sounds like a job for elle.

I am a die-hard Stevie fan but have been sitting in Lindsey's section for the last few years because I love how interactive he is with the crowd. It's now become so overly-crowded with these girls, that it's taking away from the experience. I think I may be slowly making my way back to the center for future shows.

But shouldn't it happen organically, with the fans who are naturally there and not randos handpicked from the crowd to show "enthusiasm."

Exactly Michele. I know die hard fans who paid good money for VIP and weren't let up to the front. It's disgusting and a slap in the face to all of us who work very hard for tickets.
If Lindsey is that insecure maybe he needs to reevaluate his life and make some changes. Sorry but I think his Big Love speeches are a bunch of BS

I was at the DC show last night - awesome rock and better than the first DC show - and I could see everyone in front of the stage from where I was standing. It sure did look like a lot of young woman right in front of Lindsey. However, it seems like Lindsey played to the center of the stage a lot more. He was incredible and, once again, received an amazing applause from the crowd when he finished "I'm So Afraid." Now that was rock and roll - my favorite from the concert.

Big thanks to the great DC crowd - I also like how the band said a couple of times they were glad to be back in Washington and seemed very appreciative of the support. Going out to watch some college basketball and will proudly be wearing my newly purchased FM World Tour Varsity Jacket. I can't wait to see my favorite band again!!

I've seen them twice before with my mom and we had nosebleeds but had the time of our lives. I went by myself this last time and spent $200 on a floor seat and had a stroke of luck that night. I bought tickets to 2 more of their shows that are still coming up. Please don't assume that because of our appearance, we can't appreciate the band's history, chemistry, etc. I may be only 23 but my love for FM runs down to my bones and I would only hope that maybe those of you might be happy for such strong fans to have an experience like that. I know I am, even for other girls.

But what if you were a 23 year old man who had a deep love for Fleetwood Mac too? If they too were able to have the experience it would be fair game. But they are not and that is one of the reasons people are upset.

Well, if the women in the audience are with men, they let the men come up too.

So, if you are a 23 year old man, nab yourself a hot girlfriend!

Just curious...how many songs are left in the show when the girls are placed in the front row?

From what I've heard and seen its before the show starts so they are at the front for the entire show but its only on Lindsey's side. If you're in front of Stevie or Christine nobody gets moved up front and only front row is allowed to go up. Its totally different from 2009 and 2013 where they let up the first 3-5 rows in all the front sections.

My friend went to Buffalo on Saturday and said a steady stream of young girls were being let up. She said it was both Ian and Justin who were bringing them up. She had 3rd row and didn't manage to get up until later in the show.
She also said that the girls were being placed all the way down the stage not just near Lindsey.
Not sure why the policy about getting up front has changed but 2009 was the best. The band had the nicest staff working for them.

Wow. Unacceptable. I didnt want to chime in earlier until i got all the facts. I agree with Patti, it is completely unacceptable and out of control. Fleetwood Mac is very lucky the fans in the front row in each city havent gotten together and filed a class action lawsuit. Someone said in a earlier post they were told if they were not sitting in their seat they forfeited their seat. Legally, when you purchase a ticket that seat belongs to you for the entirety of the show. You can get up and get a drink, go to the bathroom, etc and be able to come back to your seat. Also, when you purchase a front row ticket you have an expectation of an unobstructed view. This is where (from a legal standpoint) fleetwood mac could lose a lawsuit.

If they brought the girls up with only one song left, i would be more flexible and say well the same thing happens at a stevie nicks show with the edge walk....but it is completely unacceptable to do it with more than one or two songs left. They need to be careful allowing this to happen, because if the fans get together they will sue the mac for damages. Its not like the can say they didnt know their staff was doing this. One time, yes. City after city, no.

Wow thats crazy! At the Pittsburgh show only the first row was let up on Stevie & Christine's side it was insane. My friend and I were 3rd row and they were sending people back the entire time. The security guard stood there until the last note of the last song was played but meanwhile on Lindsey's side it was a free for all.
2013 was so much better they let the first 3 rows up front. I thought it was odd that half the people on Stevie's side where my hubby and I were never went up so I had a good 15 feet of space all by myself. In 2009 I had front row so was already at the front but they let the first 5 rows up and it was packed but everybody was very respectful and didnt try to get in front of me or anything.

They do let the front row up first but not the second or third and this includes Mick's VIP ticket holders. They are all held back while at least 20 or more young girls are let up to the front escorted by Ian and ironically Justin who does the Mick VIP meet and greets.
