Tickets...SELLING!

The development of a ticket.

The image you see is ALMOST what we ended up printing as a ticket to the July 11th event...since named Phog Phest.

We put the word out that tickets were on sale at Phog, and they WENT.
A quick description of what's going on that day.

There is a licensed area for less than 600 people.
For regulars of Phog, you may think this sounds big.
It isn't.
The show begins at 1pm, with two sets outdoors...then CBC Radio 3 sound checks for the 4 bands on the broadcast (being held from 5pm - 8pm), during which bands will play inside of Phog. At 5pm, the broadcast begins outside, for three hours, which will be followed by sets switching from indoors to outdoors from 8pm until 1am.

With over 20 bands scheduled...there are NOT A LOT OF TICKETS TO GO AROUND for such an epic event.
SO please, if you are a regular, and you want to be in the licensed area...come and get these tickets before they're gone. The advertising and promotion begins full force next week...and the tickets will be gone before you know it.

Come to Phog, ask for Phog Phest tickets...pass over $15 per ticket, and prepare for an incredible time!

Again, if you want to come for free, in the UN-licensed area...there will be room for you too.
See you there!

A detailed listing of bands and schedules will be released within the week...

CBC Radio 3 Best Live Music Venue In Canada -Tickets

Okay.
July 11th is much clearer now.
Of all the scenarios we've had in our heads for this thing, it's starting to look much more sharp.

The show IS FREE. You can stand on several hundred meters of street, sidewalk, etc. on University Ave. W. (between Victoria and Pellissier) and see/hear the show. You won't see it as well as you could while in the free area. The spot to be is in the LICENSED AREA, which is where the party atmosphere will be alive and well. Tickets in this area will only be $15. This is for over 20 bands, and 12 hours of music.

The licensed area will stretch from the east end of University Ave. (Victoria Avenue), encompassing the stage area, spreading over 120 feet west, toward The Capitol Theatre. This area will be the hands-on, 19+, place where you can mingle, see the bands up close and personal (on and off stage), and have delicious beer. This area will include the inside of Phog Lounge, where the usual stage will also be used to house music throughout the day.

Plans are to begin by 1pm and run through the evening until 1am. The CBC Radio 3 broadcast will air online and on Sirius Satellite Radio from 5pm until 8pm. This leaves us with five hours to listen to touring and local bands, including:
Holy Fuck (Toronto)
Arkells (Hamilton)
The Pack A.D. (Vancouver)
The Kramdens (Guelph) - Note:
This is CBC Radio 3 host Craig Norris' band!!
The Locusts Have No King (Windsor)
Yellow Wood (Windsor)
Michou (Windsor)
Orphan Choir (Windsor)
Field Assembly (Windsor)
Ron Leary & Kelly Hoppe (Windsor)
The Eric Welton Band (Windsor)
Peace Leeches (Chatham)
Pat Robitaille (Windsor)
What Seas, What Shores (Windsor)
Vultures! (Windsor)
(WH)Y.M.E.(??) (Windsor)
Fjord Rowboat (Toronto/Windsor)
Citywide Vacuum (Windsor)
James O-L and The Villains (Windsor)
Square Root of Margaret (Chatham)
Tara Watts (full band) (Windsor)
Another Saturday Knight (Windsor)
Megan Hamilton and The Volunteer Canola (Toronto)

So come and get your tickets at Phog Lounge now.
Hundreds and hundreds of people are going to be coming to this event, from Toronto, London, Sarnia, Detroit, and of course Windsor. If you live in Windsor, take advantage of your proximity, and get tickets while they're available.
Also, if you haven't "ordered" your CBC Radio 3's Best Live Music Venue black t-shirt yet, e-mail phoglounge@gmail.com with your size. When they are ready (one week) you will be contacted to come and pick them up and pay for them.

It's time to start getting excited!
