$150 for one show? Absolutely not, though they are better than 2009.

Assuming that you've listened to the recordings and liked what you heard, the answer is 'maybe.'
Do you know what kind of seats you would have? If you'd be on the floor, then it just might be worth the $. If you'd be watching a distant jumbotron from the lawn, then maybe not.

I saw them in 2004 for $60-$70 cant really remember but it was a decent show......... played lots of their fans favorites and played for about 4 hours so I say it's a goodtime and you'd probably spend that much just drinking in 1-2 nights or going out to eat.

I can get a ticket for around $30 but the shipping and service fees together are over $20 (cause it has to ship out fast- sunday show) and the gas would be at least another $60 with the mileage

Phish shows are worth the money.
The good times at concerts are priceless.
Going to concerts and music festivals are the funnest things I do. Its the only time I trip or roll anymore.

Yeah but $150 to attend a show? Unless it's some super special occasion then I'd say it's not worth it. Now $150 for a festival, that sounds about right.

If it's only $50 for the ticket and $100 to get there that sounds like most concerts I've ever been to. I say go for it, beats sitting around the house. Concerts cost money, driving cost money............. ain't going to have much fun until you come to terms with that.

do phish shows live to the hype? 
Last summer, hatta (my domestic man friend) wanted to go see Phish, so we packed up our camping gear, drove all the way to Wisconsin, and dropped $50 per ticket to see them. Personally I was never a huge fan of Phish's music. We had tickets for two nights in a row...the first night, we were in the general admission section, which was waaaay far back and I could barely see a thing. Felt like I was observing the concert from afar. But the next night, we had third row center seats and some lsd. Holy crap, that was awesome. I see where the hype comes from.
So as someone else so brilliantly mentioned, if you can get good seats, do it, otherwise fuck it.

I brilliantly mentioned that and Alpine Valley was precisely the venue I had in mind when I did so! I'm sure it was awesome to be in row 3.
