Phish Fan Who Went Viral Bragging About Bong Hits at Sphere Banned From All MSG Venues ‘Indefinitely’
A Phish fan who posted video taking massive bong hits and blowing smoke over a Phish crowd at Sphere has been banned from that and other MSG venues.
A social media user who wanted to show off his bong usage to the world has been banned from the venue, and any of Madison Square Garden Entertainment’s other properties, after posting bragging footage of himself taking hits and blowing smoke out over the audience during Phish’s opening night there in April. “First ever bong rip in the Sphere,” wrote the user, posting video of himself standing in the aisle of the venue prior to Phish taking the stage, as he drew a very deep hit and then exhaled a thick plume over the crowd seated behind him. Issues of the law and etiquette may be foremost in making sure concertgoers don’t feel they have an open license to light up, but it’s easy to imagine other factors uniquely at play inside Sphere, since a 160,000-square-foot interior screen involves whole new layers of dusting.
