atlanta YUCK

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Nothing has came up...ONCE i pulled up a lawn seat, and once row 60 or somethin...and everything else is NO TICKETS AVAILABLE

Yep, I had the same luck. The closest I ever got was row T in the Orch. Then DD, LL and lawn. That's what sucks about Chastain - unless you have season tickets or know someone, you can't get a good seat. And I wonder if any decent seats will even be released as we get closer. That place is so freaking small I wouldn't be surprised if everything good really is gone.

I second your "whatever"!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

this has just totally pissed me off..the first thing i pulled up 30 secs after on sale was LAWN...thats just ridiculous

I had the same bad luck. I was on 30 seconds after begin of sale and best I ever got was Row U. I'll hold out a little hope for later release of seats. If I'm going to have to sit outside in uncovered seating-I want a chance at a good seat for the money. I just hope someone who will enjoythem -like fan club members-got the good seats.

[GardenStateGirlie]

Well, looks like i'll be flying to Atlanta to stand outside along the fence and listen to the concert. This is BS. ticketbrokers (who are charging an arm and a leg) have better tickets than ticketmaster. I'm pissed.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

all of chastain is uncoverd anyway...i guess maybe the fan club got what was left over after the series ticket holders got first dibs

Well that's super terrific for those that have been constantly screwed over by the fanclub but it sucks for us hardcore fans who couldn't afford to join. I hate the whole series ticketholder thing. Because then if they don't want their tickets, somehow brokers get a hold of them and they don't go back in the ticketmaster pull.

-_- Gra.

gotickets.com have 8th row pit seats.. a mere snip at $445 each!

[GypsySorcerer]

I can't even get any tickets to pull up now! Ridiculous.:mad:

I'm pretty sure we must have ticket brokers over here but I have never used one. It really sucks that they seem to snap up all the good seats. I'm thankful that I managed to get fab seats for all the UK shows (seats is a loose word as I don't think I parked my bum once! ;) )

[WelshWitchPMD]

Well, I did not even try to get them because I picked up a lovely computer virus this morning. I am here at the cable company using their PC. I am kind of glad that I ordered through the fan club.:confused:

Maybe better seats might be released closer to the show.

[Ian]

Thanks on both! :D

[strandinthewind]

www.encoreticekts.com has Sec: ORCH Row: D
4TH ROW ORCH for $185 a ticket. Not too bad a price IMO and these are okay, but certainly not great seats. Food for thought if you are desperate :laugh:

yea.. i got some money a little while ago so i though i would spend it on something i like :)

[DownOnRodeo]

It's too bad you guys can't just line up outside Ticketmaster like we did here.

Those were the good old days when people used to camp out for tickets and it was on a first come, first serve basis. Wish it were still that easy. I'm sure we'll all make out just fine.....



















....that was my shotty attempt at optimism.... :laugh:

Well, they say stress does promote ageing so when you're working the ticketmaster website, the phone, e-bay, and broker websites to try and come up with something, it can't help :laugh: Standing in line is the much better deal. I think we're ass backwards...or just money hungry...everyone is making money off of Fleetwood Mac, it seems :nod:

I remember lining up at like 6AM for New Kids on the Block tickets at the Ridgmar Mall. :laugh: My best friend (at the time) and I got up (she spent the night at my house) and my mom drove us and we waited in line for like 6-8 hours for not that great tickets. LOL They weren't horrible (lower balcony, about 10 rows up maybe), but for that long, I was hoping for something a smidge better. Of course, this was the height of NKOTB Mania...so...and it WAS Texas Stadium.

Ahhhh.....memories....:)

Yes, I went and looked it up on the fan club site and it says:

"The exact location of the seats is not known until tickets are shipped as we do not receive the tickets until just before they are shipped to you. We secure in advance blocks of premium tickets. They are assigned on a first come first serve basis. So the first orders in will get the best seats. We will email you your seat location within a few weeks of your purchase. If you are not satisfied with your seat location then email us back within 48 hours and we will refund your ticket purchase."

When did you get your email telling you your seat, Ian? Did they send it to you right away? This is all so confusing. I wish they would get their act together over there.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

It is confusing! I must admit I haven't read anywhere else of anyone knowing where their seats are. An email went out that still seemed rather vague. I wonder if many people forked out for the platinum package?

You actually got a reply!?! That's almost more newsworthy than where your seats are:laugh:

Has anyone else bought the platinum seats?

Yes = I'd like to think it's due to some kind of e-mail glitch rather than a disregard for the fans, but a more professional organization would have fixed this a long time ago. Apparently this operation doesn't concern itself with such things (!) - I guess Fleetwood Mac isn't good at hiring people who care about getting the job done right. Honestly, this fan club has burned us many times before! I guess for the people who pay the extra money, they are quicker to act - you are actually the ONLY one who's gotten his seat assignment that I know of, but I also don't know of another others who have bought platinum packages. It would be unsurprising if the platinum people get attention while the rest of us get nothing - that's not your fault, Ian, but the fan club's, for only caring about those who pay big bucks.

[mylittledemon]

Man that is ****ing bull**** that Ian got his tickets held like that. I called them up too because I was prepared to buy the platinum packages and they wouldnt do anything. I told the woman on the phone "look do you realize I paid money for this fan club, I never got any of the freebie stuff that has been promised over and over, and now I'm shelling out $500 for a ticket that doesnt allow me to even meet the band?!" Of course, I was calm on the phone. I wanted my way, so I wasnt being a smart ass. Maybe that was my mistake.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

they have put some orchestra row T tix up on ticketmaster for CHastain if anyone wants em, go get em...

Well, i can see what i can do.. i know the person who organizes the events at chastain.. i cant promise anything but ill see what i can do for all of you.

Nah, i just found this FM forum :)

[stevierocks87]

Well I tried yesterday and today for tickets and none were available at all. Plus, on ebay tickets for Atlanta are listed as SOLD OUT. Someone was charging $100 for lawn tickets!

This really stinks. Atlanta is my only option, and even then I probably can't afford anything better than lawn tickets (still $55!), and those aren't even available.

:distress:
