Phish To Replace Instant Show Downloads With Instant Free Streaming

Over the last handful of years Phish has graciously offered anyone that has purchased a ticket to one of their shows a free download of what went down shortly after the night’s gig ended. The band has now announced a change in policy for their upcoming summer run, as they will shift from instant downloads to instant streaming.

Ticket holders will now be able to redeem their ticket codes for a free stream through the band’s LivePhish mobile app by simply scanning the barcode using their phone. A subscription won’t be required to access the free stream, which will be available most nights almost immediately after the show ends. The band will also still offer download and CD options for those interested a discounted price.

Here’s the full info on the policy change from LivePhish’s Customer Service page:

2017 Phish ticket codes are redeemable to unlock a free stream of the show in the My Stash on your LivePhish mobile app – available for free from iTunes and Google. A subscription is not required to stream your redeemed or purchased shows.

The app can now scan your ticket barcode right from your phone to unlock the show in your Stash. You can start listening as soon as the show is posted which is usually before you are even out of the venue.

If you want to UPGRADE your code to Lossless or HD Downloads or CDs for a discounted price you must redeem your code on the website. Redeeming it on the website will still unlock the show in your Stash on the LivePhish app.

Free MP3 downloads are still available for any pre-2017 ticket codes. You can also scan them to redeem directly from your app.
