Phish performs during ‘The Baker’s Dozen’ Closing Night at Madison Square Garden on August 6, 2017 in New York City.
The online request period ends Feb. 5 at 10 a.m. ET, with a public onsale beginning Feb. 8.
Dates kick off at Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena at Harveys in Stateline, Nev., July 17-18 and includes multiple-night runs at venues including the Forum in Inglewood, Verizon Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, Ga., Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland and Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo., where the tour ends Sept. 2.
The entire Baker’s Dozen run (July 21 to Aug. 6) moved 227,385 tickets and grossed $15.04 million as reported to Pollstar.
Phish tickets are always a hot commodity, as tickets.phish.com makes clear: “Our allotment of tickets for each show is limited, so we may not be able to fulfill every request that we receive. This allotment will contain tickets in all areas of the venue from GA floor to reserved seating behind the stage and across all price levels where applicable.”
However, there are ways of combating the secondary market, as Cashortrade.net co-founder Brando Rich told Pollstar in December, where the face-value ticketing resale platform moved 50,000 tickets for the Baker’s Run dates.
