Webster Hall: May 4th

[GoldDustOrphan]

I broke down and spent $380 bucks for a pair of tickets. I won a 24-hour eBay auction that only had five people bidding with a total of 7 bids.

I hate buying from "ticket brokers."

Why? The regular onsale is tomorrow. You should have waited to see if you could get them through TM.

[Macfanforever]

I will try tomorrow.My friend now wants to come.Thats great.he used to work in Manhatten a long time ago.Tom is also a fan of Stevie and FM Him and his fiancee goes to all the Connecticut shows with me .I wish I've known this wednesday.we've would of been in.Yea comment earlier about brokers.I never dealt with them.but I dealt with scalpers at some shows.3 times first in 1990 FM's BTM tour for the second night at the Mansfield show.second was Tom Petty's show with Stevie in 2006 also in Mansfield.Third time a upgrade for 3 row tick's at the CV tour in 2007 also in Mansfield MA.All for face value.

Webster Hall's capacity is 2,500, so the fan presale and today's FM radio pre-sale as well as tickets provided to industry/press/etc. are going to take a huge chunk out of what's available. What's left will sell-out in minutes.

Yes I have to agree .maybe in seconds.Hum .I thought It's capacity was 1,500.

capacity is only 1500

its all GA standing rooom only so all tix are the same

if all else fails let me know , i MIGHT be able to help

[UnwindedDreams]

just being curious, what are the chances of Stevie singing leather and lace with dave?

[WildHearted]

just being curious, what are the chances of Stevie singing leather and lace with dave?

Hopefully slim to none, imo.

I truly think this is a song she prefers to sing with Don. And besides, from what I've heard anyway, Dave has a very deep voice. It wouldn't fit the song at all considering that the male/female verses are exactly the same, and the harmony in the chorus is very close regardless of which person takes the higher part.

[UnwindedDreams]

i'm just trying to figure out what she'll play. how many songs and such. i don't think she'll do 20 and i figure she won't flood the show with new stuff. with dave being there i guess she'll do the stuff from in your dreams that features his vocals (cheaper than free and everybody loves you).

Ok thanks.ok at 9.50 not noon time as Ticketmaster as posted.

[delongpre]

Never got a code (aol user), missed the radio presale.....so are they going onsale today at 10 am or 12 noon?

[equeen102289]

So I am kind of freaking out. If Dani's dad bails, then there goes my roomie for a hotel for Webster. If Caitlin can't get tickets, then there goes my partner for hotel and the Today Show.

If this completely falls through, is there anyone still looking for someone to share a hotel with? Anyone wanna offer their home to a poor college kid? :laugh:

I'm serious.

I just gotta figure out if he'll help me with my flight-- I can do everything else. At latest, I'll hear tomorrow morning.

My bad... TM must have changed sales time just as they changed 'will-call' provision

tix now go on sale 12;00 noon, so start refreshing 11:50 and GOOD LUCK

I also just checked STUB HUB and they have about 30 tickets for sale at prices ranging from
$ 140 to $ 180 per tix, which IMO is not terribly bad , compared with what i have seen asked and paid for on other broker sites

If it were me and i had no luck w TM this noon time I would IMMEDIATELY gobble up what
I needed at STUB HUB , cause as we all know there are only 1500 tickets out there

Thanks.I will be on the side at 9.50 just incase for the 10am rush.also 11.50 as you just said.I"ve been checking Stub hub after you mentioned it last night.I will use for a backup .As I was playing with Stubhub .I saw some tix for the AC show .but no upgrades better then what I got.

[Eugene]

Tried several times to help others; came up empty this time. Sorry.

$140/per from Stubhub is very reasonable, all things considered.

[delongpre]

No tickets at 12:10 pm?

[Macfanforever]

i guess stubhub is next .i'm not getting through. at 12noon.

[Eugene]

No tickets at 12:10 pm?

It's very possible every ticket that was available for the masses was sold in the various presales.

[Macfanforever]

I'm in.LOL . through Stubhub. at $148.00.Thats if I dont get screwed.The tix will be delivered via Fedex.See you all at the show.I hope.LOL..........

[Amlyn]

The person who was going to take my extra ticket backed out because they couldn't secure enought tixs.

So, have one ticket to offer up, face value.

If you want it, please PM me.

[GoldDustOrphan]

I keep forgetting that Webster's total capacity is 2,500, but only 1,500 for concerts. I've only been there for parties that have utilized the entire space.

