Peter, MN
8/3/2004: The Starting Line / Home Grown / The Early November / Senses Fail / Allister in Minneapolis, MN (Drive Thru Invasion Tour)
10/1/2004: Taking Back Sunday / Fall Out Boy / Matchbook Romance in Minneapolis, MN
Here’s mine:
1.) The Fame Album Release Party- Highline Ballroom, NYC
2.) The Fame Monster Album Tour Date at Terminal 5- NYC
3.) One of her 6 shows at Roseland Ballroom (NYC) before it closed forever. during the Fame Monster era. (This era lasted a very long time. Lol.)
3.) The Monster Ball - Madison Square Garden - NYC
4.) Carnegie Hall Benefit Concert (with Sting and Elton), NYC
4.) Lollapalooza (the year she headlined) - Chicago
5.) ArtRave Artpop Album Launch - Governor’s Island, NYC
6.) Joanne World Tour - Shea Stadium, NYC
And hopefully Chromatica Ball next summer at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey! 🤞🏼🙏🏼
Just have to say that it's been a total delight to have found a rare and beautiful thing on the interwebs: a respectful, loving community. A group of humans that mirrors the band's goal of always sending out positive messages and vibes into the fog that surrounds.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that the band is playing some incredible music that rivals the energy and jams of good old days. But I was thoroughly impressed by the way everyone reacted to the tragedy in San Francisco with support and respect. The way we always keep it friendly and light here. The way we help a brother out when he needs a playbill or a lost item found. The way we allow the band to swing for the fences without a huge amount of criticism. The way the mods let us be to police ourselves. It's all very "mature" and loving.
Good job, everybody. Can't wait to get more down with you at new years and for years to come.
Taylor Swift did the right thing when she announced refunds would be available for her rescheduled tour.
Personally, I don't feel comfortable going to a concert that could be rescheduled before vaccinations, etc. It also doesn't make sense for me to pay hundreds of dollars for something that may not happen for almost 2 years, so sadly I will be trying to get a refund for Gaga's Chromatica tour when the postponement announcement comes.
What will you all be doing for your concert/festival/tour tickets?
Has anyone heard anything about a possible festival this year? Curveball will be 4 years this summer so I figured something might happen. Covid or not.
