The city of Hampton, VA is located on the East coast of North America and according to Hampton.gov, it is one of the oldest cities in America. Hampton, VA is right on the Chesapeake Bay and has incredible views of the water. If you're into the night life, Hampton, VA has a lot to offer! In addition to the famed Hampton Coliseum, there are incredible restaurants, hotels, historical landmarks and museums, beautiful parks, and clubs aplenty. All of this beauty and excitement in one place is bound to attract attention, and Hampton, VA has become a hot spot for the jam band Phish. Phish appearing in Hampton, VA first occurred in 1999, and Hampton Comes Alive! was the recorded result of the concert. The Mockingbird Foundation-a Phish fan-run charity organization focused on music education for kids-recently awarded a $5,000 grant to the town of Hampton, VA. Further, Phish has decided to kick off its Phish Hamptons 2009 mini-tour in March right back in Hampton, VA!
The last time Phish tickets were on sale for events in Hampton, VA was in 1999, when Phish first opened up in the Hampton Coliseum. Now, 9 years later, Phish returns for Phish Hamptons 2009. The Hampton Coliseum has been operating since 1970 (14 years before Phish formed in Vermont), and has become a landmark of some renown. The design of the Hampton Coliseum is incredibly unique, with kite-shaped structures making up the circular shape. The Hampton Coliseum almost appears to be a flying saucer, which completely grooves with Phish's far-out feel (or should we say "phar out pheel"?). The Hampton Coliseum has hosted many musical acts including Natalie Cole, B.B. King, Phish, 3 Doors Down, and Bill Gaither. The last time Phish was at the Hampton Coliseum in 1999, Phish tickets were hard to get, as there typically aren't nearly as many Phish tickets as there are Phish phans! For that very reason, if you are a Phish phan and you want the best selection of cheap Phish tickets on the web, you have got to check out TicketNetwork! TicketNetwork is your source for a huge selection of cheap Hamptons Phish tickets for great Phish seats.

Phish - News Stories
From The New York Times: "Get your Hacky Sack and Frisbee out of the closet, fill the tank of your Volkswagen van and put your senior thesis aside: Phish is reuniting. The Vermont jam band, made up of Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon, Page McConnell and Jon Fishman, will play its first shows in more than four years in 2009 in Hampton, Va., according to the band's Web site, phish.com. The hirsute quartet's three-night stand at the Hampton Coliseum, scheduled for March 6-8, will be its first gigs since a farewell festival in Coventry, Vt., on Aug. 14 and 15, 2004." - Read More »
From Yahoo! News: "Now Phish are back. And you can be sure tapers are stocking up on cassettes, calendars are being cleared, and there will be a run on balloons and nitrous oxide. As far as we know, the group's return might be short-lived, but there will be moments, deep into "Simple" or "Cavern" or "Weekapaug Groove," when the music, and the world it created, will feel poised on the edge of forever. Enjoy them while they last." - Read More »
From Yahoo! News: "Phish, which got its start at the University of Vermont in 1983, is known for its amorphous blend of rock, jazz, bluegrass and other styles. Like the Grateful Dead, most songs from their vast catalog include sprawling improvisational passages -- with one song often morphing into another -- and no two shows are ever the same...The group has released 11 studio albums, and announced Wednesday the Nov. 18 release of "At The Roxy," an eight-CD box set chronicling a three-night 1993 stand in Atlanta…The guitarist was arrested during a 2006 traffic stop in upstate New York for possessing painkillers without a prescription; he ultimately pleaded guilty, and later spent two days in jail for missing a court-mandated counseling session. Whether his band will command the allegiance it once did remains to be seen. Word of the reunion lit up message boards a day in advance of the announcement, and hotel rooms in Hampton, Va., were said to be selling out quickly." - Read More »
About Phish
Since 1984, Phish has been bringing its unique jam band sound to audiences. Though Phish has been playing for 24 years, Phish fans thought that it was all over in 2004, when Phish announced a farewell concert-the last one they ever intended to do. In front of an audience of hard core fans, Phish said a tearful farewell at a concert in Coventry, Vermont in 2004, and fans thought that all they would have left were their tapes, CDs, and Mp3s to console them. Suddenly, in 2008, the members of Phish decided that the 4-year hiatus had been enough to restore them mind, body, and soul, and that they were ready to perform again! There are currently only three tour dates set for further Phish performances in 2009. Phish tickets for the three-day Phish extravaganza in Hampton, Va., are on sale now! There are never enough Phish tickets for the thousands of loyal Phish "phans", so Phish tickets are going to be hard to get. If you want to find

TicketNetwork is your ultimate source for great deals on discount Phish tickets, so don't delay, check out the TicketNetwork selection today!Phish was born on the University of Vermont campus in Burlington, VT. It all started in 1983 in a dorm building, where three of the band members, Trey, Fish, and Jeff all were being collectively musical. The three heard each other jamming and thought that with one other member, they could form a band. They posted a notice that they needed a bassist, and once Mike answered the call, they had their first ever jam session. According to the official Phish website, the band didn't play their first official gig under the heading "Phish" until October of 1984 in the basement of Slade hall at the University of Vermont, where they later played many other gigs, and so Phish was born in earnest. Later, several members of the band would transfer to Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont, where they begin playing to crowds of over 100 people. In 1988 Phish's first album, Junta is recorded and sold on cassette tape at Phish concerts. The following year, Phish finally takes their concerts to wider venues with Phish shows in New York, Maine, and Boston in addition to Phish concerts in Vermont. Soon, Phish tickets were incredibly hot commodities, as they sold out packed shows at their regular club performances.
