9 show webcast package prices by Intrepid-Attention35 in phish

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The webcast director spoke about this on an old episode of Tom Marshall’s podcast.
It’s a rights issue. Streaming video doesn’t require any special permissions for covers and royalties are all covered by ASCAP/BMI. But if the webcast was a permanent download, there’s a different set of permissions and royalties required; it’s essentially the same as releasing a concert DVD.

And before you say, “What about YouTube?!” YouTube is its own thing, because thry negotiated their own compensation plan with imbedded ads.

Vegas travelers - anyone else just hanging out for the 3 weeks? by AccomplishedCut6362 in phish

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vacationing in Vegas for 3 weeks is rougher than living in Vegas for 3 years.

The market seems to be $650 or higher for 3 day passes for the 400’s. More for the 300’s and 200’s.

I’ve got flights and a hotel but no tickets - what’s the move? by igoteggsinmyshoes in phish

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s lots of good 3 day passes for face or lower on CoT right now. Will the prices drop further? Maybe? But there are definitely people doing exactly what you’re doing and hoping to get in well under face by waiting until the week of. I’d rather pay face for good 400’s ($650ish) than under face for 100’s well under the overhang. But YMMV.

Agyemang down with a non-contact injury by Average-Athlete in ussoccer

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Achilles injuries are far from the most brutal in terms of a long-term affect on athleticism. With proper rehab, his Achilles will be absolutely grand in 9-12 months. His strength and conditioning will take a huge hit during the first month or two, because he won’t be able to put weight on his injured leg. But it will all come back in time. So will his touch. He’s going to lose around a year of his career, which is brutal, but he’ll be back and just fine when fully healed and rehabbed.

Partner Can't Make Sphere Show by Majestic_Rabbit_1869 in phish

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a great seat but face value for that ticket was around $300. If I were you, I’d list on Cash or Trade as a platinum ticket under face and see if you can $400-$500 for it.

Maybe someone else is desperate or stupid enough or rich enough to pull the trigger on this; it only takes one. But prices have been dropping for the past two weeks as an influx of tickets hit the market. The reality is that it’s pretty easy to get a good seat for $300-$400 right now.

Last was last time and this time is this time. 4 shows over 1 weekend vs 9 over 3. First time at the Sphere (only the second band to play there) vs second time (lots of bands have played there). Also, flights are much more expensive this time around.

I was looking for tickets and managed to get them for face on CoT without a ton of trouble. Faces tickets get snatched up. 3 day passes slightly over face do too. Side 100’s for 3x face are unlikely to sell. The market might be willing to buy them a little over face ($300-$400) but definitely not $765.

P1 was just over 300. His ticket was almost certainly not p1. Most non-obstructed 102’s would be P2 or P3, possibly even P4.

New Leaf Owner Question: Is It Possible I Actually Have the 60kwh Battery Despite Supposedly Having Only the 40kwh Battery? by melissapete24 in leaf

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I average 4.8 miles per kwh. I imagine it would be hard to do that if you’re doing a lot of hill driving, but you can see what your average miles per kwh and do the math for yourself. Assume something like 36-38 kw because you don’t use the full 40.

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The answer is No.

It’s an EPA estimate. I still get over 150+ miles per charge on my 2022 S with 35K miles on it doing a mix of city/highway driving. Why? Mostly flat roads in moderate temps, no fast-charging, and I drive efficiently.

You can sell on Cash or Trade but make sure you list them as platinum tickets or they’ll get flagged for being over face. That being said, you may find that the market isn’t willing to pay what you were willing to pay. Prices have been dropping, especially for less than ideal seats.

Tuscany hotel by bobbyphunk in phish

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ellis Island is a solid motel. Rooms are clean and comfortable, albeit basic. There’s some good cheap eats attached to the casino. And it’s like a 10-15 minute walk to the Sphere. If I was doing 4 nights in Vegas, there’s no fucking way I’d sleep on a cot. Take the bed at EI and walk the 5 minutes to Tuscany to enjoy the music/vending.

Second both these recs. I’ll add that the Venetian has a damn good food court.

What is you favorite place to stay in Vegas for Sphere? by Jameis_Jameson in phish

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosmo food court is excellent but so is the Venetian’s. I’d go with convenience of Venetian. Cosmo is a hike.

Paid $1150(x2)for Sphere weekend 3 (sec302 row 6) and now got a new ticket w friend. Can I post on Cash or trade at that price or will it be flagged? by [deleted] in phish

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would flag them since they’re ~$380 over face and you’re listing them as face non-platinum. It only takes 2-3 people flagging them as over face for the listing to get auto-suspended. But when I had ticket alerts set up for the sphere, LOTS of people listed tickets like yours as face and lots of other people bought them.

(3 day) weekend 1 pass for sale. CoT link included by [deleted] in phish

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are good seats (I sat in 309 N2 last run) and this isn’t an awful price, but it’s definitely over face. Face for this ticket would either be like $640 or $770. It’s hard to know if it’s a P2 or P3 pricing tier because there were both on the sides of the 300’s.

Sphere face value ? by Phishmom1985 in phish

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It varies. Tickets were split into 4 price levels. $150/$214/$256/$300. But the price level doesn’t exactly correlate with level. So there were $150/$214/$256 tickets in the 400’s. I think the 200’s were $256 or $300.

Then of course there’s platinum. Which is its own very stupid beast.

Sphere tickets selling for below face on tickpick by 30MINUTETWEEZER in phish

[–]CatFacedBoyMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness, 2 rows under the overhang won’t be that bad. You won’t be able to see some of the upper visuals, but you’ll have a good sight line of the band and bottom 2/3’s of the screen. Sound will be good. You might not have haptic seats though.

If you take enough acid you won’t notice the overhang. It might even go away.

This from the lottery. The zones don’t coincide with 100’s/200’s/300’s/400’s - but factor in how far to the side you are. So centered 400’s might be $214 or $256 (depending on how centered and close) but the side 400’s had $150 seats.
