Fan Club Pre-sale Info

[WelshWitchPMD]

Got this from Mick's BB:


The following letter is the presale info that was sent to Fleetwood Mac Fan Club Members. Posting here for everyone to see the news.

FAN CLUB PRESALE #1:

The following list shows the cities that will go on sale to the public on March 15th and 17th. (MORE CITIES AND MORE PRESALES COMING SOON! WE'LL NOTIFY YOU AS SOON AS DETAILS ARE FINAL!)

If you want to purchase tickets in any of THE FOLLOWING cities, you will be given the chance to pre-order tickets BEFORE THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND IN RESERVED AREAS JUST FOR FAN CLUB MEMBERS on:

MARCH 13 - 14!
================================

===============================
GENERAL INFO ABOUT THE PRESALE: Here are some facts about the presales we will hold:

1. You'll get an email at least 24 hours before ALL presales from the fan club with instructions on how to order and links to the presale site.

2. You will see other presales out there. DON'T FRET! You're safe! The other presales you see are generally VENUE sales. The venue has the right to offer their season ticket holders and other VIP's advance sales. THESE DON'T AFFECT YOU AS THEY CANNOT ENTER YOUR CLUB RESERVED BLOCK OF TICKETS!

3. We will run presales for Ticketmaster venues unless otherwise noted. That's most of the shows. Venues that do not support Ticketmaster sales are handled on a case-by-case basis. Our concern is that alternate systems protect the integrity of the password system and that the non-Ticketmaster system can provide our members with access to our special blocks through their computer systems. If we can't guarantee a smooth operation that protects members, prohibits non-members from entering and guarantees our members get to select tickets from our reserved (darn fine seats) block - we won't run the presale. This is for your safety and peace of mind.

4. We have (at some great effort) secured for our members at least 600 seats in the best 20% of the house - on the floor - beginning in the VERY FIRST ROW and going back to about the 30th row in most venues. We have a lot of members but we have a lot of shows! I can't think of a better way to enhance your chances of getting a great seat at the show of your choice than through this membership. IN ADDITION TO THE BLOCK for members, you get a chance to select from ALL THE GENERAL PUBLIC SEATING BEFORE THE GENERAL PUBLIC ONSALE!!!! This means you're virtually assured of a seat at the concert of your choice by being a Fan Club member!

5. Here's how the presale will work in general: You can only purchase presales via the internet. No phone orders. You'll be buying directly from Ticketmaster. The club adds no charges (YAY!) and we earn no income from your ticket purchases. The whole concept is to enable superfans the chance to get up close and be assured of getting to a concert near you! We'll email you a link at least 24 hours before the presale. You'll also get the times of the presale start and close. It's first come-first served so you want to come in when "the doors open" to get the best choices.

HOWEVER - you can get disqualified and lose your chance to participate in the presale if you enter BEFORE THE OFFICIAL PRESALE BEGINS. So be sure to read the time, adjust for your time zone, and don't jump the gun. You may purchase up to 4 tickets per concert and only up to 20 tickets per member per tour. You'll get more info on all the details soon! Stay Tuned and keep visiting the INSIDER NEWS at the Club for frequent updates. ========================
If you have not pre-ordered the REAL 18 song "Say You Will" CD yet, please take a look at the offer at http://www.FleetwoodMac.com. If you order from an Official site, you also get a poster not available anywhere else! You also will get "pre-shipped" so that you can expect arrival on or very near the 4/15 release date! Why drive to buy the CD when the CD can come right to your door?

Yeah!! I did not see anything about the pre-sales so I figured I'd cut and paste from Mick's BB. Then after I posted it yours was there.LOL

[EnchantedStorms]

Well, at least everyone will be sure to see it, LOL!


And now, since they haven't listed the dates *I* wanted to see yet, and the ones that they *have* listed don't start until the 13th, lol, I am going to bed! At least now I know I'm not gonna miss anything.


I feel soooo much better now.

Thanks for the info Patti, I've been out of the loop for a long time so I'm trying to catch up on all of this information.

Could someone please answer a few more questions for me? Is the fanclub available through Fleetwoodmac.com or through Mick's site? I have trouble viewing them with my slow computer. Are there any other benefits to joining the fanclub besides the pre-sale tickets? It seems like $60 is a lot of money to spend for the chance of possibly getting decent $135 tickets, but I guess it's still cheaper than going through a broker.

Thanks, Ken
