Every Phish tour starts the same way. Enter the lottery and hope to win tickets in some random spot.

Don't win lottery and join the Ticketmaster queue. Watch the site fall apart for an hour. Crashes at checkout and you're back to the end of the queue.

Go on Stubhub and pay 2x or more for the "big" shows (Halloween, NYE, etc).

But hey, also crashed chess.com.

Such a travesty, everyone should be given an equal opportunity to see Phish. There's an idea that floated around that the band should either start their own venue or festival grounds. I am not sure how logistically viable that is, but it would totally solve the issue of ticket distribution if they could just do it organically.
