Ticket Market Guru Breaks Down Phenway![/B]Fenway concert capacity is about the same as a game, maybe a smidge more; 37-40K. They add a ton of seats in the outfield, but they close about the same number in the bleachers and RF grandstand.
The fact that 40K is double the capacity of anything on Summer Tour makes no difference. 40K is still nowhere near demand. In MA, a venue would have to seat 125,000 people in order for Phish to not be an instant sellout. Prepare for you and your crew to be shut out like you were facing Josh Beckett.
Look for the scene to continue to self destruct as people all over the country put in for Fenway tickets that they have no intention of using. 4 out of 5 phans trying for tickets will have no intention of going. We\'re not even factoring in scalpers, this is phans taking tickets from phans by going for trade bait. But they\'re in for a rude awakening when they realize that there just aren\'t that many people in New England sitting on loose Red Rocks and Mansfield tickets. There\'s always a few, but there ain\'t ten thousand of them, it\'s not possible.
With everyone going for RR it was at least somewhat legit, because anyone in their right mind who got in is going to actually fly to CO and go. But nobody is flying to Boston for one Sunday night show.
The number of people who actually want to go to Fenway to see Phish is probably around 125,000. The number of people who just want the tickets is probably closer to 750,000.
Same as summer tour, look for Phenway tickets to start at $200 on the secondary market, and $350 for field seats. Then wait for the market to correct itself in the last 10 days before the show when idiots in California and Indiana (etc.) realize they\'re not going to be able to trade their Fenways over the internet for Shorelines and Deer Creeks. As always, good luck to everyone and share your extras with your friends in need!
