Atlantic City Roll Call June 13,2009

[Macfanforever]

I"m going to this show.is anyone coming to AC.The American Express presale started today can any one share the code ,please pm me.I cant wait I need a Vaca.

[eric51078]

I should be there! Well maybe haha

[SandyMac]

Well, there is a strong possibility I will be there. Damn, did not know there was an AMEX presale.

But I think I will try to get tickets the day of the show. Everyone seems to be having great luck doing that.

Not sure, but presale password is usually AMX or AMEX
or guess it might be unleashed but dont think so.

[eric51078]

The password is 8003272177
Crappy seats were coming up.

[SandyMac]

oh yeah, forgot about that. That is the customer service number on the card right?

[Macfanforever]

That sucks i tryed the password .I dont have a AMX card i have visa .i think this is not fair.thats why i hate ticketbastard.what do they mean about radio presale.

[eric51078]

I think certain stations give out presale codes...ugh

[Lee]

I wish I could go, but I can't:distress:. Anyway, the Live Nation presale is Friday, May 1 @ 10 a.m. & the password is SINGER. Good luck & have fun! :nod: Same password for the Baltimore show & same presale time.

Lee :)

[SandyMac]

Has anyone ever been at this venue before? How is it?

[Regina]

Has anyone ever been at this venue before? How is it?


I've been there twice, I think.
I don't remember it much. It was my first ever FM show during SYW, and I think all thoughts of the venue flew out of my head during the post-show euphoria. And I'm pretty sure I went again for another concert, but I couldn't swear to it.

I think it was pretty nice.

thanks i will try at launch tomorrow.

[Lee]

I haven't listened to this station in a while:

http://www.wzxl.com/index.php

Looky at who's right on their opening page. They must be the radio station that is sponsoring them. They must have changed their format. I don't remember them playing Fleetwood Mac. I've been listening to them this a.m. & I haven't heard a Mac song yet. :shrug: They will though when the Mac comes to town. :lol:

They did announce the pre-sale this a.m. & the word "singer".

Lee :)

[kak125]

i just went on now for the radio presale and all they have is floor 1 row 25. i gotta get within the first few rows before i can buy a ticket. i know greedy!

[Deniedwings]

Only crap seats appearing as suspected. Now I have to keep checking 20 times a day until the show. I'm so sick of these games:rolleyes:

[eric51078]

HAHAHA that was the ticket I bought!!

[Macfanforever]

I'm In ,sec 4 .for now,between now to the show i will try to seek an up grade.

[eric51078]

After careful thought and some good advice I had to thrown the Sec 2 Row 25 ticket back....it's just going to cost me far more then I wanted to spend :(

I have not missed a show in Atlantic City since 2006...this will officially be the first year I dont head there...have a blast everyone.

[Eugene]

[SandyMac]

I can't believe I just did this... I pulled up FL2, row 25, seat 1 but threw it back because it is actually worse seats then what I had for the DC show, I was dead center row 16 last time.

I am only going by myself so I think I will wait until the seats drop closer to the show because I really want my dream to come true of being within the first 5 rows. OMG, I hope I did the right thing, but I think the concert gods will smile sweetly upon me if I have the patience to wait for the drop.

with premium seating anyway right now, could not get anything closer than 20 or 25 rows anyway.

I will probably check TM the week of the show or even walk up to the box office, so many fans on forum boards have had great luck doing that. So, we'll see. (plus my travel plans are not in stone right now anyway).

I mean half an hour into the sale and there are still floor seats available, so considering TM hoards the best rows until closer to the show, I am feeling ok about my decision to wait.

I think in a venue like this, unless you are in the first 10 rows or so, or over 6' tall, floor seats are a huge gamble.

I'd wait.
I am waiting, actually.
First day, they usually try and sell stuff that's not great. So, hang in there. It takes a lot of patience but, if you're dream is to see them up close--25th row just doesn't cut it.

[SandyMac]

Thanks guys, believe me, it took quick thinking and rationale to throwing that seat back, but with everything I am reading, I am sure I can get something closer to the stage as time goes on.

Plus, the DC show was so freakin' fantastic and got audio of the show and all the YouTube stuff helps with concert withdrawal, so it is helping me to be patient.

I think what is going to help to is that since this is not associated with a casino, we don't have to deal with the high roller area close to the stage, so ya gotta think they will have to release those seats eventually given the economic market we are in right now.

[paleshadow]

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned about this venue before, but seats in the level 100 sections begin with AA. I noticed on Ebay people already have listings claiming to offer front row seats in some of these sections, but they are row A, which would really be row 25 if the double letters go straight through to ZZ? I wonder if these sellers realize they are not really front row seats? Buyers beware!