FYI: StubHub adds a surcharge of 10% of the entire purchase to the total, plus a $5 charge to download tickets or $12 for 2-day shipping.

As a began typing this there were 15 tickets in the $165 range available. A few minutes later, 5. In a matter of minutes, those were bought so I edited my post. There are about 100 tickets are in $180 - $240 range. There are many in the $300 - $600 range and someone is trying to get $1,200 a ticket; another seller, $1,500.

eBay still has a few reasonable Buy It Now listings.

There are only are only about 5 tickets in the $165 range left (there were 15 when I began typing. That's how fast they're going). Most are in the $180 - $220 range. There are many in the $300 - $600 range and someone is trying to get $1,200 a ticket.

eBay still has a few reasonable Buy It Now listings.

I just got mine just in {Nicks} of time LOL.The bill had about $30,00 surcharges.plus
$12.95 fedex charges.now lets see if i get them.Hahaha.I,ve never dealt with Stubhub before.
$179.00 now on Stubhub. probably that $1500 ticket will be the last ticket to go.Wow.he or she got high hopes.

[GoldDustOrphan]

StubHub is owned by eBay. The one benefit of StubHub is that it guarantees every purchase. LiveNation/Ticketmaster provides links to StubHub when they sell out (which is very suspicious and has many convinced LiveNation holds tickets to scalp at inflated prices to create demand).

Still, it's funny that general admission tickets are priced from 180 to 1,500, but it's the seller that sets the price.

Tickets for Adele's House of Blues/Boston show were $27 general admission tickets (and two dozen 3rd floor box seats for $45), but they're going for $350 to $2,000 on StubHub, eBay, etc. And they're selling.

I'm guessing that by next week, Webster Hall tickets will be at least $400 a ticket in the secondary market.

[delongpre]

I was turned off by the fees associated with stubhub and I don't like the scalper aspect of it. No matter which way you look at it, those were not people who bought tickets and then realized they could not go and then sold them. they are scalpers who bought in order to do what they are doing....make money.

So sad that this turned out this way. We really were psyched about seeing Stevie in such an intimate venue. If anyone has an extra ticket to sell at face please pm me. I would take one but would love two so I can take a friend with me.

Thank you and congrats to all who got tickets.

Okay. So let's plan the after party. I have some general ideas in mind. Tapas, sangria, some place where under 21's can get in. I know some places in the village that fit the bill, but if anyone is more familiar with the exact area around the venue, please chime in. I'm taping into mezzoforte's (Grace's) expertise as well for this.

EDIT:

EVERY PLACE I USED TO KNOW IS CLOSED.

ut oh...............party people in the house and i gotta work in the morning!!!! *screams* ok ok ok well at least i'll be crashing in BK so i won't have to worry about being late for work.

i need to get my bag packed now!

[mezzoforte]

We very definitely need to plan something, especially since Marissa won't be around for dinner on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty useless at finding places. Anyone more familiar with the neighborhood have suggestions?

I've never heard of Japas but it sounds like a kick. I'd definitely be down for some karaoke.
Or if you want Sangria, I think San Loco Mexico is pretty close..
Anyone else have ideas?

I'm up for going out that night. If I actually get there.

PROBLEM SOLVED. Dad has reluctantly agreed to buy me my ticket until I can pay him back (with interest...)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[equeen102289]

So Dani's dad said yes! :blob2:

Now we're just looking for a third person to room with us in the hotel. We plan on staying Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night. Anyone going alone and looking to cut down costs? Or just want some people to hang out with? I really want to go to the Today Show and it's coming down to having somewhere to stay that is affordable. If anyone is interested in staying with us, please PM me.

Marissa-- I really wish you didn't care about your future so much. :p

[HejiraNYC]

good question!!!!!!

The ticket says nothing about cameras or recording devices. So as far as I'm concerned, Stevie better be ready for her closeups. :)

In this day and age, everyone with the latest smart phone has an HD video camera. It is just impossible to prevent people from bringing these things into shows. And in a general admission setting, without seats and aisles, even if they did spot people taking pictures/video, how are they going to get to them without mowing down half the audience? I think Stevie should just embrace the videos, because they give her free, potentially virulent promotion on YouTube, and it also gives her an added incentive to step up her game. In this day and age, everything uploaded onto the internet becomes part of the permanent archive of the ether.

