I want to cry...just got an e-mail for a new pre-sale opportunity...looks like they are "rescheduling" the Webster show with a new show celebrating Stevie's B-Day in LA...so bummed I don't live on the West coast :(

[skimmy]

Still heartbroken over the Webster Hall show... and I just received this email from Warner Bros:

Almost makes me cry!

[skimmy]

We posted at the same time... and I said the same thing... makes me want to cry! Spent a fortune going to NYC (although it was a great trip) for a once-in-a-lifetime show... it kinda made me sad to get this email! :(

[Heartboy]

There's three threads of this subject, where's the merge police? :lol:

Exactly my feelings in the thread I just posted...I'm sorry, but I'm seriously bummed out still and this is NOT making anything any easier. What about the East Coast Stevie? I feel like this confirms that nothing will be rescheduled now :(

[Buddy]

I just got the same email. Is this legit?

[StevieRox81]

There's three threads of this subject, where's the merge police? :lol:

I'm sure they'll come on the scene soon :)...

[fumidesigns]

seriously.........................now i'm pissed!!!!!!!
:mad:

[mezzoforte]

NOT OKAY!!!!!

WHYYYYY can't her show be on the east coast? FRAMMIT.
(Yeah, I'll try to be happy for the west coasters, but I'm still bitter about Webster)

Depending on when it is (not sure whether it's her actual birthday?) I might try to go, but the chances are slim...

[Tango]

I just got the same email. Is this legit?

yes--it's from WarnerBrothers.

[Amlyn]

I feel totally shafted! This is just so unfair to everyone who was going to Webster.

[fumidesigns]

i got the same damn email! *sucksteethextrahard* I CAN NOT GO TO LA RIGHT NOW!

[Josh2003]

I feel totally shafted! This is just so unfair to everyone who was going to Webster.

Well one could argue that the entire Webster Hall show was unfair for West Coast fans.

Good for Stevie, and good for the fans on the West Coast who never would have been able to make the Webster Hall gig, even if it had gone on as scheduled.

I understand your point but we were locked, loaded and ready to go and had the rug pulled out from us at the last minute. Had Webster never come into play to begin with, yes, we'd all be jealous of the west coasters, but much less so.

[fumidesigns]

I feel totally shafted! This is just so unfair to everyone who was going to Webster.

YES IT IS AND I'M PISSED!! !!!!!!!! like r u kidding me?! LA?! like i can really travel right now! urgh! c'mon stevie! i just tweeted her to come back to webster hall! this is sooooooooooooo damn un-fukin-fair!

[fumidesigns]

I understand your point but we were locked, loaded and ready to go and had the rug pulled out from us at the last minute. Had Webster never come into play to begin with, yes, we'd all be jealous of the west coasters, but much less so.

exactly! i'm so hurt! like i can really hop on a plan and fly to la in 2 weeks! i gotta lot of things to do here! SO. NOT. FAIR.

[Amlyn]

i got the same damn email! *sucksteethextrahard* I CAN NOT GO TO LA RIGHT NOW!

I was JUST there!!! Why can't her birthday be on a Saturday. I totally would have flown out AGAIN for one night. BUt I can't do it on a Thurs night. ERRRRR....

[SuzeQuze]

I understand your point but we were locked, loaded and ready to go and had the rug pulled out from us at the last minute. Had Webster never come into play to begin with, yes, we'd all be jealous of the west coasters, but much less so.

Yeah I lost $300 on it but I know others lost a lot more. It makes it kind of hard to justify a trip to CA. Although the Stevie freak in me really wants to just go. I've never been to LA, what an excuse!

[WildHearted]

Wish I lived on the West Coast and/or had the means and time to fly out there. Stupid school.

[Amlyn]

Yeah I lost $300 on it but I know others lost a lot more. It makes it kind of hard to justify a trip to CA. Although the Stevie freak in me really wants to just go. I've never been to LA, what an excuse!

I was literally just there, less than a week ago. I love it there and would move there if it was in the cards now. But, it's on a Thurs night. I can't swing ANOTHER 2 days off of work this month. Had it been next month maybe. Ugh...oh well.

If you can go, do it. I'll have to live vicarously for this one.

[Josh2003]

Don't get me wrong, I do feel awful for everyone who had tickets for Webster...I really, really do.