On edit, I decided to send the seller a message and let them know their ad is inaccurate. Wonder if they'll change it? I know I'd be really PO'ed if I thought I had front row seats in a decent section and they were really 25 rows back!

[Eugene]

Luke may be able to confirm/deny this, but after looking on TM this morning and seeing what was available, IMHO this show is teetering on either being moved to a smaller venue or being canceled. Seems to be selling VERY slowly.:distress:

Does the Borgata have any bookings in this time frame?On a late skeduling note like this im not supprized if the show gets dumped,on the fly concert bookings some times does not work.

[Regina]

Does the Borgata have any bookings in this time frame?On a late skeduling note like this im not supprized if the show gets dumped,on the fly concert bookings some times does not work.

The Borgata has Earth, Wind and Fire paired with Chicago on Friday and Saturday nights. Both are sold out (I was going down there that weekend, anyway, and was tempted to buy tickets).

So...no Borgata.

I would be very surprised if this show gets cancelled. I read on a board somewhere that high rollers, even if the show is not connected to a casino, can just request it from their hosts or pit bosses or whatever they call those things and they are comped seats for tickets at Boardwalk Hall, too.
So, there could be a huge amount of tickets set aside (at least for a while) for them.

[WildHeartCa]

Please DO NOT mention that this show may be cancelled. I am flying out from Los Angeles to celebrate my 50th b-day with my goddess and would just die if this happened. Is this venue small? I got seats in Section 125 - the lady at the box office said these are good. Any feedback on this? Thanks

[Stephanie]

Get them day of show. I always do. In the morning they offer like row 5, and by 2 pm row 1 and 2; just stick it out and you will be fine! It must be when the high roller tix from the casinos are released or something? I know they get BW hall too.

[Regina]

The venue is not small at all.And they are promoting it big time in Atlantic City. I went on Friday (took my mom out for a pre-Mom's day of general debauchery), and it was on a huge billboard as you left the AC expressway, and headed into AC proper, then--above the Pier Shops, they had them on the huge screen overlooking the boardwalk, showing video from SYW, I believe. I took pictures,and I'll try and post later.

So, take heart.

[WildHeartCa]

Hello Regina,

Do you live in Atlantic City or nearby? I've been there many years ago and just curious if the show is at 8pm what time do you suggest I go there or how long will it take me if I take a cab from Harrah's to the broadwalk? I am going to this show solo and would love to meet other hard core Mac fans.:woohoo:

[Regina]

I still left my camera downstairs. I actually live in NY, but I've been to Atlantic City since I was a kid and there were no casinos.

Harrahs, by cab, would be about 10 minutes away, I think. I'd give it at least a half hour because I'm weird that way.

But it's not far. You can also take a jitney (kind of a mini-bus type thing) directly in front of Harrahs, which would take you there. It's cheaper (only $2) and most of them have no shock absorbers so you have a kidney/bladder evaluation thrown in for free!

I'll PM you closer to the day and maybe we can meet somewhere before the show.

[Stephanie]

and you wait forever for that darn jitney because they only allow a few people at a time and you can't stand.

[SandyMac]

Thanks for the advice on getting the tickets the day of the show.
I guess a good time to check would be about 2 pm or so, would just faint if I got row 1 or 2 in front of Stevie's mic.

Going by myself to the concert, staying at Caesars, so if I am looking at maps right, I should be able to walk to the venue via boardwalk in about 10-15 min from Caesars?

Would also like to meet up with some hard core fans before the show.

if you take a camera, they search at the main venue entrance but not so much at the entrance to the venue that is through Trump's.

Well, this station is giving Mac tickets away, ladies. And all you have to do is get naked @ their radio station in Atlantic City. :laugh: It's "Naked Lady Thursday". One lady already came in & got naked for tickets, so the DJs said. Another just called up & they told to come in & get naked for tickets. She said that she really liked Fleetwood Mac, but no, you don't want to see me naked; I'm a grandma. :o And they said that's OK, any lady can come in & get naked to win tickets.

Lee :)

LOL. Since it is Fleetwood Mac, they'd have to figure that some of the people who wanted tickets might be grandmothers. Maybe that's what they were going for!

Well, just where are the seats? I mean, one might go topless for balcony, but completely naked? I don't think so.

[WildHeartCa]

Hi Thank you for everyone's help and suggestion. I just learned that Harrah's offers free rides to Caesar's palace so I'll take the shuttle from there. A friend who used to live in Jersey said the jitney's are painful. Right now I plan on arriving on Friday to Harrah's.

Yes I would love to meet Regina and I believe it was Stephanie (?) who is staying at Caesar's perhaps we can all get together since I am going solo to the show. Please send me a PM by Thursday 6/11. Please also give me an idea on where we should meet?

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Mac people.:wavey:

[Stephanie]

you guys are going to have an awesome time! Wish I was there, maybe next year!

