Second Melbourne on sale at 11!

^ I'd say they're Section A. The additional -A seems a bit odd, but it doesn't make much sense for them to be any of the other floor sections.

Awesome tickets all round

Yeah i was very persistent, i didn't buy the preferred as that is a complete rip off, lets hope i land some good ones for the second melbourne show!
Good luck all!

To those who were happy to pay the premium prices - well done, you can relax and I hope you enjoy it!

For the rest of us - there is something quite strange going on with this selling strategy. Myself and a friend were both online right at the start of both the presale and the general sale. We did not get offered anything on the floor in the front or middle sections.

Even if all the seats in the first five rows have sold out for every concert through Preferred Seating (which I doubt), there appears to be a significant number of rows that have not been put up for sale yet. It's highly unlikely that about a thousand people got in seconds before us and grabbed them all.

My advice to everyone who doesn't have ticket yet - keep trying and keep sharing info on this site about itcket drops - there aren't that many of us, so hopefully we will all get something we are happy with.

I saw six shows in the US in April/May and was at the stage for five out of six - only ever paid standard price. It was a gamble that paid off for me - most tickets were bought on the day of the show or 6-7pm at the venue on the night. Not sure if it will work out here, but the practice of holding back good seats does appear to continue!

Could not get seats for New Plymouth - "Allocation exhausted"

I'll never understand why this is done. It is so stressfull getting concert tickets to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. Many of us have to worry right up to the night of the show if we are even going or not. Many of us have over an hour's drive to get to the venue.
I miss the good old days when you could point to the seating chart at the venue and say," I'll take those seats." If they were sold out already then they gave you a choice of other seats. The internet gives you about 60 seconds and then terminates you from the page and then you gotta log in again. And what's with these silly passwords we need to log in? Why not just let us in, as we are ready with our credit cards in hand?
AND it should be first come first served. Just my two cents.

I can relate, I didn't get good seats either.
Ended up buying six tickets to hope valley estate... lol.
Still haven't got tickets for the other shows i want to go to:
Melbourne, want tickets for both shows
Brisbane. want tickets to the last show.

I was online too as soon as they went on sale, got crap, so didn't buy them. Now i am a little worried that for me to go to these concerts, i will have to pay a very lot for them, which combined with the airfares and accomm makes it a rather expensive affair.

Back when they came out here in 2004, and likewise when stevie came out solo, i went to nearly every concert and paid for the privlidge because i thought it would be the last time they would come out here.. But now they are coming back again, so while i want to go, i won;t be going to all the concerts like what i did last time.
And admittedly, after seeing all the ledgies awesome audio and video's from this tour, Stevie sounds absolutely amazing.. but I think the passion, brilliance and effort may be extinguished by the time they get out here, and i may be disappointed when comparing it to the US tour.

Being honest

Wow. Melbourne tix on ebay are roughly $600-$800 for a pair.

I'm not sure what shows people are waiting on, but some more gold reserve tickets seem to have been released for the 2nd show (Dec 16) in Brisbane. They were previously showing as single seats only, but I just pulled up two tickets in Row 8, Stevie's side (and promptly released them back to sale for those who are still wanting to purchase

). There seems to be quite a few tickets from there back to the 10th row.
