It's been weeks and the shows at the LA Forum are practically half empty. That NEVER happens, not at that venue.

I've been looking at Chicago, Indy and Milwaukee periodically. (These are shows I'd ordinarily go to). They look pretty much the same as they did when tickets first went on sale.

MSG seems similar I think a lot of the ticket brokers gobbled tickets quickly and now try to resell for a kings ransom.
I am sure this is EXACTLY how Mick planned on their farewell tour going!

Even casual fans won't appreciate the quintessential Fleetwood Mac "Rumours sound" they've come to expect being diluted by a new lineup. Lots of ticket scalpers who bought in early will definitely be forced to reduce their ticket prices.

Karma's a b, aint it?

It's about time the scalpers took a hit!

LOL...Not going to pay $500.00 to hear a cover of "GYOW" or "World IS Turning"

Not to mention "Large Love" and deep cuts like "Oh Hell" and "Man of the Year".

Large Love just cracks me up. Probably due to my maturity level being that of a 14 year old. Lol

“Hold, You,” “Thunder Only Happens When It’s Raining,” and “Big Lies” better be there too.

She's someone who doesn't handle grief very well and I just think it messed with her perspective on things. Like she said now she wants to dance around her room every morning and not have a care in the world, I think his death influenced that because it made her think she needs to live the rest of her life being as 'happy' as she can because, exactly like she said in her own words in that interview, if that could happen to Tom it could happen to anyone. And so she thinks that not having to deal with the hassle of her up/down battle of the wills with Lindsey will play a part in giving her that happiness which is why she felt the need to bring that up in the interview. But if I know a single thing about Stevie Nicks, I am sure that she's gonna get out of that headspace eventually and regardless of what you know/believe/think her role in this was, she's gonna feel a deep regret that she let this happen.

We will have to respectfully disagree on this one.

I think she saw an opening and she took it. Total power play. Not grief.

I think that people will buy tickets only after the tour has started and only if some positive reviews come out. Right now, buying tickets makes not so much sense, no matter how much the band stresses that LB was just another guitar player, he was the sound architect, the driving force behind the tours in the last decades. And me thinks that people liked the band as she was. Adding confusion is the fact that FM now wants to play older stuff, with neither Neil nor Mike being blues musicians at all. I cannot imagine how this mish-mash of blues, pop, rock and country influences will sound, especially with the limited abilities of Stevies voice and due to Chistines (Mick and Johns) aging. And frankly, I would not pay such an amount af money to be their guinean pig.

That's my thinking, also. Our local shows aren't until next spring, so I'm waiting to see how the early shows go. If the reviews are strong and YouTube videos sound good, I'll probably snag a ticket for a March 2019 show. Especially considering the lagging ticket sales, I can't think of a compelling reason to buy tix now.

I find it strange how tickets go on sale nationwide for entire tours now, instead of going on sale per venues and/or specific areas.

And the one that Chris is going to dedicate to Mick, "Oh Grandpa". And Stevie's going to reintroduce her solo hit, "My Back" to the Mac set list.
"I'm Getting Ancient Too".......................

I actually can see both sides of this and agree, so I am not going to opine, HOWEVER, don't you think this is the narrative she will spin IF LB ever makes a return. Didn't she blame her spat with Nicki Minaj on grief after her mom passed away?

secondhandchain · #**509** 06-04-2018, 10:08 PM

My 21 year old niece is a huge Stevie fan...well she was. I just saw her and mentioned to someone she was a fan. She said "well I was, not anymore", referencing her role in LB's departure.

I expect(ed) them not to play Europe anymore this round, so I bought myself a ticket for MSG. Bought it in the pre-sale with a bit of FOMO. Will fly in from The Netherlands that week. It was on my bucket list to fly to the US to see a Sevie/Mac-concert, since she/they did not perform in Holland/Europe tour after tour after tour.

I became a fan in 1987/1988 after watching the Tango-concert on TV. To me FM ws with Billy and Rick. Only after I spent an evening at Lindsey's feet on front row in Antwerp 2009, I became a fan of his work and performance. Yes, I'll miss him, but I'll give the rest of the band a fair chance. And I feel sad about all the hate overhere ...

I'm a bit surprised tickets don't go so fast. But, I agree, maybe people will wait how the shows will turn out ... I saw that they'll play Newark two days after the MSG-show, maybe I'll go twice, since I'm at that side of the pond ... If I can can return to Manhattan at night after the show :-)
