It's become psychotherapy. I don't care if aperson has seen the band over two-hundred times since nineteenninety-one," explained Julie Tavners, a former customer servicerepresentative.Research does show that call volume has quadrupled since tickets for thefour scheduled Phish concerts went on sale, but Ticketmaster refused tocomment on the matter."They're the most obsessed fans I've ever come in contact with, and I'vesold tickets to Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel," explained MikeTurrico, also on strike. "Customers were offering me some girl namedMolly for tickets, but I quickly assured them that I'm happily married."This strike marks only the second in Ticketmaster's long and dominanthistory in the concert tickets arena. The first occurred in New YorkCity in 1985 when the phone lines suddenly went down soon after BarbaraStreisand tickets became available to the general public."I was there back in eighty-five. This isn't as bad, but it's damn nearclose," explained Turrico.Phish will play Madison Square Garden on New Year's Eve, then head downto Hampton, Virginia for a three night stand on January second, third,and fourth.Douglas MaddenAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whadupg Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 Phish & Barbara Streisand - what a couple of troublemakers! BTW Kev never got tix, but I was talking to this guy (that I met last weekend in axis ha, ha) and he told me he could get me like 6 or 8 tix for face value if I wanted them. I think he may have been trying to impress me, but I'm going to see him Saturday so I'll find out and let you know - so far I've only promised 4 of them out.
