Why in God's name are the tickets $260 and up???!!! Is there something I'm missing here? Do we get to have sex with him or something as part of the deal?

ticketsnow.com has tickets to some of the shows...between 200-300 bucks, and they aren't even front row.

I hate this type of thing and it gets worse every year.

Wow, I am definitely out of the loop here. I'm looking on ticketmaster daily for sales, perhaps I should've been looking elsewhere.

What's with the outrageous prices? Do you guys think better tix will be available on ticketmaster for a lower price?

Ummm, those HAVE to be scalper prices.

That's insane.

Chrislit18 · #**172** 07-01-2008, 09:40 AM

^^^ I agree those prices are outragous!
For Lindsey Buckingham...seriously!?
500 bucks!?

Anyways, I'm sure #1LiddyBuckFan [Your name is Lindsey right? sorry I have a hard time remembering...] is right that they are scalper prices. Have any venues even put tickets up for sale yet?
I know Northampton isn't for sale or on the website yet....or Boston...

Those are definitely scalper prices. They know they will acquire those tickets to sell eventually (yes, it's a giant racket, it always is when sticketbastard's involved).

I believe the only venue currently selling tix is Harrah's in Lake Tahoe.

LB's not even on pollstar yet, and they're usually pretty quick about posting tour dates.

I beleive that one or two venue's go on sale this friday...and Boston isn't until September 5, according to Ticketmaster....

Thanks for the info Livia!

I just hope they go onsale during the summer for me, since I'm home all day and I can just go buy my tickets ASAP...

If there is going to be a new album, I wonder when we will hear about it. Isn't it strange to get concert days first, before there is official word of an album?

I'm one of those who thinks he wouldn't tour again without an album. Yet, I can't explain the silence.

I agree. it is weird. Though last time we got hardly any notice of the tour so I'm glad people have more time to plan...especially those who are traveling. I would think there would be info on a new album along with the tour though. I hope it's soon.

Maybe the tracklist, title, etc have not been decided yet. ?

Maybe. And I guess it's best not to say when they'll be an album if that date only gets pushed back, because we all know how many times our hopes for the first GOS release were dashed.

I don't mean to be redundant but have people found out by which record company this new solo cd will be released?

I said it before, and I'll say it again. If Lindsey doesn't get the album (or even a single) out before these shows take place, not only will these shows be sparsely attended, but some will be canceled due to poor sales.

Of course, that's a BIG if, as I highly doubt the promoters involved in this tour would have submitted offers if they knew it would be his third time in the market in less than two years WITHOUT the benefit of a new "angle" (new album/single) to promote. Promoters already lost a bundle on the needless (again, speaking from a business perspective, not as a fan) concerts in repeat markets last time around, and they wouldn't be as stupid this time around without some assurances.