[Macfanforever]

Please, in the name of all that's Stevie - take your cameras, people! :laugh:

It's a small place .No need for flash bulbs. Please shut them off for Stevie's sake.

Hello everybody.

I've been a reader of this board for a while and I really like you all a lot.
As a massive Fleetwood Mac and Stevie fan, I just felt compelled to vent to somebody (anybody!) who would understand.

It was my 24th birthday last week and one of my friends generously, lovingly said she would buy us tickets to see Stevie at Webster Hall as my present.

At 12 noon when they went on sale, that very SECOND, as you know, there were no tickets. I was so disheartened. I've never seen Stevie or the Mac before and you can't imagine how much I was looking forward to this amazing concert.

I'm not sure if we were duped by ticketmaster or what (did they even have anymore tickets to sell?), but it's sad when such a massive fan like myself, who has never seen her, who could not afford the cost of the ticket ordinarily, somehow was charmed enough to have the show right by his birthday and have such a great friend-- and I can't go? I mean I can't buy tickets?

It's upsetting as hell. I really hope they'll have a few more left or something and I can figure out some way to get inside. Otherwise I'll be pacing New York City while Stevie sings.

UGGGHHHHH
Thanks for reading.
It's a pleasure to be here with all of you.

huh? was it an instant sell out or something

[Fiver]

Sorry to hear you couldn't get any tickets, nikniknik. I've yet to see FM or any member solo, live, either, so I know how excited you must've been at the prospect. Hope it somehow works out for you, but if not, atleast there is Stevie's (and possibly Lindsey's) upcoming solo tour to look forward too. I'm going to try to go to both if they come near enough to my town.

Also, you might be interested in entering this sweepstakes:

The friend coming with me is going to shoot what she can. We both have mini video cams (I have a Samsung SMX-F40 with 52x Optical Zoom; just under $200 cam. Not really highend), but I've never used it in such a setting. Any recommendations for specific mini HD cam that would be best suited for shooting an in-door show?

Apparently there were no tickets left when they went on sale to the general public at 12 noon. The code thing blocked out a lot of us, especially those of us who have (GASP!) aol, even thoug WB told us we would get the code and be able to buy. The radio presale blocked out most of us, and then ticketmaster, who could have said the show was sold out, didn't do that, but led us to believe we still had a chance at tickets.

I am disheartened that WB and the promotor would allow such an intimate show to end up being what seems to be primarily a scalpers show. What was the point of the fans presale if they limited tickets then?

I'm still looking for a way to get one ticket too. Hopefully something will come up.

The whole ticket selling business is so corrupt it sucks. Have you written WB regarding the AOL block? That was bullsh*t. I think everyone that happened to should write WB and tell them how displeased you are.

Well, here's the thing...the group I always went with to see show went all the time. After awhile we figured out which security guards would let us get away with it. In the first two years of her show we did sneak our cameras in through various methods. During the last year, security loosened up a little bit and stopped making people check their cameras. So we no longer had to sneak them in. But, they were still nazis about taking pics during the show. You just had to be quick and don't use a flash. The great thing about the flip cam is where we would sometimes sit, you could put it in the cup holder and angle it towards the stage and get some great videos depending on where she was on the stage. If nothing else we always got great audio. Here's an example http://youtu.be/LI4j8VGG7LE Not sure why the quality isn't hd.

See- this is why I love The Ledge- one learns the most off-the-wall yet useful things here, like using a cupholder to hold your flip camera!

During the encore at the last show another friend had a mini video camera, he put it on stage next to a prompter angled toward the other end of stage (we were in sec 6 next to the stage where it curved out) and no one knew. We were standing against the stage at that point so there was nothing security could do to get to it. I loved it.

[Macfanforever]

I remember at Stevie 's CV tour at the Borgata .The two nighter stay.on fridays show the security did not give a bloody dam about the cameras.I got great photos and videos that night and filled up a flashcard.on saturday nights show the security was in full force and told me and the rest of us"Please puts the cameras away".I can't blame Stevie on this about the flashbulbs were bothering her eyes.if that was the case.Again with a million flash tubes going off from every direction probably was the cause.The wording should say "No flash photography allowed" on the tickets.
At some other shows on the same tour I did see some people did lose their cameras . also at most cases the flash wont reach the stage.If the camera has a switch to kill the flash .turn tit off. which most of these digital cameras do.If the camera does not have a flash shutoff switch.just put electrical tape over the flashbulb section. I've done it before and the photos came out great.

