bradm Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 From the latest Phish mailing list missive: IT'S HAPPENING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Phish will end their summer tour with "It", a 2-day festival held at the former Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine on August 2 + 3, 2003. "It" will be Phish's first time back to the legendary site which brought you "The Great Went" in 1997 and "Lemonwheel" in 1998. We've spent a great deal of energy on looking at how we can improve the site. Initial plans involve us placing the stage in a central location, allowing fans much closer proximity to the performance area. In addition, we hope to be able to have everyone be able to park and camp on grass. As with all Phish festivals, It will feature three sets of PHISH each day, as well as numerous attractions and art installations created by talented teams of artists and performers. Tickets for It go on sale this Thursday, March 27 at 12 NOON via Phish Tickets-by-Mail, located at http://phishtickets.rlc.net , and via Ticketmaster Online at http://ticketmaster.com . Tickets may also be charged by phone at the following Northeast Ticketmaster numbers: 207.775.3331, 617.931.2000, 413.733.2500, 212.307.7171, 802.862.5300, 518.476.1000, 401.331.2211, and 757.671.8100. There is a limit of 6 tickets per person. As we said above, we're making a considerable effort on creating a more comfortable experience, and as a result, the capacity for this year's event has been reduced from years past. We strongly recommend that tickets be purchased well in advance. We'll be creating a special web site for It that we hope to launch within a couple of weeks. Stay tuned for more info.

Chewie Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 No Toronto, no Columbus, no Darien Lake, no my parents back yard!...damn! I guess it's deer creek and maine for me.

Northern Wish Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Well I am pumped for "IT". That should be great especially if they are improving on how things ran at the Went and the Wheel..... But I gotta say that living in my new home in Rhode Island I thought I was gonna have access to far more shows than just the Went and Scumden NJ. I thought I'd be getting blissed out in Great Woods at least, but oh well. Its funny that moving all this way, and I still can't seem to avoid a long haul to any freakin Phish show.......

MoMack Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 Yeah, not too exciting from this vantage point... you'd think they'd come full out and do as many as they can to try and saturate the market that will undoubtably be crazy packed. ahh well... plenty of fish in the sea...

colinw Posted March 25, 2003 Report Share Posted March 25, 2003 This is great. If everyone else is bitching about the cost and schedule, I shouldn't have trouble getting tickets to do a run from Deer Creek through to Limestone. I am hoping the Fall tour is a littlemore East Coast friendly, but I am sure it will. There are lots of arenas around here! Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
