Telluride Says Yes: Will Phish?

After an extremely long meeting, the Telluride Town Council has approved AEG’s request to hold a pair of Phish concerts in Town Park on August 9th and 10th by a unanimous vote. Now that the town has given the promoters the green light, we move on to the final piece of the puzzle – the band working out a deal with the promoter to actually play the shows.

One of the biggest complaints from Colorado residents last year was the lack of tickets that went to locals. The Telluride Town Council dealt with this issue by working out a deal in which the promoters would put aside 1,500 tickets for each night for local residents. Are you planning to hit these shows?