Can someone please remind me again just WHY I can't go to this show? :shrug:

It's seriously butting a bullet through my heart. Here I am dramatic, again....

Because you live on the other side of the country and it's in the middle of the week.

You need to count your blessings - you just saw her at the Bowl and do I even need to remind you about the once in a lifetime experience on feb 19th?

(Do you feel better now?) ;)

[belladonnadream]

So I am kind of freaking out. If Dani's dad bails, then there goes my roomie for a hotel for Webster. If Caitlin can't get tickets, then there goes my partner for hotel and the Today Show.

If this completely falls through, is there anyone still looking for someone to share a hotel with? Anyone wanna offer their home to a poor college kid? :laugh:

I'm serious.

My sis lives right down the road I think about 4 min drive to her apartment...she maybe okay with me bringing someone else there with me,,but I'm only gonna be there for Wednesday night and leaving Thursday morning...if all else fails we won't leave ya stranded;)

[belladonnadream]

<3 <3



<3 <3

Okay. So let's plan the after party. I have some general ideas in mind. Tapas, sangria, some place where under 21's can get in. I know some places in the village that fit the bill, but if anyone is more familiar with the exact area around the venue, please chime in. I'm taping into mezzoforte's (Grace's) expertise as well for this.

EDIT:

EVERY PLACE I USED TO KNOW IS CLOSED. Let's ask Stevie where the hell she's going after the show! ;);) I mean come on..there's only 1500 of us....
On a serious note...I'd be down for it.

[belladonnadream]

ok........ well i'ma try to get off work a lil early. i know those in line r gonna be tired of sitting/standing there all day. i'd hold a spot so someone can have a bite.........that 's only fair. i'll even pick you guys up something too................

I'd Love that...I'll PM you...

why is it wb fault if aol decides to block emails? Arent they notorious for that? Isnt that why theyre called aohell?

Maybe most scalpers use AOL accounts?

[SuzeQuze]

As someone above said, when it doubt, hide it in your pants. Once inside, you can get a feel for security.

Word. I once put my camera at the bottom of a black purse under some chiffon. It just looked like the bottom of the purse when it was opened up. You can also put it in a small tampon box. I know these tips are not helpful to men hence the pants tip. ;)

[delongpre]

AOL didn't block the email. It wasn't sent to AOL users at all, even though AOL users DID receive the reply that they would get the code. So some of us who COULD have used another non-aol email address if we knew this was going to happen did not have the chance to do it.

Funny, if they think aol users are the scalpers, check out stubhub and the other tickets brokers and see just how much scalping they avoided by blocking aol users. I'm appalled. There seem to be more tickets for resale than are in the hands of true fans. And I won't pay a broker for a ticket...just my policy.

I have a big purse. I ripped a hole in the lining & always stuff my camera in there. Works like a charm. :nod:

I didn't get a code either! so there was def some shenanigans on WB's part.

[Macfanforever]

I just received the tickets from StubHub.As I see they were computer printed tickets and I hope I wont have any problems with the pages if the scan codes are not legit.Ok back to cameras .Lately. mine is going into my boots.On ticket brokers I used them as the last resort like this show.I dont like the inflated charges plus the sleigh ride I might get if the printout are fake.

[portiab44]

just got my webster hall tix in the mail! everyone that got them through the mail should be getting them soon! :) cant wait to go and meet some of yall!!:thumbsup:

[UnwindedDreams]

i ordered through will call since Ticketmaster listed will call as "mandatory."

[Macfanforever]

Yesterday I gave StubHub a call to check to see if these computer printout tickets are legit.I ones I got .came from a legit broker they said.All the years. I never dealt with computer printout tickets until now.As the tickets from TM are will call only.Hahaha If they are good.This means one less line to wait in.

P.S. Foot note .I guess most of the ticket went to the brokers.

[Eugene]

Regarding the camera paranoia-if you put a cheap disposable camera in your bag where security can see it, they'll usually take it and cease looking through the rest of your bag; just remember to hide your "real" camera at the bottom of your bag.

Stevie Inc. could have avoided the whole scalper issue by making all tickets will call. I was more than happy to pay the extra money to print out my tickets and avoid waiting in a will call line.

