The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
Here's hoping that Worcester is webcast, 'cause you know that will be a throw-down.
Because they are? Are not? Might?
Hard to complain about 2 in Tahoe > 3 in San Francisco > Hollywood Bowl on the summer tour, though that probably doesn't matter to phans in Portland and Seattle and thereabouts. Really looking forward to the Hollywood Bowl show, the lights should be amazing and I hope they don't play it safe with the setlist again.
Since LivePhish seems to have gotten the hang of the webcasts, I suspect Hampton, Worcester and Atlantic City, at a minimum, will be webcast. Since all the shows on fall tour are indoors, I don't expect any repeat of the weather-related Chicago shenanigans.
Now if they'd only bust out a well-rehearsed The Curtain (With).......
Perhaps we bring in a sub for Trey to hit the plant High Notes?
But seriously.....they are WAAAAAYYYYY overdue for a Vegas run.
The other issue to be concerned about is the fact that tickets for arena shows have gone up $5 since just last year. That increase far exceeds the rate of inflation, for according to the handy CPI calculator, $60 in 2012 is equal to $61.02 today. Can we expect a price hike every couple of years, just as a matter of policy, from now on? Again, there is no discernable increase in quality, or certainly not an empirical, objective one that makes the shows of each year better than that of the year before.
I suspect that this may be a result of Phish relinquishing their operations management and allowing Redline to handle their affairs. However, I think the band should in some way be made aware of this ticket price issue. As a band and a business, Phish endeavored for over 20 years to provide a unique product that was constantly evolving and rewarding their audience. They went to fairly extraordinary and unprecedented lengths to satisfy their audience, to great effect. Now that they are older and no longer able to devote their every waking hour to Phish, it is troubling to see that they have been mildly gouging their devoted fans for a few years. Indeed, this issue dovetails fairly well with the current dialogue regarding the limited selection of songs they are playing. Are they really delivering appropriately to how they are charging us?
I think Phish still cares a great deal about their fans, and I for one think it would be great to see them address this issue. It would demonstrate real care and involvement with their community of fans, something they have always strived for.

*THEY'VE NEVER MADE REAL $ ON SELLING ALBUMS....HOW WOULD YOU SUGGEST THEY MAKE GOOD MONEY?
*WOULD YOU TAKE LESS MONEY THAN YOU'RE WORTH BC YOU DON'T WANT TO HURT SOMEONE'S FEELINGS OR FOR THE "GREATER GOOD"? COMMON DUDE -
BUY THE TICKET, STOP WHINING AND BE SMARTER ABOUT OTHER THINGS YOU SPEND YOUR $ ON.
- ITS LIKE COMPLAINING ABOUT GAS PRICES, HOTEL PRICES ETC....YOU CAN'T CONTROL THAT EITHER - BUDGET FOR IT AND MOVE ON
Having moved back home to New Orleans from San Francisco bums me out I'm missing Billy the Kid Graham this year, as last year was amazing (and Outside Lands the year before was a great time with the girlfriend).
I dunno... Phish and Halloween in New Orleans just seems so right.
Or am I so wrong?
Look at all the haters on here "too much for tix", "too far away". You do realize an alternative is Phish doesn't play and there are no tix prices to even complain about. If you live on the West Coast get on some 1/2 full shit. Be happy that if you pay for plane tix, you could rent a car or link up with a friend, and see a ton of shows in a small area.
That being said, I do feel for my West Coast brethren. But summa tour does nice you up
Tix prices on the other hand...don't be a bitch, they could charge double and we would pay it, or at least I would.
You snooze, you win.
Hey, how about this nugget?

@imdano I'm with you. I experienced big-time sticker shock when I saw the $5 increase to $65 GA for this Fall Tour. Though outpacing inflation is to be expected if the 'demand' is present (ha ha ha), $60 GA is already pushing it --despite the quality of the overall experience, lights, etc-- and limits the number of shows I'm able to see in a given year. Just today I found myself thinking that if the tix stay at $65, Icculus forbid, I may be throwing down for webcast couch tour instead, even if they're playing right in town...
It seems to me that Phish is a business and the cost of doing business has raised significantly since 1997.
That's just my 4 cents.
with brand being at all time high and them getting older....not really surprised nor do I have a problem with ticket prices being what they are....is what it is...
charge more....this way I don't have to compete with half of the haters day of onsale
it will happen i am hopefull
have a great day all you phishies in the sea
