Just some words of wisdom from the ticket market guru:
After Saturday\'s onsale, EVERYONE is gonna hit the secondary market. Right now roughly $250 per show can get you in to each night. After Saturday, with everyone having no more hope at face value tickets, the secondary market will blow up and I expect that tickets will start going for $350-$400 a pop as buyers hit the market in large numbers.
If you are on the fence about maybe going secondary market or not, now is probably the best time to get in. Being just 1 year removed from the gutsiest ticket purchase I will ever make (a Super Bowl ticket 4 months in advance) I just want to share that if you know you want to do it and you can possibly spare the money, just have the guts to do it. You\'ll be glad you did. You\'ll have 4.5 fantastic months just to look forward to it, and a lifetime to look back on it afterwards. And somewhere down the road, you won\'t be thinking about where the $750 went, you\'ll just think about how incredible the shows were. I\'ll leave you with something I posted in February in the football thread. (Edited to apply to Phish.) This helped me get through the anxiety of going through with it, and it was the best decision I ever made. Even though the unthinkable happened and the Patriots lost the game, it was one of the best times I will ever have. Even if Phish does the unthinkable and doesn\'t have it, it will be one of the best times you ever have. You only live once. Life is too short to miss Phish shows. If you\'re on the fence, I hope this helps you land on the right side.
"First, look in the mirror, and ask yourself, in all serious honesty, "Am I a Phish fan? Does it really matter to me?" If you look yourself in the eye and answer yes, then you have to do it. You have to get to these shows. And know this: The more you think about it, the more you\'ll talk yourself out of it. Don\'t over think it. Just put your fist on the table, call your most key buddy in the world, and get it done. You won\'t be sorry."
Congrats to those who have won already, good luck to everyone on Saturday, and may those of you on the fence land on the right side.
that was one of the greatest motivational speeches ive ever heard.
How\'d you get the audio version of .info? I want one too.
