Glidemagazine.com reports today that the Telluride, Colorado has given their blessing to AEG to hold two Phish concerts in the quaint, scenic mountain town August 9 & 10, 2010.
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.
Unanimous vote? Who says government can’t get things done!
The residents played hardball before the vote, demanding that a small number of tickets be put aside so that the locals aren’t left looking for a miracle.
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.
It will probably be a few weeks, at the earliest, until any further announcements about a Telluride show are made public.
In other news, Phish announced that their new concert movie Phish 3D will be released in April. Dates and Times to be announced.