As for people that are still looking for tickets, I would plant my rear end in front of the computer on May 4th and pound Ticketbastard all day looking for a drop.

I agree. When I thought that they were going to have all will call i was thrilled. When they changed the plan, they opened the door to scalpers. I'm mad because they knew exactly that that was what they were doing. I've been checking ticketmaster every day and nothing yet. Still looking for a single ticket if anyone has one!

[HowStillMyLove]

I want to go to this so bad. But unfortunately, you have to be what 18? or 21 for this show? -__- That's my luck. My stupid sixteen year old luck. :mad:

But then my mom gave me a glimpse of hope. Her friend's husband owns Webster Hall. She asked her friends to talk to her husband about it. But they never got back to us on it. So i'm pretty sure I can't go. But I bought my tickets for May 6th, so it's not that far away.

And no one would take me to NYC @ 5:30 AM to see Stevie on the Today Show. Everyone is too lazy.

You guys are flying from everywhere for these shows, and we live 20 minutes from NYC. It's a legit 20 minute ride. Such a shame :mad::mad::mad:

I hope everyone enjoys it though :blob1:

Great idea. 1 more thing for those of you who have video capability on your digital cameras - there's usually a red light that comes on when you start to record, which is obviously not a good thing when you're trying to do this in secret. Cover it with a piece of black electrical tape. :)

[UnwindedDreams]

i wonder if she's setting aside a portion of the show where she plays a bunch of new songs with dave. i cannot see her playing 7 new songs like she did in 01. I'm thinking 15 songs, 3 of which are new (including secret love). what do you all think?

I hope she does do more new songs. It really does seem like this will be a 1 time deal & she might do 5 or 6. Hopefully Waddy's giving her a kick in the ass. :laugh:

I absolutely cannot believe that this is a week away.

I want at least 1/2 the new album played. That's my wish. I bet your ass Annabel Lee will be in the set.

[daniellaaarisen]

:lol:

I think we'll get "Secret Love," "Annabel Lee" and "Moonlight." The rest seems like fair game to me.

[Christopher]

I think we'll get "Secret Love," "Annabel Lee" and "Moonlight." The rest seems like fair game to me.

Plus Cheaper Than Free and/or Everybody Loves You since Mr. Dave Stewart will be in the house. The possibilities are killin' me. I'm with ontheEdgeof17 I'll be a little disappointed if she does not do at least 1/2 of IYD. But who knows with Stevie, it's always better to keep your expectations low, when it comes to her stage set-list:cool:

[StandbackStevie]

I wish everyone an amazing and magical time I couldn't go to the show I would have love to and could have if funds were there for me but they were not. So I will be there in Spirit and looking forward to hearing the amazing time everyone will have I will be listening to my copy of In Your Dreams at the precise time of the show so I will be there in spirit and will be looking forward to seeing Stevie in Concert hopefully she will be back in CT this summer if not hopefully will see her in NYC or Boston This summer. We are all here to send love and magic back to Stevie as she always does sends us her love and magic to us every time we see her grace of her presence in concert. I am so excited for this new cd and summer/fall tour. :wavey::thumbsup::woohoo::wavey:

Yeah. I should stay below the bar of my wish list, but the title "An Evening with Stevie Nicks" gives me hope, since the casino shows do not have that title. I want a very special show, dammit.

[StandbackStevie]

well Stevie Nicks played last Aug.28th at Foxwoods MGM Grand here in CT and it was an evening with Show she has also done an evening with in April 20, 2008 at Mohegan Sun Arena as well. I hope she does an evening with tour I think she will or she will get Dave Stewart to tour with. I am sure or it would not surprise me that Dave Stewart will be at the Webster with her on May 4th.

[wildheart048]

I just finally got tix for the show...is anyone planning on meeting anywhere before the show or anything?

She probably will stop back to CT when if she does a summer tour.I hope she dont stop at the Comcast in Hartford.Who knows. she might shock us by making a stop at the Oakdale here in Wallingford.It sits more then the Webster.Thats a good question if Dave will be with her on the later dates.I dont know about AC on friday.He probably open for her.We will see.

[StandbackStevie]

I agree with MacFan,
I hope she doesn't come to the comcast thearte in hartford definetly would rather see her perform at the Oakdale Thearte in Wallingford as well either there or the casinos are good with me I do love the casinos cause you can do things before the show and after the show there and they are the only places in CT that can accomadate the Stevie since we have no ritz cartltons the casinos are very close enough to that to accomadate our Stevie.

