Revert Back To The Old Phish Tickets By Mail System
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, hereby encourage Phish to revert their pre-sale ticketing system back to the "money order/mail order" system, which was abandoned in 2000.
Although the "online" system is far quicker and more accessible; since its inception, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of tickets being acquired by ticketing agencies (AKA "scalpers") as well as an obvious decrease in the number of tickets overall.
The current "online" system allows anyone and everyone to enter the lottery during a lengthy time frame. It also makes it necessary for those who want tickets to not only have access to the internet but, have a credit card as well. Since one need not have the necessary funds on hand, this system also creates a larger number of requests and therefore makes it more difficult to get tickets.
Under the old system, those who wished to enter the lottery had to not only have the necessary funds "up front," but also had to be responsible enough to have the money order sent out on time.
It is the belief of a large portion of the Phish Community that this system was far better for the fans as more of the tickets ended up in the hands of fans, as opposed to scalpers.
Since the Phish Tickets By Mail system was moved to an online lottery, frustrations have become the norm on the day in which results of the lottery are mailed out. Many music fans feel that in a very short time frame, the Phish ticketing system moved from being of the better systems to being, by far, the worst online ticketing system.
Although it would be more work on your end, we, your faithful fans, as you, Phish, to deeply consider changing back to the old system for your pre-ticketmaster ticketing.
