Hotlanta-6 more days!

[TwistedGypsy]

But unfortunately no ticket yet. :shrug: Why does this always seem to be the case with Atlanta? The closest I've found is F3 Row A on ebay which isn't bad but you have sec. F1 and F2 in front of that. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but time is running out... :confused:

Woooo hoooo!!!

You will have an awesome time. i had a lot more fun at this than the last FM show in 04. :sorry:

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I cant wait till Atlanta...Atlanta is always a little tough to get Stevie tickets...she played 2 shows here in 2001 at Chastain one July 30 and one Sept 22...

There's always a large Georgia following for Stevie, I've gotten way better tix for Stevie/Mac shows in like Fl, SC, TN etc than here in my home GA....I dont quite know why that is...

I did that All Access thing for Atlanta so I will be SOMEWHERE in the first 20 rows

A friend's company bought me a ticket. We are on the first risers off of the floor. So, while I wouldn't mind being closer, I ain't objecting to free, esp. after Vegas and NYC for NOTS :cool: Plus, my friend's work group are a blast so I am pumped!!!!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I'm glad it's at Gwinnett Arena rather than Philips or Chastain...Chastain is nice, but the crowds suck...and Philips is not in the best part of town...great parking at Gwinnett too..I love how its so open, and out and not a parking garage

A friend of mine who is a big Henley fan talked me into going with her. Not sure where our seats will be, as she is purchasing them now, as I type. I'm encouraged by some of the press reviews of the show. Should be fun!!! :thumbsup:

I work downtown essentially across the street and parking lot from Philips - so I am used to that area and the parking is free for me as I park in my building :laugh: But, Gwinett is the nicest arena by far in Atlanta. It is a little far from town, but well worth the trip IMO. Even the food is good there :laugh:

As for Chastain - no thank you - if I NEVER go there again, I will count my blessings - I hate that place and the people who work there are pricks.

Chastain is only good if the crowd is into the act. Saw Mary Chapin Carpenter there last year and the B52's and it was great. The Indigo Girls totaly rule that place! But when I saw FM there for the SYW part 2 tour, it sucked. The crowd was so rude. Seeing Stevie there twice in 2001 from the front row, I was amazed at the people walking around, even across the front while she was performing.

I almost got thrown out for the SYW concert because while I was on like the fourth row and the ENITRE fourth row went to the stage with the blessing of the security guy standing at the fourth row, some other vilunteer security guy determined I should not be there. And - the volunteer security guy just liked screwing with me, as I heard him tell his other punk friend later. My friend owns a house immediately behind that venue and I like to go on his roof with a six pack of beer - we can see and hear better than in the venue, it and the booze are waaaaaayyyyyy cheaper if not free, and there is no bull**** volunteer on a power trip security to deal with. Plus, the handicap seats there are situated in such a way that those poor people cannot see when the people in front of them stand. The City of Atlanta's solution for that is to hang a t.v. from the ceiling and hope the handicap people can move their heads to see it. I used to have a table, which costs over a thousand a year. Then, they screwed me out of the spot I had and gave me some lame excuse ehen in reality, the lady in charge pur her friends there and moved me back. I know this because her friend whose table it was inadvertently told me so. Finally, the City of Atlanta, who owns it, makes millions off of it a year and will NEVER redo it or put any money into it - fu*&ers.

I HATE that fu&*ing place so much I could scream, which I think I just did :laugh:

:xoxo: That's ok, Strand. Let it all out! Let us how you really feel!

But that must be way cool to know someone whose house in on the park... :thumbsup:

How many tickets are you looking for? Just pulled up one ticket for Section 116, row U. Of course, that's not the floor, but it's right beside the stage.

I'm spoiled and I wanted floor seats up close, but after all the money I spent on the SYW tour paying brokers, I settled for section 107...I think 9 or 10 rows up, can't remember. It's beside the stage, directly across from section 116. Good enough, I suppose. :rolleyes:

Anyway, good luck! Can't wait for the show!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I agree Gwinnett Arena does have good food...the traffic is usually easy there too. I also think Gwinnett Arena has the best sound of all of the Atlanta venues. I have to admit Chastain's sound was great for the F-Mac show in 04, I was expecting it to be lowered, because I know they have the sound ordinance in that neighborhood, but it was abnormally loud for Chastain, and very clear

Hey Brittany, It's lori's friend David. Just thought I'd say hi, hope your doin well.!!! :laugh:

[stevierocks87]

hey everybody- haven't posted in a while but just wanted to say that I will be at the show--- just bought some tickets on Ebay for HALF PRICE :D I got two tickets- floor section 5 row G on the aisle for $114 including shipping. Not the best, but you can't beat half price tix! SO, anyone who still needs tix and doesn't want to shell out $110 per ticket, CHECK EBAY!!!!