But the first reaction I'm seeing out of a lot of people (and I'm not singling you out, because I don't think you have) responding with anger that there is a show scheduled for the West Coast, and I don't think that's fair to the fans who are never able to make it to the East, which tends to get favored in the touring department. Or for people to say that it's not fair that she's doing a show in LA...that's silly.

Hell, I live in Ohio. Talk about being in the center of disappointmentville.

[fumidesigns]

Y THE HELL CAN'T SHE JUST HAVE A DAMN BDAY PARTY AT HER HOUSE W/ SOME DAMN BALLOONS LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE!? Y SHE GOTTA BE ALL EXTRA AND DO A SHOW?! Y CAN'T SHE JUST HAVE KAREN'S ASS GO TO CARVEL AND GET A DAMN ICE CREAM CAKE, EAT IT AND GO TO DAMN BED!? Y SHE GOTTA BE ALL EXTRA LOVING TO HER FANS ON THE WEST COAST!? DAMN THIS WOMAN SOMETIMES I SWEAR! :mad:


i am, however, thrilled that she's feeling better. praise God for that! :angel:

[fumidesigns]

i've never been to LA either so it's an excellent double excuse but.........

WHY SHE GOTTA BE ALL FANCY AND DO A SHOW ON HER DAMN BDAY?! Y CAN'T SHE JUST TELL HER FRIENDS TO DROP BY THE HOUSE, DO A POTLUCK, GET SOME CUPCAKES, CHIT CHAT AND THEN GO TO BED!? Y IS IT NECESSARY FOR HER TO GRACE A STAGE, AT AN INTIMATE VENUE, WITHOUT ME THERE AND SING ALL THE DAMN SONGS THAT I WANTED TO HEAR AT WEBSTER HALL?!

[fumidesigns]

oh hush! lmao! yeah i said it! i'm disgusted right now lol! i wanna damn go and i truly can't!!!! *throws stapler across the room*

[SapphireSister]

I knew this was going to happen. I'm in LA but will be in The Bahamas that whole week. *CRUSHED*

I know your point wasn't personal. It's just that this just seems like salt in the wounds for those of us that were going to Webster and here, less than a week after it was canceled, she reschedules the outing but 3000 miles away. Just hard to swallow at first thought. That's all I'm trying to say. And for me personally, I was just in LA, so it bothers me even more cause there's really no way for me to swing going back there in 2 weeks.

I'm ecstatic for those on the west coast who can go and those who can travel to go. I'm just dissapointed for myself. Especially since we have heard NADA about any other tour dates this year except for the 3 already scheduled on the west coast next week.

Anyway, hopefully in few mos from now we will all have a few Stevie shows this year under our belts.

[Josh2003]

oh hush! lmao! yeah i said it! i'm disgusted right now lol! i wanna damn go and i truly can't!!!! *throws stapler across the room*

Ha...well I wanted to damn go to Webster Hall, and I truly couldn't, just as I would love to damn go to an LA birthday show, but truly can't.

*throws more Oreos in my mouth*

[Amlyn]

exactly! i'm so hurt! like i can really hop on a plan and fly to la in 2 weeks! i gotta lot of things to do here! SO. NOT. FAIR.

Perhaps that would be the perfect night for our next NYC area Ledgie outing. We are learning how to drown our sorrows well and can continue the practice.

[daniellaaarisen]

I'm $1000 in debt right now.

LA is a 2 hour plane ride for me at around $200. The ticket, if at all like Webster, will be around $100. My best friend lives there so I won't have to pay for anything else.

Only 300 ****ing dollars and I'm sure I can't go because I owe my dad.

I hate everything. Seriously, I hate EVERYTHING. I just flew across the country to see this performance and look what happens.

[fumidesigns]

I knew this was going to happen. I'm in LA but will be in The Bahamas that whole week. *CRUSHED*

oh so now you're just rubbin in vacations huh?! :lol:

have fun! i wanna go back to the islands soooooooooooooo bad!

[skimmy]

For me, it's not about being "jealous of west coasters" or feeling anger towards those who have the opportunity to go ... I live in Indiana, spent close to $2000 for the Webster Hall show... A once in a lifetime thing... I have been a Stevie fan for 30 years, and just knew this show would be everything we had waited for... it was crushing to have it canceled (I know she couldn't help being ill) BUT! If I am truthful, the birthday show is kind of like rubbing salt in an open wound... I know Stevie doesn't owe me (or anyone else for that matter) anything... her words and music are gift enough... but this is... I don't know... it has just kind of deflated me when I read the email. I want to be happy about it for all of those able to attend... but selfishly, even though I had a GREAT time in New York City, I feel a bit let down.

