Madison Square Garden Entertainment has indefinitely banned an attendee of Phish’s April 20, 2024, concert. The locational veto resulted after the individual posted a video to Instagram showing himself taking a bong rip inside the new state-of-the-art Las Vegas venue. The man tagged Sphere and the band on social media, leading to the official letter and blockade of more than just the Sin City location. 

The official letter, which was posted to social media, stated, “On April 20, 2024, you posted an Instagram video of yourself smoking inside the Sphere with the caption ‘first bong hit to ever be ripped in the @spherevegas @phish.’ You knowingly violated the guest code of conduct by visibly smoking inside the venue. Sphere Entertainment Co. will not tolerate actions that threaten the safety and security of our guests and employees.”

After identifying the cause, the letter went on to list the venues where the individual is no longer welcome: “In light of your conduct, you are hereby indefinitely banned from Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, The Beacon Theatre, The Chicago Theatre, Sphere and any other MSG Venue (the ‘MSG Venues’). You are not to enter into or remain in any of the MSG venues at any time in the future. If you enter any of the MSG Venues, including, with respect to Madson Square Garden, the box office, Chase Square and the concierge areas, law enforcement will be contacted to ensure your expulsion and you will be subject to the penalties.”