BTW, anybody know how many rows back Section 5 row G is from the stage? Obviously, they are the 7th row in Sec. 5, but how many rows are there in section 1 and 2- 20? 30?

This is my first non-FM stevie show; I really wish it was just a Stevie solo show given that the current setlist has to be the blandest EVER (and SO short!), but it will be cool to hear her sing with Don, and according to everybody's reviews she is really giving it her all this time around! SO, I am really looking forward to it!

See you at the show!!! WOOHOO!!!

:wavey: adam :wavey:

[TwistedGypsy]

Hey David. :wavey:
I just checked TM and F3 Row K just popped up so its getting better. But if something really close doesn't come up before I leave I may just buy it then hope the box office has something better. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
BTW Jason, are going to be able to drag Sharon up there? If you can get her across the country why not just 3 hours away. :shrug:
Brit

[Stephanie]

but how many rows are there in section 1 and 2- 20? 30?:

I believe there are about 12 rows in 1 and 2. I called the box office, but it was months ago. I am in F5 because I panicked and that was all I could find. May try day of show to see if I can do better.

Sharon will not be attending despite my coaxing. But, she knows she can show up at the last minute and that is cool with me!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

There are more than 20 rows in F1 and F2 at Gwinnett Arena..there is between 20-23 I know

Chris

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Just so you know, there are some pretty decent priced seats available throught the broker PEACHTREE TICKETS for this show...I have used them before, and are very reliable..

They have 10 row for only 145 each, 7th row for 160 each, 8th row $155 each..not bad at all

[golddustwoman77]

I did the ILoveAllAccess thing, so I hope I will have good tickets. They have to be in the first 20 rows, but I'm hoping for the first five rows. :blob2: :blob1: :blob2: :blob1: Are you guys going to meet up anywhere ahead of time--bar, etc.? I just wondered. My best friend and I are going to be staying at the Holiday Inn right beside the Center. They probably have a bar, and we could all meet for a drink. Just a thought. :shrug:

[TwistedGypsy]

Chris thank you so much for the info on Peachtree tickets! Looks like I may end up using them. Wish I had known about them before. Thanks again.
Brit

[ShangriLaTroubl]

No problem Brit, they are very reliable...if a show is cancelled the give refunds, etc..

Anyone have any idea how Gwinnett Arena will be on cameras? And how I can sneak one in there? I dont really remember them searching us much for the Mac show Sept 03

Chris

[ShangriLaTroubl]

96 Rock's the Regular Guys with Larry and Eric gave away tix to the show this morning on the air...unfortunately you didnt have to be a fan to win, the person who called in with the best story, in theme with the Michael Jackson case, who had the best child story--of a child accusing him/her, etc etc lol

The Regular Guys are hilarious I must say

They were like telling the girl "you win two tickets to see Stevie Nicks and Don Henley at the Arena at Gwinnett Center, solo AND together in one night...whatever that means..so basically you will see Stevie, and then Don, and I guess they will be doing a set together..so the show ends at like 2 am or something, it will be longest concert in history, I dont know how they are gonna work that" lol

and the girl was like "ok great cool!"

Chris

[gypsyrhiannon]

Looks like I will be going to the Atlanta show (with my sister, whom a few of you met at AHI 2003). If it's anything like the last FM Atlanta show, this is gonna be a blast! Let's just hope stupid valet rip-offs don't run off with my car keys again :) I'm still eternally grateful to all of you guys who helped me out...and took such good care of my penguin for me :)

Does anyone know how many seats are in each row of section F2 and which way the numbers run? We're in seats 17 and 18, which I'm afraid may be near the end...

~Kristin (aka kirisk777)

[stevierocks87]

I don't know about how many seats are in each row, but I just called the box office and there are 14 rows in section 1 and 2, so I got 21st row tickets for half price---not bad at all!!! ebay ROCKSSSSS!!!! :D

Grab you some tickets from encoretickets.com I got great seats fromthem

[TwistedGypsy]

Well I got 8th row for a good price from Encore. It was either going to be them or Peachtree Tickets so I figured Encore would be easier to find when I go pick them up tomorrow. Atlanta here I come... :blob1:
