Phish in 2009
« Reply #1950 on: April 12, 2009, 01:45:21 pm »
I probably shouldn\'t have done this, but curiosity finally got the best of me....I just checked on a flight to Denver for Red Rocks against my 3 years\' worth of credit card miles that I\'ve never used, and yes, I have a free flight.  And 3 different friends I can stay with in CO...

...and I\'m currently watching a stagnant EBay auction for a 4-day pass that is finishing in 16 minutes and is coming in undervalued ($850) because the seller only has 1 feedback.

Somebody stop me, quick.  Please.  Help.  Call me.  Stop me.....

.....

.....

9 minutes to go.  Still $850.  Do it Wolfman.  Grow a pair.  

NO!  This is ridiculous.  There are other shows.  I don\'t have enough vacation time.

It\'s just a click away.  Killer value.  Flight/lodging/tickets all for $850.  If you saw that deal at some travel agency, you would never believe it.  Hit it.  You\'ve done it before.  Never regretted a thing.  

STOP!  It\'s insane.  I am NOT paying $212.50 a night for Phish shows.  I don\'t care if the whole trip is a great value, it\'s just not worth it.

......

I feel like Gollum talking to his reflection in the pool of water.

.......

5:37 to go, still $850.  Might not see a price like this again....

Step away from the computer or step into Red Rocks....


.......

3 minutes left, $850.  DO IT DO IT DO IT!  Can anyone resist the DO IT chant?

.......

1:20 left, $935....ahhhh.....desire: Gone.  But not forgotten.

Auction closed at $935, cheapest I\'ve seen yet that had no reserve. A good buy for the buyer, all things considered, as long as the seller has their act together.

That was dangerously close.  I\'d better watch myself...

Call it being sensible or call it being chicken, it\'s certainly some mix of both.  Can I save face by calling it 75% sensible, 25% chicken? :)

We all should be hearing about Fenway Lottery Tickets either today or tomorrow.

Hope that everyone\'s requests are filled.

FWIW tickets to Shoreline are going for face value out here and it seems  to be coming down to that for The Gorge also.

There was an eBay auction for 2 Shoreline lawns that ended yesterday at $92 or so. Seems that prices are coming back to reality except for a handful of shows (red rocks, fox, asheville, and a couple others).

TICKET MARKET GURU SAYS:[/COLOR][/B]

Sorry bro, not a chance.  Please see Ticket Market Guru\'s last post.  It would take 125,000 seats in Boston for Phish not to be an instant sellout.  They might as well be upgrading from the Middle East to The Paradise.  Yeah, twice the capacity, great, but still nowhere near demand.  Yeah, with double the capacity your chances might have doubled from 1:1,000 to 1:500 but guess what?  It\'s still a huge longshot.  Also keep in mind that Red Sox season ticket holders have an exclusive batch of tickets that they are battling for, so the pool of tickets available to the public will be smaller or hardly any bigger than it was for Great Woods or Hartford.

Meanwhile, Guru is proving right once again based on leith\'s comment of Shoreline and Gorge falling to face.  They will be below face in the last 10 days before the show.  Same with SPAC.  Red Rocks is coming down too, the 4-day pass will be solidly down to three digits ($950-$999) within the next 10 days.

Is there anyone flying out to the gorge shows and doing Darien Lake that hasn\'t booked their flight yet and would be interested in flying into Chicago after gorge and hitting up toyota park that Tuesday and the Rock and Roll HOF Wednesday before treking to Darien? I\'m probably taking the whole work week off and want to do this. I\'ll pick you up at the airport in Chicago. Just putting it out there to see if there is any interest, or even any interest from anyone who isn\'t flying to Washington. Details can be worked out at a later date.


if red rocks doesnt happen for me, i may be in chi town looking for a ride to darien. i will keep you posted, its far too early to tell
