"Fans" is an unclear word. In Fleetwood Mac's eyes, we are
customers. The band may use the term "fan" in its press, but it doesn't mean anything more than "person who buys a ticket or a CD."
Of course, even customers get a gift from a business now & then: restaurants give free meals after ten paid meals, my auto repair shop gives me a "loaner" car to drive around while my car is being worked on, etc., all in the name of give a little short term so that you'll recoup long term (in customer loyalty & return patronage). Fleetwood Mac doesn't offer "rewards" (like the grocery store cards).
Maybe one day Fleetwood Mac will do something like
that. Hasn't happened yet. Maybe one day, horses will turn carnivore.
