Even the staff seemed completely shocked on how many people were waiting in line. It was like this was the hottest show in town. For a moment I thought it was 1983 again.
This is a far cry from the tour with Don Henley where they were actually giving away tickets in Mansfield, MA. I'm not sure if the casino had any comp tickets. There was no line for the pickup window. Just a huge line to purchase them.
At the end of the show Stevie said that she would be back again because they always play here. Not sure if she meant solo or with Fleetwood Mac. She did extremely well with this show. I'm happy for her.

I'm amazed at how many Stevie fans there must be in Connecticut... I am from Connecticut and considered going to Mohegan Sun but it was too expensive so I decided to attend the Madison Square Garden show instead. Still, I was very tempted to see if I could get last minute tickets to Mohegan the other night... I'm glad I resisted the urge now!! But all the clips I've seen show a totally packed house... Very glad for Stevie at least!

It LOOKS like it holds 10,000 seats, that's for sure. But past sell outs in there with SN or FM were listed as a little over 6,000 seats sold in the Billboard Boxscores. My seats were in the center section on the floor and I was surprised to see many empty seats in several rows behind me at anytime that I turned around to look behind me. I also entered the venue at around the same time you did but never felt there were too many people waiting to buy tickets or waiting in line to get in.

It is interesting to me how two different viewpoints are shared for the same evening. This reminds me of a conversation that will be related onward in 2 different ways.

I was at tonight's show at the palace, it seemed like a pretty packed venue. I'm not sure if it was sold out
