The real question here is WHO is stupid enough to pay $600 to meet that loser?

For $300 you can get a front row seat to Lindsey Buckingham, autographed poster, CD collection, leather booklet, and a meet and greet.


Now tell me, which has the greater value

I wouldn’t pay more than $100 to meet any musician at a show, and that would have to include a ticket and some swag.

how much was your Canton ticket? i think mine was $85 plus fees, so about $100, ticket and a CD.

i don't like swag, just clutters my house, but i guess i'll take it for the shows where i'm doing LB m&g - which i have absolutely no problem with paying for; he has been extremely gracious to me in the past, randomly stopped and talked many times. i also had m&gs with him in the past and again, Mick's cannot compare. LB is engaging and warm to fans; there's a reason why so many people on social media stand so firmly behind him now, and not just for the music.

I think mine was $72. I usually go for cheap seats.

I’m sure he is. Mick was gracious when I met him, but it was after a club show with The Zoo in 1992. Bekka was the real sweetheart. I’ve also met Peter Green, and that was…interesting, to say the least.

Now tell me, which has the greater value
of course, unlike Mick's that apparently nobody's buying (surprise surprise!) considering we all got multiple emails from dear Mick, Lindsey's m&gs are now sold out for every show he has, i believe. and most were sold out within first few hours of presale.

so people clearly voted on where the value is.

i will laugh when we see pics from Mick's m&gs with 2 people per m&g or the cancelled ones. that happened every time he had m&gs that didn't come with good tix (like GA shows) at the last 2 FM tours. whoever is setting this up for Mick or is giving him advice must be a complete moron.

The value of these Meet & Greets will always be subjective. What's a good value for one person might not be for another. There's no reason to be disparaging to the fan or artist.

Yes, thank you, this is true.

It will be a rude awakening for him. I hope he attributes it to Lindsey backlash.
You might be right. I was surprised to get emails about this about all, considering M&G tickets went on sales months ago - just a week or two after regular tickets were released, if I recall correctly. So the fact that there are still enough of them left to warrant this push might mea not great sales. Oh well! $600 is too much.

Well, now that I'm seeing that he's offering a Q&A session.....

So many collectible ítems! Too bad he's not offering a replica of his acclamated balls.

He's excited to see his fans but you have to pay $600 if you want to ask him why he fired Lindsey. Really pathetic.
