Not that everyone didnt already know they were doing it, but.....

Ticket lottery on.

[concert andy]

The calendar says that everyday of this run is essentially a weekend.

Fri 28 - Monday 31st.

I will def make one or two of these shows.

[B. Diddy]

This is just not possible. I'll have you know that Gregoir said that Phish could not be playing MSG because the biggest act in the Universe, The Disco Biscuits, are playing the theater, and there's NO WAY that Phish would want to try to have a show next to that one.

[Jwheelz]

unless it promises to be 85°F in New York at the end of December I will not be there

Although with the world scheduled to end 7 days prior maybe it will be warm enough for me to go

My cat has stinky breath today.

eiiwww, the garden is going to smell of hippies.

This sounds interesting!

Will there be pens outside the venue?

[Tim the Beek]

'Cept for the New Year's Eve in Manhattan part of it. That part sounds kinda like a lower level Hell to me.

28 and/or 29 and/or 30 could be fun. Unless I'm livin' farther away from the City on those dates than I am currently...

Nah! Navigating around the city is EASY! Trick is to get there early and get room within walking distance. Never had a problem other than with the drunken idiots I shared space with at said room.

[Jwheelz]

getting the room has always been the problem for me... never have a big enough... posse... to make it affordable

[Jwheelz]

after the miserable freezing cold experience I had last December 28, it's not worth it to me to go see Phish, maybe they'll book a warm weather show that doesn't occur on a random weekday at a venue with no public transportation access sometime in the next decade

[TEO]

Yeah because they care about their fans!

[Jwheelz]

they totally do, the presale availability of wheelchair accessible tickets totally makes that clear... oh wait

[TEO]

[Feck]

public transportation

bus to the ferry
ferry to Manhattan
subway to the Beacon*
elapsed time 1.5 hrs

the return could take up to an hour longer




* could be the Beacon, or the hotel room of some friends nearby.

[Jwheelz]

ahh... see that sounds great and pretty easy... that kind of thing is great for me when it's 75°+ plus outside but as soon as you throw in weather topping out in the 40s at best, it turns a fun trip into town for a show into a survival nightmare

See how long I have been away from NYC, PT did not even ring a bell that it was Public Transportation, my main source of travel when I lived there.

Tickets for general public go on sale Saturday 10/20 I understand! I have never pre-ordered MSG Phish. I call my disabled seating peeps. I'll call that Monday 10/22 @ 9:30am and will go to 2 shows if they got my front row Page/Trey side action. After the renovations they eleminated that sections/boxes 95/97 action.

Disabled Services Tickets
Madison Square Garden provides disabled accommodations and sells tickets to disabled individuals through our Disabled Services department, which may be reached at 212-465-6034, any weekday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

No front row no go! I'll see the Punch Brothers for a pair at the Bowery Ballroom instead!

no public transportation access to MSG? Yea maybe not aside from the LIRR, Amtrak, Path, 1,2,3, A,C or E trains. Oh wait, there are buses to.

[Jwheelz]

I know we had this conversation last year, and I've decided to revise my opinion and conclude that it is in fact crap that they limit the number of shows people with disabilities can go to...I'm aware this would shut out other disabled patrons, but then the "you snooze you lose" rule applies within the subcategory... my money is just as good as anyone else's, and any able-bodied person can buy tickets to all 4 shows if they have the cash and the tickets are available, as good as MSG tries to be to accommodate people the fact is they should treat people with disabilities like anyone else and allow patrons with disabilities to purchase 4 shows on a first-come first-served basis if they have the money as well. Anything else, different treatment, or limiting tickets for people with disabilities in ways they don't do for able-bodied patrons, truly is discrimination, although certainly ticket "discrimination" for some Phish concerts is a first world problem and I'm not going so I really don't care So if you're cool with it go for it, though I think supporting lower-level independent artists is a great idea as well

[wheels]

For the 2010 run we had it made in that 95/97 sections action! Bummed that MSG got rid of that for us w/c doods!

[Jwheelz]

No MSG covers the warm weather, I've never seen them play there except in the winter, I would go to a summer or springtime MSG show without even thinking about it. My comments about the no public transportation access have to do with the summer shows. SPAC can be accessed via Amtrak and local transportation but not really, they're very far apart and service doesn't run all night. Jones Beach can be reached via public transportation, but not very easily if you're in a wheelchair. Bethel is nowhere near any kind of public transportation, you're not going to go unless you have a car or a ride, not always a good option for a person in a wheelchair who wants to be independent. Worcester Mass. while I believe it is connected to Amtrak did not seem to have a very good way of getting from that to the venue etc. My point is that they haven't booked a Northeast regional concert that I can actually get to without a car in many years. I'm not exactly complaining just saying that they won't be getting my dollars unless there happens to be a show I can actually go to and not be a giant ordeal.

NOTE: I realize Phish probably won't miss my $120 or whatever. I'm just talking about some of my pet peeves here, plus I'm having a crappy day so it's all relative

[Jwheelz]

That was sweet, being in the bowl of the arena really made you appreciate the show and enjoy it. I was at the back of section 202 or something last year and it sucked because I wasn't even really in the venue, it was like watching a concert from outside the doorway of the venue

The Bethel Woods 2011 run was the bomb for me! My smaller powerchair fit perfect in my best buds vehicle and these cats rented a great log home for us @ 4 miles from the venue. I passed on Phish this summer because I knew nothing was going to top those Bethel Woods gigs we did! That venue is...well see for yourselves!

Oh that sounds awesome, I'll have to do that if they do that again, not as if I don't have a car or anything... my complaints are really from a few years ago when I was carless and could only do public transportation... I'm actually looking forward to summer 2013 tremendously because I should have a lot of things in place to have a(nother) great year

Let me tell you my 2011 MSG story Jwheelz! We were in section 201 I believe for the 12/29 & 12/30 gigs on that stinky construction platform and at the 12/30 gig these newbie kids were yapping and talking loudly the entire show! My best buddy turns to me and says "Mike...you'll never guess what they are talking all night about? They are yapping about how great last nights show was!" LOL! I turned to him and said "They better not be yapping on NYE about tonights show because they missed it by yapping all night long!"

[wheels]

And that's why I'll only do a show or two this run if I score my front row! If I don't score my front row Page/Trey side then I'll head to the Bowery Ballroom to see a pair of the Punch Brothers gigs instead!

Yup they were going to do this. But the cancelation will be announced tomorrow. So I don't lose any heady points. And I actually said I didn't think the biscuits would play NYC with phish in town and having the same management did not see it happening.

[PieDoh]

I have never been to a phish concert.

I will be home over new years as usual

no real plans yet


I'm allergic to dogs and cats...

There is no front row it is GA floor

As of now my schedule is this. 12/28 Biscuits 12/29 Phish>Biscuits 12/30 Phish 12/31 Biscuits hopefully I can afford to swing it.

Yeah I def will not be able to swing that.

[jpotts05]

It's NYE or bust for me on this one. In other words, I won't be going.

[Joe]

I think this year might be the first year in a long time Phish MSG run won't happen. Unfortunately funds are all tied up with my trip to Europe in 2 weeks and what not. So it looks like Stringdusters down in Charlottesville, VA might be the thumbs up option..

[capt_morgan]

imma try to talk nikki, tasb, and jnjn to hit up NYE with me...otherwise i could care less about this run...sick of MSG

[wheels]

just noticed that the floor is general admission

Because of this when I call my disabled seating peeps and they have GA floors for the wheelman, I'll do 2 of the shows!

Do they have a specific handicap spot on the floor?

[gregoir]

I douubt they will have handicapped designated seating down there since it is GA
