@InUnfunky In honor of your poll. I was at Sphere all 4 nights. Everyone there definitely was a nay. 😜

@tgraph52 Those look like aftermarket prices. I know there were scalpers selling them for that much while we were there but those are not the on sale day prices. @InUnfunky

@WendyForbes @InUnfunky

I saw those as the prices from Vivid Seats, a verified secondary market ticketing platform

I'm glad you get in for less.

I know I was pissed when I had to pay $8 to see the G Dead in the 70s

@tgraph52 Yeah. If you don’t buy them direct it always gets crazy. They were $183 a ticket the day they went on pre-sale to Phish’s email list and they were all gone in minutes. Still not cheap. Phish tickets are usually about half that depending on the venue. @InUnfunky

@WendyForbes @InUnfunky

"There are 17,500 seats inside the Sphere, every one of which will be filled with a Phish fan this week, along with about 2,500 standing on the floor. The seats use haptic technology, so every bass line and drum kick from the band can be felt from your chair β€” for those actually sitting and not standing up and dancing"

I'm old and cranky... That's not for me at any price.

@WendyForbes @InUnfunky

from 1959:
""Percepto!" was a gimmick where Castle attached electrical "buzzers" to the underside of some seats in theaters where The Tingler was screened to provide "tingling" sensations during certain scenes. The buzzers were small surplus airplane wing deicing motors left from World War II."