[Eugene]

The ILAA tix are about to close, so the drop should happen today or tomorrow, IMHO. Good luck to everyone looking for a close seat.

[Macfanforever]

Hi all, Have anyone in the area see any Billboard ad's of this show.I remember last year the Borgata had Stevie's show on Billboards around New York and New Jersey. Plus the Atlantic City Expressway.

[Keith]

been checking for good seats for weeks now, but only getting the side sections.. I may just have to wait until the last minute. Thanks for the tips all.

[WildHeartCa]

Everyone is in for a wonderful time. I saw the show in Los Angeles and Las Vegas and it was incredible. Stevie is so beautiful and stunning

Hoping I can meet up with some fellow Mac fans since I will be going solo to the show. Would love to meet up.

[Regina]

When I was there last month--they had one just as you got off the AC expressway, right before you hit all the casinos--nice and big.

And then, they had video playing above the Pier shops--see pictures below, if I get this linking thing right...

(Images from the Dance but they were up there, all right--for everyone to see)

Stevie...

When I went to Atlantic City last month they had this big billboard right off the expressway so I HAD to snap a pick :)

This is that huge one that's closer to the ground, right? Right before you hit the street that Caesars is on?

(Isn't it awful that we're so excited about billboards?)

[WildHeartCa]

Regina,

I laughed so hard when I read your comment. I nearly killed all of us when I screamed at the FM billboard going into Vgeas last Friday - My girlfirend nearly drove off the road and my mother in law had heart palpitations.

They couldn't understand why I got so excited over a billboard.

I am not alone in my excitement over billboards:eek:

[Regina]

The Nokia theater in Times Square had a gorgeous marquee with Lindsey video playing on it. I went with a group of dear friends and we all just kind of stood and gawked and took multiple pictures.

It was like..."Lindsey! On Broadway!" (and not in a Chorus Line revival either).

But, I still think it's kind of a justification of our admiration or something. Just another reason to feel proud and validated;-)

[DavidMn]

You know, I would really love to come to this show! I had a great time seeing Stevie there last year. Atlantic City is a really cool place right on the ocean and all. Unfortunately, I wont be at this one.

[Dreams22]

I know, I love going to Atlantic City and seeing all the billboards with upcoming shows...as soon as I saw The Mac one, the camera came out! LOL It's the one as your coming off the AC Expressway before you get to Caesar's. When I was there that same day, I saw the video playing about the Pier Shops and was all excited, lol...can't wait till Saturday!!!

[Edgeof27]

the Edge will be there,

I might be able to meet up before the show. Where is Starbucks in relation to the venue?

[DavidMn]

Really? What about Bono?:lol:

[Regina]

I might be able to meet up before the show. Where is Starbucks in relation to the venue?

There is a Starbucks at the Tropicana--which is to the left of the venue, if you are looking at the venue's front entrance with your back to the Boardwalk. It's not that far.

And I'm thinking there may be another one (isn't there always?) near Trump Plaze (to the right of the venue), but I'm not sure.

I'm actually not going to this one, after all. I traded MSG (which I wasn't going to) for this one.

Have a great time! I'm sure it will be wonderful.

[Edgeof27]

Really? What about Bono?:lol:

Oh no, Bono is a no-show.....:sorry:

I checked the Trump Plaza for "dining", & apparently there is a "Starbucks" somewhere on-site,

[Regina]

I checked the Trump Plaza for "dining", & apparently there is a "Starbucks" somewhere on-site,

OK-then that's closer.
.1 miles as opposed to .4 miles to the Trop.

[SandyMac]

Ok, are we all set then for a meet up at Starbucks at 6:30 pm inside Trump Plaza? How many Ledgies can meet up?

[Steviefan49]

Thanks Arlene! I will try to get some more video and/or photos.

Hey Sandy,

Sounds great!!! I'm SOOOOO excited for you and everyone going!!!



Hugs,

Arlene

[WildHeartCa]

Hi - How long is the Ledge crowd planning on being at Starbucks? I can probably be there closer to 7pm - I am cominig all the way from Los Angeles for this show and would love to meet some fellow Mac fans.

[Edgeof27]

"we" could be there until about 7:30.......

see you there,

6'2", 220 lbs.......

funny accent..............

[WildHeartCa]

Okay - I will go to the Starbucks at Trumps when I get there. I will be in all black with a faux hawaiian shirt in black stripe prints and will probably look "tourist lost". 5'3' pudgy - over 40.

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Mac fans there.

I will be staying at Harrah's and will probably be a walking billboard for the Mac so if anyone see's me shout out a Hi.

See you there

[Edgeof27]

Just wondering if there were any "unreleased" videos from the show in Atlantic City......

"World's Turning" perhaps....
