Phish Institutes Early Entry Lottery System For Madison Square Garden Run

76

With the rescheduled Phish New Year’s Eve run at Madison Square Garden set to begin on Wednesday, the band has announced new policies for early entry. Fans will now enter a randomized lottery to receive early access to the venue and secure space on the floor.

Announced on Monday, the new policies were framed as a way to keep fans from standing in line for hours to get a spot close to the stage. Now, those with general admission floor tickets can fill out a form for a chance to receive early entry to Madison Square Garden. The form will include the name of the ticket holder and a friend if requested. No name changes will be allowed following submission. The registration process opens at 9 a.m. two days prior to each show and closes at 9 a.m. the day prior to each show.

“At approximately 3 p.m. on the day prior to each show we will select a limited number of fans to receive early entry. All entrants will receive an email notification of whether or not they were selected to be eligible for early entry,” the announcement read. “Those who are selected will receive an email with details on when and where to meet to enter the venue.”

Phish Early Entry Policy Update

Over the years, the GA floor entry procedures have evolved in an effort to allow more fans the opportunity of standing close to the stage and to discourage fans from waiting in line for hours to be first in line for entry.

For the Madison Square Garden run, we are changing the early entry process.  Fans interested in entering the GA floor area early can submit their information via a form for the chance to be selected via a random drawing.

Here’s how it works:

If you are a GA Floor ticket holder and would like to be eligible for early entry you must fill out a form.

Fill out the form for yourself and if you would like to include a friend you must enter their name when you submit the form. There are no name changes once you have submitted the form and no transfers if you are selected.
Each form will begin accepting entries 9AM two days prior to each show.
The deadline to enter for each show is 9AM the day prior to each show.
At approximately 3PM on the day prior to each show we will select a limited number of fans to receive early entry.  All entrants will receive an email notification of whether or not they were selected to be eligible for early entry.
Those who are selected will receive an email with details on when and where to meet to enter the venue.
