hartford is the same weekend as the harpoon brewery ride :doh:

I\'m going to put in for it, but this would be a friday night in hartford, and then have to be in vermont near sunapee by 5am to get 1 hour sleep on a bus ride to burlington and then ride my bike across the state. :banghead:

I put in for darien lake, hartford and saratoga. Can\'t wait for my rejection letter! :sadban:

also,. I placed it somewhere northeast of gonzales, but got bored after a couple of minutes of looking. too many rivers. someone will find it by morning.

How many tickets do they set aside for the pre-order? Should I even bother? I hate submitting my credit card info unless I know I\'m actually getting something. I deduct all credit card receipts in order for the checkbook balance to fully reflect all pending charges at all times - I don\'t want to be adding back the charge if it is highly likely to be cancelled. (yes - I\'m aware that this is a very regimented approach to credit cards/checkbooks but I like control over my finances unlike most of the stupid **** in this land who operate with zero prudence :flag:).

They won\'t deduct it from your credit card unless (until) you get the tickets. So it\'s not really a pending charge.

If anyone out there isn\'t planning on going to Red Rocks but is doing an order for other shows, do me a favor and throw in all Red Rocks and if you get any of them them I will buy them from you the next day at 110% what you paid for them. PM me if you want to confirm. Thanks!

Just threw in a request.

Any idea how many tickets or what % of venue they set aside?

Thanks Al!

Red Rocks has 9,450 capacity. Phish typically gets about 20% of the tickets to each show to distribute through preorder, but of course this could vary from show to show and I make no claims about knowing what they get for any show. But if they have 20% of these tix that means they have 1,890 tickets or 945 pairs per show. I\'m guessing they\'ll probably get 200,000 requests for each RR red rocks show, so your chances of winning any given show are 1 in 212 or .48%

Lot show will get shut down in 5 minutes like it did last time. This is a Nazi lot. Sully\'s would be okay, I\'m not sure how many people would go there after the show and it\'s tough to get out with traffic but only a few would have to go to pack it.

The insane &^$% will be The Warehouse after this show, whoever is there. If Warehouse is smart they\'ll get someone that Phish fans like for this night. Brothers Past, UMelt, Breakfast...whoever...it\'ll be awesome.

I disagree with the lot comment. I think that it\'d be good exposure. The last three meadows lot show that I could find looked like this:

June 25th, 2000 Allman Bros. Show Meadow?s Parking Lot Hartford, CT

I: LDZ > Attraction to Shade Ditty > Help on the Way > Slipknot! > Taboo or Not Taboot, See the Light*

II: See the Light** > Beef Barley > Frankly Po Zest, Buquebus > Moby Dick^, Drum Solo

* Cut off by Parking Lot Police
** Started where left off
^ Parking Lot Police again ? ended with drum solo

June 30th, 2000 Phish Show Meadows Parking Lot Hartford, CT
I: Superfly Phaddy Fat > Gladys Pimp > I?m the Slime > Tribal Funk Affliction, Phaddy Boom Baddy,
Episode 1 (Happy), 2001 > Grand Scheme of Things* > Drum Solo > Sunshine of Your Love >
Taboo or Not Taboot, Attraction to Shade Ditty > No Glove No Love, Scarlet Begonias > Lit,
Good Times Bad Times > Bugs, May Fly Disarray, Garcian Fishbowl, Beef Barley > Funky Bill?s

*Unfinished / Many Phish teases throughout performance

August 26th, 2001 Meadows Music Theatre Parking Lot Hartford, CT

I: Jam > Tribal Funk Affliction* > Flower Punk > Spunk > 2001 > Spunk

* unfinished.

I\'m not sure which show the 2001 lot show was for, but judging my the setlist, it was probably at least 45 minutes. The phish lot show in 2000 was basically a long one set show and the Allman show, while it had it\'s snags also provided a good chunk of music. Are these going to be glorified shows in the lot, no, but why not take advantage of getting heard by thousands of people that already like the style of music. I actually feel that it would be benefitial if they played the Hartford lot as well as the other phish lots that are within a reasonable driving distance, that is, unless there are scheduled gigs on those days...

still isn\'t confirmed, but this is why i was thinking that texas will be where the fest is held. who knows, though....

As the animation looks from space and pans in on the globe, then North America, and then… Texas??? it makes little sense as to what this has to do with the band’s tour. However, doing a little research and utilizing Google’s Earth and Maps features reveals much more: the location is a small, family owned farm in Georgetown, Texas outside of Austin. View the Google map here for a comparison to the image above. There’s no doubt this is the same property. Also of note is the “09” in summer tour, plastered on the image. 09/09?

Calls to Georgetown’s Public Information Office did not verify that Phish will be throwing a festival, but do indicate that a touring band with a substantial following has indicated interest in using the location for a festival in late September. While it certainly is far from confirmed that Phish is playing a season-ending festival, there’s no doubt that the band has always had a playful, humorous nature with their fans when it comes to revealing tour information.

also, it sounds like the breakfast booking the warehouse isn\'t gonna happen, if oldnewbie is correct....
