Non-Phish Shows/Meetups
#19

I’m leaning toward going. I put in for time off at work. Just need for the stars to align, so much going on at home these days.

Mmmmm, set times.

#20

^ Bring the kids! I’ll corrupt them for you.

#21

Have a friend selling two sets for $425 total, if anyone needed some less-than-faces.

#22

Going up to my family’s cabin that weekend to hit Copperstown and Howe caverns. Might hit the Sat show. :think: Did SB have single day tickets?

#23

So far the official work from the MagnaBall website is (FAQ):

"WILL SINGLE DAY TICKETS BE AVAILABLE?

No, there are currently no plans to offer single day tickets."

That being said, unless they sell out the 3-day passes to capacity they should release singles cause Phish likes the $$$$.

Hope you were not waiting to get tickets.

Magnaball is Sold out.

#27

Yeah, I was surprised to see that. I wonder how many they sold.

#28

I keep saying I’ll go to the next fest, and then I keep finding that I’m a damn liar. :problem:

#29

My guess (based on no factual evidence nor even hearsay) is 40k.

#30

Capacity is 60k, so they probably sold around 60k

EDIT: RLM set a self imposed cap at 30k

That’s not cool.

#31

Thanks for the source link; really helped to figure out the thinking behind the 30K cap.

EDIT: I found a source from a local (Corning, NY) newspaper.

#32

Sorry about that, was posting in a rush.

That was also the source I saw. Though I just saw a .net post saying someone had been in touch with the head of security and he said there would really be 60k. Seems fishy though…

#33

30k sounds perfect to me. Should be nice a breezy! :thumbup:

#34

^I’m not going but yep that is a perfect number.

What I find interesting is attendance for superball was relatively close to these numbers and that was over a holiday with that tour being heavy on the NE dates.

#35

I think many many people were waiting to buy tickets at the gate or their plans didn’t fall in to place yet. Judging by the backlash, more than 30k people were planning to attend.

#36

True. But what maybe Another 1,000/1500 if you take that into consideration.

#37

If that’s the case there wouldn’t be much harm in a small rerelease
