Sphere Rescinds Ban on Boastful Bong Dude From Phish Show, Saying Lawyer’s Letter Was a Mistake


Reps for Sphere say a Vegas patron who proudly posted video spewing bong smoke at a Phish show is un-banned, and a letter banishing him was a mistake.

Reps for Sphere in Las Vegas said Saturday that the ban on a man who posted video of himself braggingly taking bong hits at a Phish show is no longer in effect, and that the edict barring him from MSG Entertainment properties was an error. The statement from a Sphere Entertainment spokesperson, issued Saturday afternoon, reads: “There was a breakdown in our process due to a change in personnel which resulted in the letter being sent inadvertently. Sphere security’s policy in dealing with open smokers so far has mostly been to politely approach and ask them to extinguish anything burning, reminding the offenders that laws legalizing marijuana in Nevada do not extend to indoor concert venues.
