    I think tickets may keep dropping for some of these shows. A friend of mine just scored MSG around 7pm. And he was shut out of all 10c, verified fan, and had no luck this morning. 
    Oh no, I was just about to give up

    I've been checking sporadically since I scored a single at 4:10 (central time) today...haven't seen anymore pop up, but there were a good handful of singles and pairs on that drop.

    In the past, TM would sometimes re-release tickets from orders that didn't go through due to credit card issues or whatever, but not usually until after the weekend of the initial sale.

    That's from previous Phish experiences.  I usually wait until Monday or Tuesday to check.

    Man, this is fucked.

    I was able to get in at 10 am after sitting in front of my computer and basically ordering my team to stop what they were doing and do the same for like an hour, amazingly got in but was unable to buy anything, and then 7 hours later tickets mysteriously appear?

    WTF?

    Anyone score any Nashville tickets this afternoon? I got back into the screen where you pick seats but seems to only be 2 wheelchair seats in the last row upper deck behind the stage that keep disappearing and them reappearing a few minutes later

    You cannot have this INSANELY regulated tiered distribution 10C -> VF Lotto -> General sale -> Fan to Fan/Sorry, you are fucked/non-transferable ticket model thing they are using, and then not offer all the available tickets when they are marketed as being on sale.

    I followed every goddamn rule and jumped over every hurdle they set up for this show and when I finally get lucky and actually get into the site to buy tickets at the time they announced repeatedly there are none available, but the some someone that trips over the fact that seats popped up at 5PM gets them and I don't?

    Fucked.

    This reminds me of the days of WASTE and Radiohead dropping tickets at 6 am..... Toughest ticket to score tour..... Stadiums and Red State tour in the fall.

    I always assumed the tickets that get dropped later in the day were likely from people who ordered more than the 4 ticket limit and as their extra orders are discovered through the day they cancel them and the tickets are put back on sale. I have always been able to find good tickets day of the show as well when they release tickets they hold back for production, friends, family, sponsors, etc. I once got 1st row floor tickets for the Saturday LA 1 show in 2013 about 3 hours before it started. Just gotta keep checking and hope to get lucky

    Yeah this happened to me with The Who. Show was sold out and I checked kinda on a whim one day and ended up with great seats. I’ve always heard Phish was like that too.
     
    I know the closer to the show TM tends to release more too

    Random drops are the new way to discourage bots and scalpers but hell they are the only ones who have the time to keep checking.

    They snatch them up quicker than we are capable of. I watched it happen plenty of times with other shows. Pop up fir a second on TM, on stubhub a min later

    Completely agree!  The seats / sections that came up on the drop, are being advertised on craigslist now.

    Don’t the bots ever get tired.

    perhaps the only way to get rid of them is to do away with internet ticket sales 

    but I’m thinking by now the bots probably know how to talk on the phone

    i have been trying all day and still haven’t been able to even search for a ticket or get a page with a map for MSG or Baltimore. Never seen this before with Phish/PJ or anyone else. Dead 50th anniversary Chicago concert was easier than this
