So yeah, he's naive and he's a hippie relic. That's why I love the guy.

There's an interview which is on Neil's site:
http://www.fleetwoodmac-uk.com/articles/FMart129.html where Lindsey is told the price of tickets, and asked about the contradiction between his attitudes about how greedy the music industry is and the fact that arguably charging so much for tickets is greedy.
He honesty says he hasn't chosen to be involved with the price of tickets (implying that he is aware that some artists like Tom Petty have), but then proceeds to justify it by saying that they are a "large-scale band." So... I think the naivety that he first puts out there as an excuse was obviously at the time of this interview gone - he knew the type of money he was going to be making and why. In the Destiny Rules doc you also hear him talking about how much money he's going to make touring. He's obviously not only OK with it, but banking on it.
