judging the ticket situation over the last few tours, i think you would be foolish to try to buy tickets before the day of the show. east coast summer phish tour = extras abound
i agree...last year at spac there was a "ticket tree" in which someone wrapped a giant rubber band a round a tree newar the gate, and people were just putting extras in there and others could take them as they pleased.
Those extras would all be lawns, which at SPAC means you\'ll be seeing and hearing less of the show than the people at home on couch tour. SPAC pavs were VERY tough to come by.
I agree you would be foolish to buy ANY lawns at face, but if you get through on TM for seats you like when they go on sale then that seems like a good buy to me. Phish prices are still as low and reasonable as they come for any band that draws the numbers that they do.
I am definitely torn on whether to do PTBM or not. PTBM has certainly hooked up some good tickets over the years...but getting lawn\'d at $50 a pop is worse than getting nothing.