[SuzeQuze]

All of you that are going are going to have an amazing magical show with Stevie I will be there in spirit and a few of my friends are going can not wait to see pics and here awesome stories about this one in a lifetime event with Stevie.

[StevieRox81]

Ok, so I was ridiculously excited for this show BEFORE we heard the album...now that we've heard it, I think we better recommend they have paramedics on standby for everyone going to the show...haha:nod:

Seriously, I CANNOT WAIT to hear the new songs live! I'm having daydreams of seeing Stevie perform "Moonlight" live...AHHHH...I die. :o

My camera stinks to on audio too.the sound will be distorted.

My camera did me well for the Lindsey show. The audio is pretty good. Better than the Panasonic. My problem is finding a card larger enough. I'm also afraid cameras won't be allowed that night. I worry too much.

Yes my Nikon lacks sound quility big time .on the video mode.due to low bitrate.I use a 4gb card in the camera.the size seems enough for what I take in high res photos..maxed out my card a couple of times.And I also carry a backup too.Oh Cameras not allowed.In most cases probably not like most shows.Just make sure it desappears before going in.

[belladonnadream]

I think we'll get "Secret Love," "Annabel Lee" and "Moonlight." The rest seems like fair game to me. I think the same Dani...and just to hear Moonlight and Annabel Lee I would be one happy gypsy,, but I know she'll do Secret Love and think she might do Everybody Loves You

and Cheaper Than Free seeing as Dave's gonna be there:nod:

[SNicksed]

My camera had great video and audio at MSG last month. Wish I had taken more than a snippet of Young Turks. :mad:

I will have it with me Wednesday! :)

[Richard B]

This may have already been asked, but is this show being pro filmed?

[crystal baller]

They pro film most of the shows, question is will they share it?

[jkmaletic]

I hope you guys are all trying to learn the new lyrics so you can sing along with Stevie. She seems to love it when people know the lyrics to new songs.

she sure does! i remember the TISL tour at the pnc center in holmdel,nj, she forgot some of the lyrics to bombay sapphires and the audience was singing. she smiled, nodded as to say "thanks ya'll"! it was too funny!

[ontheEdgeof17]

Highly doubt it . The new songs won't be rehearsed enough to Stevie's liking, hence her not wanting anything released that is not perfect.

NO , Yea your right.It will be like "Screening Olnly" on the bottom of the screen.Or somebody taps into the CCTV line with a vcr .

[Macfanforever]

I was just on StubHub. for the hell of it.They got about 15 tickets left ranging from $195 to a whopping$5.000 dollars each .For $ 10.000 grand the seller has high hopes.for $10 grand I probably could travel the country to see Stevie's summer tour.

[equeen102289]

I hope she opens with "In Your Dreams" and continues with the rest of the cd! :woohoo:

I told Dave that they should just perform the album in its entirety. He said he would but the band wouldn't have enough time to rehearse. The excitement of hearing the whole album probably would have killed me anyway. It's for the best. :laugh:

[daniellaaarisen]

I've already started packing.... going shopping tomorrow because I have NO idea what I'm going to wear to the show! :lol: This is a huge dilemma.

How about going all out and wearing your Rhiannon outfit? Go for it!!

[equeen102289]

They pro film most of the shows, question is will they share it?

The only possibility I see of this being shared is through Dave's film about Stevie and this project. It's the first show where they're playing these songs live. If he takes the route that Destiny Rules did, bits of this show could end the doc.

[equeen102289]

Dave just tweeted me and said he is working on getting the show filmed! :)

This is going to be incredible you guys! I am so psyched!! :D

[daniellaaarisen]

How about going all out and wearing your Rhiannon outfit? Go for it!!

I definitely considered that... but only for when I'm waiting in line with all the other chiffonheads :lol: I'm go back to the hotel and shower, etc. before the show actually started and would then wear something a little less obsessive ;)

[fumidesigns]

i really want her to sing FWIW and GAG!!!! omg!

i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

daniella hit me when you get in. i'ma give you my number.

[daniellaaarisen]

[daniellaaarisen]

Okay, so I really really can't find anything to wear.... the Stevie outfit may be a last (although fabulous) resort. But I'd feel like such a douche, hahaha.

