fuck. scalpers.
    #12430948 - 04/21/10 09:38 AM (13 years, 11 months ago)

I just finished buying the last 2 out of 6 phish tickets I needed, the two nights in Georgia :facepalm:

They're nice seats, but they were both $140 each on stub hub. I know I could have waited until then and scalped for much cheaper at the venue, but it's worth the huge relief of having the tickets ahead of time before booking a hotel and taking the drive. Anything above that and I wouldn't have done it, in fact it was the forced shipping and "fees" that added another 20 bucks to each ticket.

The same problem happened with Furthur, although I was very lucky to get into the Asheville show for face value by using craigslist. Maybe I'll be as lucky when Modest Mouse plays at the Orange Peel this summer.

On a side note, why is the Georgia venue so expensive? Is it a very popular place for them to play? There were other venues that sold out but only a few cost 100+ for even lawn.

I'm driving up with 7 people from Melbourne FL, its pretty popular place so I've heard.
first phish concert for me, going with a bunch of veterans though.  Going w/o tickets, with a ounce of shrooms and some other goodies. gonna try to trade shrooms for tix.

I paid like $52 for a ticket last lottery for the second night of philly. This time around I will just purchase all of my tix in the lot because there are always scalpers about and my friend drove up to MSG for night one and received a free ticket. The only shows I have doubts about is the last two nights of the tour, but I'm still sure I can get tickets for those.

I didn't realize Modest Mouse was going to be at the Orange Peel this summer.  I checked their calendar a few weeks back and didn't see it.  I'm going to Asheville tomorrow so maybe I'll drop in the Peel and see if I can get a ticket ahead of time.  Thanks for the heads up.

In all honesty if you've seen them before I wouldn't bother.

It's not bad, but it's pretty... average. And I'd say I'm a pretty big fan of MM's music.

Edit: Then again live music is live music.

I haven't been fortunate enough to catch them live.  I would also like to at least check out Johnny Marr doing his thing in person, although it would have been much nicer in the 80s during his Smiths days.

He doesn't tour with them anymore. He's with the Cribs now I think.

an ounce of shrooms? You did see supernova's bust thread?

If you get pulled over  near the georgia border, you WILL be searched, it's guaranteed. And They pull over a lot of people over there, so ive read. My mom and sister went to georgia and got pulled over and had their car searched. They dont even look remotely like drug people, either

i decided not to buy any tickets for the tour ahead of time and just buy tickets incrementally to the shows i actually make it to and the ones that are the best price. makes a lot more sense to me than buying overpriced tickets ahead of time to shows that i may not even make it to.

i did sign up for the work exchange team for: summer camp, all good and camp bisco.
after reading about the fuzz bringin the heat at wanee im definately going to play it cool this year. not even going to consider selling any of my stash at any point in time, simply to avoid the risk. also not gonna be traveling with drugs, just not worth it. you already know you can get whatever you need to party with at the show as long as you got patience. and for that matter you dont really need to buy drugs, every1 is friendly enuff to share.

but to that other guy: if you are just traveling with shrooms and you keep that shit well hidden, its pretty safe. safer than pot, which is easily detectable by smell for dogs/humans, keep it safely hiden until the show. smuggle the drugs in (easy as pie, don't be suspicious, HIDE IT WELL), its really not hard. just remember, do not sell drugs at any point in time, no matter who keeps begging you for it. (it could be an undercover). if you are extra paranoid about it (which i doubt you are), make the mushrooms into chocolate fudge snacks, add raspberry and almond for flavor. no chance they would be detected by the cops. easily done, no extraction necessary.:thumbup:

yeah GA cops do suck but its not like its way worse than other states

I ride with buds on me every day, speed everywhere, drift around turns and ive only been pulled over once in my life, you just have to not act like your doing something wrong

I swear if you roll up next to a cop listening to music and nodding your head and smiling he will just drive off

Hell ive even sorta raced a cop before :awesome:


And I got two tickets to phish on the 4th of july for $100, Theyre probably only expensive as shit cause its sold out

oh shit duh... July 4th that might also be why :facepalm:

and Miami Phish was all sold out but tickets still went for much much less online.. probably because of the venue size

They need your permission to search your car.

If they ask and you tell them no they can't legally search unless have a search warrent or probable cause.