By the early 90s, Phish was touring the entire country and Phish tickets were selling like crazy as Phish accumulated a nationwide following. During this same time, Phish "phans" were seeking a way to connect with fellow fans on the web, and Phish.Net began to take shape. Phish.Net was created by Phish fans, for Phish fans, and it remains an active web site nearly 20 years later. Phish also made appearances on NPR, and opened for Santana. The early 1990s also saw the start of a yearly Phish tradition, where on Halloween, Phish puts on a "musical costume" and plays exclusively the music of another single band on their Halloween show night. A New Years Eve show in Boston also becomes typical for Phish, a tradition that would see them through a good portion of the 1990s. In 1999, Phish would play New Years Eve at the Big Cypress Seminole Reservation in south Florida. According to Phish.com, the New Years Eve concert that year was "the largest paid concert event in the world that night", and it lasted from midnight until dawn. In the year 2000, Phish went on its first hiatus, beginning in November. During this time, some members of Phish pursued projects unrelated to the band including films, solo albums, writing orchestral compositions, and mini-tours with part of the band and guest musical artists. Nearly a year and a half later, Phish performed a few songs at an employee's wedding, but then went to pursue their individual interests until 2002, when they planned to break their hiatus by doing New Years tour.
Phish arrived to do a three-night stand of performances at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA to ring in the New Year and bring an end to the nearly two year hiatus. Phish's current Phish Hamptons 2009 event mirrors the one in 2002: a three-day concert event in Hampton, VA ending the band's hiatus. Coincidence? Unlikely. After their incredible comeback, Phish went on tour again in February 2003 and Phish tickets were nearly impossible to get. Phish concerts were completely sold out for the entire month, and the band was even featured for the first time on the cover of Rolling Stone. 2003 was a whirlwind year for Phish, with a summer festival drawing over 60,000 Phish fans to Maine, according to Wikipedia. In April of 2004, Phish fans got devastating news: after a brief tour, Phish would be breaking up. Phish played what was supposed to be its last show during the summer of 2004 in Coventry, Vermont, not far from where the band originally formed 20 years earlier. The final show was emotionally charged for both the Phish fans and the band members alike. 100,000 tickets were purchased for the event, though only approximately 65,000 fans were able to attend because of torrential rain and deep mud.
Since 2004, the members of Phish have pursued solo projects, playing with other bands and touring. As early as 2006, rumors of a Phish reunion were circulating, and in May 2008 these rumors were stronger than ever. Rolling Stone published an article in May and June with two members of the now defunct Phish, who both hinted at the desire to get together again, and that they might be a plan for a reunion in the works. In October 2008, the official word arrived when Phish announced three reunion shows! March 6, 7, and 8 of 2009 Phish will be playing at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA! There are rumors about further tour dates for Phish, but those plans remain uncertain. Phish tickets for this event are going to be incredibly hard to come by. There are millions of Phish fans, and a limited number of tickets, so these Phish tickets will be going fast! If you find that you're too late to get tickets directly from the band's website, and you still want in on the action, you need to check out TicketNetwork! TicketNetwork is your most trusted source for the ultimate selection of cheap Phish tickets for great Phish seats on the web!