[Stephanie]

so what time are you lining up? I hate to waste the day on line, but then again, I don't want to be in the back of the room.

[daniellaaarisen]

I woke up yesterday morning feeling really sick. I'm still feeling sick today, so I'm going to go wait in the ER for a few hours so I can get some antibiotics.

I wish I was going even though I live in CT near the NYC couldn't do it and have to work too. Will catch her when she comes to CT this summer I hope we get a summer/fall tour. Enjoy the show. What to wear Chiffon,Platform Suede Boots,Shawl and a black top hat and those Stevie fingerless leather gloves with the metal fringe love those gloves I want a pair of those I think we all should get them and wear them to the show. I want to get a shawl or cloak to wear to her next show and platform boots.

[mezzoforte]

This will make waiting in line for 10 hours significantly less pleasant.

On the (still dim) bright side, there will probably be fewer people in line for the best seats?

[1sttimelongtime]

I'd imagine the people planning to get there early to wait in line care.

Hi all.I need an update.some of us have those e-tickets from from our computer or from StubHub or other brokers.we dont need to go to the willcall line.Also any more news on what time Stevie is going to be on the stage.also is there a opening guest before her.

[fumidesigns]

ok now the weather is saying partly cloudy on tuesday and rain on wednesday! this morning it was rain on both days! hopefully both days will be in the clear!!!

If you are still sick when you get to nyc, I am a doctor so I can help you with the needed meds.

and I still want to know what time people are seriously going to line up. For the biloxi standing room only show there were only like 10 people in line before 5:45.

I'm thinking 4 at the latest. But, I'm sure others will be there much earlier. I'm only 22 (will turn 23 on the day of the show), but I act like I'm 100. Standing is not my fav thing. Especially if it's gonna rain.

I know, especially when there are so many other things to do in the city standing in the line all day is not one of them. I assume we can take turns getting ready and going back to the hotel if someone holds our place? People were ok with that in Biloxi and it was fairly close to show time.

My hotel is like 2.5 miles away and not easy to get to from Webster, so I'm not sure where I'll go to change or where I'll store my stuff. But I will be changing at some point, so people better be okay with place holding in line! haha

[Stephanie]

Now that you mention it, I am not sure how close my hotel is either. Guess I need to figure that out!

I actually made a trip to webster hall today to scope out the area .. webster hall entrance is on a main street w wide sidewalk so room for a line ... the guys there who work webster hall knew stevie was coming and that it was sold out and said ' no problem.. show up 7:00PM"

the place only holds 1500 peeps and several hundred are upstairs in the VIP area reserved for who knows who

the area in general is OK but no great shakes.. if i were gonna spend a lot of time there i would bring a disposable folding chair ( i'm 62 yo so maybe that enters into the picture)

no real restaurants of any sort nearby, so if u plan to come early be prepared

[camchristo]

As far as place holding. I don't think it would be a problem if two or three people are in line together and take turns getting something to eat/drink, etc. What I would foresee being a problem would be if one person got in line really early and then a whole group of people, who were not in line all, day show and try to get in line with that one person who was there super early. I know I'd be upset if I waited in line for hours and then a group of people who hadn't been around all day showed up and tried to get in line in front of me.

That being said, I would imagine getting in line around 5:00 would be sufficient.

If you are still sick when you get to nyc, I am a doctor so I can help you with the needed meds.

I got some antibiotics earlier today so I should be okay, but I'll definitely keep that in mind. :thumbsup: ANYTHING that helps would be greatly appreciated-- I literally can't breathe.

[daniellaaarisen]

Gee, thanks :( I finally mustered up the courage to wear my handkerchief skirt and suede platform boots but now I'm having second thoughts. I dont want to look like a douche:distress:

You don't understand-- this isn't just a Stevie inspired thing. It's a flat out Stevie outfit from head to toe. I'm probably going to wear it anyway, and I say you wear your stuff as well!

I was planning on getting to the venue around 9AM but after reading these posts, I'm thinking I'm going to get there around noon. Still a little obsessive, I know, but I'm not flying across the country to be anywhere but at Stevie's feet. Seriously, I want he best spot in the house.

That being said.... if anyone other than Amber (my roommate for the trip) tries to cut with me after those long hours of waiting, they will be shut down :D. Just a warning.

