Price range link makes no mention of a lawn option.Looks like anyone left with a lawn ticket will be moved into the pav.Capacity now 9,000.

Northern Wish Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 This makes me wonder if those walk up sales were really that strong- or if most people can't make the 22nd and took the refund.In my group its about 50/50 for those returning vs. those who can't.I took the refund.

AD Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Could be the lawns are closed til they are in better shape? Or not. Just speculating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I just checked for the next scheduled show at the Molson Amp which happens to be Train (w Franti and Spearhead?!) tomorrow night. Lawns are for sale.This appears to be related to demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 So the next Phish show, if there ever will be another, in Toronto will be at Echo Beach? Perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 This makes me wonder if those walk up sales were really that strongI said this in another thread but I was right there by the box office. I have never seen such an empty box office in all my days. Not strong sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 All tix are now 75 bucks no matter where you sit?A better way to put this would be: any seat you can purchase is now in the $75 price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 So if someone I don't know gave me a lawn ticket (from Phish not TM) would they have been able to have the ticket cost refunded to them making the ticket useless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hi Betty, I know you will be getting lots of mail so I will keep it short. What the heck happened with the ticketing for Toronto? At both PTBM and regular onsale time the best tickets that were being found by most (I will admit that one friend did receive Pits from the lottery) were 400 level at best.Immediately following the onsale there was an onslaught of 200s to StubHub.We all tried really hard to get good tix for the first show back in TO since 2000 (I was there and at 99 too); and then to watch Ticketmaster drop 300s and Pits over the weekend and then all of the remaining 200s yesterday.I won't swear- or stomp on my soapbox- but I will just say that I am supremely dissapointed. I read that Phish got a $1 mill dollar bonus to play only LNation venues last summer. I would expect that will have to stay in place as fewer and fewer fans want to buy bad seats at the onsale- and will rather wait for prices to fall drastically on the secondary market due to the backhanded tactics. Would Phish really rather have Live Nations money, than from their own fans? Perhaps that is one of the reasons they are no longer a band that sells out shows, but sells out its fans.Lets be honest here the band or management is clearly playing with the on sales to ensure that the worst seats are eaten up by real fans, and then maybe you get some casual interlopers to buy the good seats near the show. Somehow this seems like a better way to sell more tickets to someone like Coran.This is not acceptable and Phish fans won't stand for it. I will never ever buy tickets to a Phish event in advance again.I hope the lid gets blown off of this situation like all of those manhole covers during the massive storm last night.Even though I love the band -this will be my 63rd show- all travelling far and wide from Canada (even during the days of 52% currency exchange)- this is the first time I feel like they don't love us.Too bad, so sad.

fluffhead77 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 If you have a lawn ticket, how are they assigning seating in the pavilion? Couldn't see any info on the TM page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I just envisioned you reading the TM page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 This is an assumption, but I suspect that all of the pavilion tickets will be distributed in the same manner as the Stones $85 tix- without the mysterious envelope. An hour before show time they print every unsold ticket save maybe 50, they are distributed to the people checking tickets at the gate and if you pass them a lawn ticket, they will issue you one for the pavilion.

Northern Wish Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hahaha. Maybe they sold enough of the seats to open it up? There really weren't that many left even in the 400s earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Ticket prices have really gone up on StubHub eh? The cheapest I'm seeing now is $39 for a lawn ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Um, supply and demand is pretty simple. Why would anyone sell a ticket for below cost when they can get it refunded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
