In other news, a study by one of the nation’s leading secondary ticket market outlets has revealed that Christine McVie is gold as far as Fleetwood Mac tour sales go. According to Ticket Liquidator, the average price paid for a Fleetwood Mac concert in 2013 was $161, with some fans nabbing seats for as low as $6.
McVie recently announced that she will be joining Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Stevie Nicks on Fleetwood’s fall 2014 North American tour. The move effectively reunites the most popular incarnation of the multi-platinum act for the first time since 1998. And judging by the spike Liquidator detected immediately following said announcement, fans of Fleetwood’s fab five aren’t taking their chances waiting for the proverbial musical moons to align again.
The present median price for tickets listed on Ticket Liquidator’s exchange is $185, the lowest, $51.
“Having those five members back makes all the difference,” Ticket Liquidator Entertainment Specialist J.P. Starkey notes. “They put on a fine show in 2013, but it’s just not the same without Christine. Now that she’s back, the On With The Show Tour could be one of their most memorable yet.”
To get in on the memories, get your tickets from ticketmaster.com—or ticketliquidator.com, for that matter—for one of the three area shows on the books. Fleetwood Mac’s On With The Show tour has scheduled stops at Boston’s T.D. Garden Oct. 10 and 25 and Hartford’s XL Center Nov. 1.