Front row is the worst spot for a venue like this. The acoustics will be awful. You won't be able to hear her correctly, and all the pushing and shoving you will be getting. For GA, I usually go to the balcony. The sound is better, the people are nicer, and you actually get to enjoy the show and not be in the mess of the mob.

With that said, I want to be up front, too. :lol:

:laugh: I know the acoustics will suck, but I'll be 5 feet from Stevie Nicks, damnit! It just won't be the same unless I'm right there in front. I'm totally adamant about this-- you all better be prepared to deal with my wrath if this doesn't work out for some reason ;)

Kidding.

Mostly.

I'm anticipating people being aggressive. But if I have to get pushed and shoved, I'm getting thrown into Nicks herself.

Dani-- I remember a few people saying they were going to get there at 10 a.m.
We might have to go there then, just in case.

Alright, 9 it is. We can take turns-- I'll get there at 9 if you come around 2 or 3 so I can shower etc.

I fly out tomorrow morning! SO EXCITED!

[delongpre]

I know the hall is supposed to hold 1500 at the most, but I would guess that less than 1000 tickets were given out, to allow for special guests as well as allow for room to film if that is a concern!
Anybody have any info on actual numbers of tickets sold and/ given out?

PS...hoping to get there around 5. I'm old and short and can't deal with being pushed!

I'll just go down with you. I'll be too excited to just sit in that hotel room. We'll work out the times to get ready later.

I'm pretty sure I'm wearing my black hankerchief chiffon skirt and Black platform boots and will wear my purple beret...I have a bad foot though and was in an accident years ago where I broke my foot..so this standing might be insane on my foot:(((((..might have to bring some extra shoes or take the boots off half way thru and dance like a gypsy!!!*♥

[daniellaaarisen]

I'm about to leave for the airport!!! New York City, here I come!

[Buddy]

Safe travels and have FUN! Celebrate Stevie and NYC. Don't forget the rest of us will be waiting for DETAILS!

[Jondalar]

Safe travel. I'm sooo jealous.

[Amlyn]

I'm about to leave for the airport!!! New York City, here I come!

Have a safe fight! I'm actually here on your coast (obviously my body doesn't think that or I wouldn't be up at 5 am.) Coming home tomorrow. Hope to see you on Wed as I'll probably head into the city pretty early in the day!

[StevieRox81]

I cannot believe this show is only a couple of days away! Sooo excited:]! I'm still trying to decide what time my friend and I should leave CT for NYC. I was thinking about getting into the city for 11 a.m. and then we would scope out the webster to see what the line looks like...

But then the other part of me is saying we should just take the earliest train out of New Haven to NYC and get in as early as possible....but I'm thinking people aren't really going to be lining up that early...but I don't want to regret not getting into the city earlier when I could have..

Gahhh!!! What time is everyone else thinking about getting there? I'm definitely up for another psychotically long (and surprisingly very fun) wait for Stevie like I did for the Barnes & Noble signing (13 hours of waiting!!! :) ) ...but don't know if it's really necessary to be up front for this?

[KenshiMaster16]

I'm praying someone boots this just in case she does some numbers we won't necessarily hear on the summer tour.....*fingers crossed*

[johnb84]

Has anyone heard about seats? I remember it being general admission, but then some guy somewhere said he had a row and seat number. Which is it?

[fumidesigns]

It's GA. All GA tickets show numbers/seats to keep track of how many they sell.

Dave says they are filming the show!!!:]

Oh good lawd. :eek: Guess that pretty much guarantees I will be avoiding the front of the stage like the plague. :eek:

Man, Dave is filming everything. He's like the mad-character in her video.

I seriously hate being the bearer of bad news, but everyone planning to attend the Webster Hall show, should read the press release I just posted: http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=46953

Sadly, Stevie has had to cancel.

[Gypsybecca]

Johnny Stew, thanks for the info. I hope and pray that Stevie gets well soon. It must be really serious for her to cancel.

[LineInTheSand]

I am so sorry to all the fans who were traveling. This is awful news.

[DefDumbandBlond]

Hope she gets better soon :xoxo: that's the most important thing.

[caterwench]

Thanks Johnny Stew.keep an eye on those press releases for update for the AC show and the other shows.Thanks.

[UnwindedDreams]

i'm guessing this show won't be rescheduled since TicketMaster is refunding.

[Macfanforever]

No, if they do,they will do it from scratch.and like I said to only diehard fans like us.This time I will be more alart when I get the email.
