Phish Announces MSG Pay-Per-View

After nearly two years of unofficial streams from intrepid fans at Phish shows, couch tour has gone legit. Phish has partnered with Nugs Net to offer pay-per-view video broadcasts of the group’s three upcoming shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Dec. 30, 31 and January 1st.

You can purchase a three-day pass for $39.99 or purchase the PPV for each night at a cost of $14.99 for December 30th and January 1st and $19.99 for the New Year’s Eve show. Purchasing all three at the same time saves you 20%.

The question becomes whether this is a one-time deal or whether Phish will offer more pay-per-views in the future. Clearly this webcast is a big test and if things go smoothly – and of course if it’s highly profitable – the band may decide to make webcasts of sold out shows a regular occurrence.

Will you purchase Phish’s first pay-per-view?