[fumidesigns]

Ha...well I wanted to damn go to Webster Hall, and I truly couldn't, just as I would love to damn go to an LA birthday show, but truly can't.

Can you drive to it? Take friends, share the cost?

[DefDumbandBlond]

Good for Stevie, and good for the fans on the West Coast who never would have been able to make the Webster Hall gig, even if it had gone on as scheduled.

Very true, not everyone is able to travel from coast to coast so easily. I'm sure this event would be happening whether Webster was cancelled or not, and I really don't think it's to make up it at all. I'm not disagreeing that Webster being cancelled was like a kick in the stomach to those who were going, I would have been upset at the time too but I wouldn't go as far to say that it's unfair for this event to happen because of a previous show being cancelled. :shrug:

[StevieRox81]

If the show at The Webster had never been scheduled, the fact that she is doing this new show would not have bothered me at all. Stevie is only human and I am not upset with her at all for BEING human and getting sick at an unfortunate time that caused The Webster and The Borgata shows to be cancelled.

What I am upset about is the timing of this new show with the recent cancellation of The Webster. I understand scheduling wise it probably works best for Stevie to do something on the West coast this month. But this is not what you do after you release a press statement that you, "hope to reschedule," and then reschedule The Webster show "in disguise" now as Stevie's birthday party across the country.

I feel completely burned as a fan by her management. :mad:

[fumidesigns]

Perhaps that would be the perfect night for our next NYC area Ledgie outing. We are learning how to drown our sorrows well and can continue the practice.

i'm so down! urgh! let's drink our tears away! lmaooooooooo

we got 'robbed', happy for the west coasters but was really looking forward to NYC, now I may just have to go back to LA, was just there for the Bowl show...oy vey!

Where are you getting that this is the Webster show "in disguise"? I think it's entirely possible that this show could have been planned all along, to coincide with the East Coast Webster show. Makes sense to me...have a fan gathering on the east, then a few weeks later, have one on the west.

[mezzoforte]

i'm so down! urgh! let's drink our tears away! lmaooooooooo

I'm down:wavey:

If the theme of last week's get-together was giddy, sloppy dancing, the next one might be uncontrollable sobbing and rage blackouts. But I think I might need that.:(

[Amlyn]

we got 'robbed', happy for the west coasters but was really looking forward to NYC, now I may just have to go back to LA, was just there for the Bowl show...oy vey!

I know! I was just there too and flew back the night before Webster. Oh well.

How much is it to charter a jet coast to coast?

[louielouie2000]

Anybody else have a sneaking suspicion this show is going to be filmed (at least partially) for Stevie's documentary on the making of IYD? That's the main reason I can see her rescheduling something like this. She's never really thrown us fans a bone like this before (an intimate setting, her star friends stopping in to sing/play with her, etc)... why start now? :shrug:

[Amlyn]

Putting it on the calendar. Get the word out.

[HejiraNYC]

Just talked to my dad. No way in hell I'm going.

Oh, great time to teach fiscal responsibility, Dad. :rolleyes: Your mother would surely want you to visit, wouldn't she? Can't she chip in a couple hundy? Do we need to get a collection plate together for you?

[SuzeQuze]

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have picked on you. You every right to be mad!

This is true as does everyone else who is hurt/angry about this show being out of reach after getting let down by the NYC show. It's a completely natural response! Please be easy on the wounded. At least give us time to sleep on it before we can be happy for those who CAN go. ;)

I live in the bay area, not LA, but it's still close enough to make this really, REALLY disappointing. My best friend has a place down there so all I'd have to buy is a ****ing plane ticket and concert ticket. So what, $300 at the end of the day? How infuriating after going all the way to New York for this...

I've never cried over something Stevie related but I am now. God damnit Stephanie.

Well, I'm sure plenty of (silent) West Coast Ledgies are ROFL and giddy with schadenfreude now that Mama is finally showing them some love while totally bypassing the northeast. I mean, I'm bummed out that Webster Hall can't be rescheduled, but I'm happy that she is still up for doing something special for the fans. Let's try to be happy for them, even if it kills us. :eek:

[delongpre]

I disagree. They wouldn;t have 2 of the same kind of show. I think this is the new Webster intimate venue show that was planned for NY and is now being planned for LA. I would wager that Webster will never happen, especially now that this LA show is in the works. I had tickets for Webster and was looking forward to something special. I used to live in LA and there are intimate shows that pop up all of the time. Having something like Webster in NY was going to be a real one in a lifetime situation.

