but hey, what can you do? Nothing. That is why I didn't care that I had to pay outrageous $$$ to see them play their greatest hits. It might have been my first and last chance to see them, who knows if they'll be back on the road again?? They aren't exactly spring chickens anymore.

I totally agree. I don't see the problem with challenging what the band is asking for tickets considering that most acts of a similar size are charging less.

Huh? Most sheds seat between 7000-8000 and have room for an additional 8000-10000 on the lawn. Its a reduced gross potential from the current scaling that they're using on their arena tour, but FAR more than if they were playing the venues I was referring to in the post you quoted.

So, it seems to me FM is not off at all But, I certainly do not fault anyone for bitching about the high prices. I certainly did. I am just saying that if you are short on cash, buy the $25 or so ticket - that way you can still see them, just 20 or so yards further away |

My original point- in relation to NYC- was that if they absolutely wanted/needed to do a second NYC date this month (it better be because they're not hitting the market again in '09), it would have made much more sense to play a RCMH than a half empty MSG. The show was never going to come close to selling out anyways, for one, and RCMH would have been an inspired booking that would have gotten positive press (from the presumed sellout) and positive buzz from the fans. Maybe it could have been a show they filmed. Plus, even if they sold ~5500, they could have scaled it so that they would have made about as much as they did for the MSG mistake. |

In my experience, as someone who goes to gigs at least once a week, Fleetwood Mac are one of the most expensive out there at the moment, while other acts who used to charge more have dropped their prices a little of late. That's just my experience though. Also considering that article is from a year ago, I would be interested to know if that's still the case with those artists. I know Clapton was charging at least Ł20 less for his recent Royal Albert Hall shows here in London last month. Maybe it's a UK thing.

Actually, we agree more often than not. And, the empty MSG was an embarrasment. |

Again, I, too, wish the floor seats were cheaper, but if i could not afford them, I would get a cheaper ticket, be thankful for it, and enjoy the show from a little bit more toward the back. |

I wonder who makes those decisions. I guess it is the tour manager along with Live Nation.

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.
