Wow, I've seen this sort of thing happen before, but never to this extreme. And in those situations, it's happened when the concert was likely to sell out on day one. It begs the question: Who bought all of the tickets? Phish fans? Ticket resellers? Scalpers? Are they being held back to try and get people to "panic" and buy up the cheap seats, with blocks of good seats to be released at a later date? Is this something that is being conducted by Ticketmaster and/or Live Nation and/or the Molson Ampitheatre, or is it something happening because of outside forces? It is interesting to follow this from a business perspective, and frustrating from a fan perspective. I remember when the Phish show at Darien Lake sold out in 2009. I know a few friends who bought tickets from Stubhub for a premium. Come show time, there were all kinds of extras in the lot. I personally would not buy a greatly marked up ticket to this show. Not because I'm against it morally, but simply because I still hope to be able to buy a good ticket to this show on the day of this show for face value. And on July 9, I will almost certainly be able to buy a ticket in the 400's or on the lawn for face value (or even less). And keeping the positive train of thought, if there really are this many people wanting to go to a Phish show in Toronto, maybe next year they'll come for a 3 day long weekend run! But it's still damn frustrating to this fan who simply wants to buy good tickets at a fair price! Peace, Mark