Um, when was the last time she did an intimate show in LA? Like, um... 17 years ago? :shrug: And it's not like there aren't all kinds of special things that happen in NY such as the B&N signing... I think we have it much better here overall. :nod:

[daniellaaarisen]

I'm not giving up hope yet. I have stuff I can sell, just probably not in time for this show.

The thing is (logically speaking) if she were going to make up for the Webster Hall show which would have taken place on the east coast, why would she make up for it on the opposite coast? That's why I think it was already planned in advance, because it really wouldn't make sense at all to do it that way. I would imagine she realizes it's not possible for everyone to coast hop for events like these.

Girl I hear ya! Super happy for the fans that get to go but super pissed that the press releases did say hope to reschedule. Refunds are great but reschedules are better. I guess we have good ole useless money hungry Liz to thank for this one. Thanks Liz and the rest of the management for not having the 2 east coast shows rescheduled!

[equeen102289]

So who wants to start the donation fund for Dani and I to go?

I'm sick right now. :distress:

[jkmaletic]

Wow- just wow.

I felt REALLY bad for you guys that had arrangements/tickets to Webster Hall. Living on the West Coast, however, it was impossible for me to go. It's also why I missed the Barnes and Noble DVD signing. She never did one of those out here. It is possible that she will still reschedule the Webster Hall show though- it's not like her show schedule is all booked up. :shrug: I'd say there is still hope for Webster Hall.

As for me, this email about the birthday show took me by total surprise! I live about 2 1/2 hours away, so I would need some time off work. I wish it wasn't on a thursday night. I'm going to see if I can make it happen though.

We talked about this on the phone.... it's super far for you which makes it unlikely that you can go simply because it's more money, but for me, IT'S 2 HOURS. And I STILL can't go.

STEPHANIE I'M GOING TO SHOOT YOU

Webster Hall was planned first and tickets were on-sale and sold before they ever had a LA plan. I asked about LA in mid-April because I was on the guest list for Webster. I was told that LA "might" happen if they could find a date that worked with all the press and TV appearances in May. I found out about the LA booking over the weekend. The show is May 26...

[mezzoforte]

Did it say anywhere that it's on the 26th, or are we just guessing? Wasn't Miley's "sweet 16 birthday bash" (or whatever it was called) like 3 months away from the actual day?

I'm desperately hoping it's actually the 28th. I just can't miss work and school to be there on a Thursday *sigh*

Webster Hall was planned first and tickets were on-sale and sold before they ever had a LA plan. I asked about LA in mid-April because I was on the guest list for Webster. I was told that LA "might" happen if they could find a date that worked with all the press and TV appearances in May. I found out about the LA booking over the weekend. The show is May 26...

Thank you for the info! And my apologies in advance for the people here who will inevitably accuse you of lying and/or withholding information.

[Rhiannon5354]

I'm sort of surprised that it is finally happening, but I had heard since before Webster was officially announced that there were going to be these gigs in both NYC and in LA. I don't think she's just throwing something together, I think it has been planned for quite some time, but just like Webster, they waited until just weeks before the show to announce it.

It would at least be nice for them to honor some of the tickets from Webster though, just incase she doesn't reschedule it.

[Christopher]

For me, it's not about being "jealous of west coasters" or feeling anger towards those who have the opportunity to go ... I live in Indiana, spent close to $2000 for the Webster Hall show... A once in a lifetime thing... I have been a Stevie fan for 30 years, and just knew this show would be everything we had waited for... it was crushing to have it canceled (I know she couldn't help being ill) BUT! If I am truthful, the birthday show is kind of like rubbing salt in an open wound... I know Stevie doesn't owe me (or anyone else for that matter) anything... her words and music are gift enough... but this is... I don't know... it has just kind of deflated me when I read the email. I want to be happy about it for all of those able to attend... but selfishly, even though I had a GREAT time in New York City, I feel a bit let down.

I know exactly how you feel :nod: Being also a devout fan for over 30 years having just spent a good amount of $ for the NY show. This feels Sh**ty :sorry:
Last night I just tallied up all my travel receipts towards the NYC Webster Hall gig (including airfare, hotel, meals, etc.) and it totaled @$25oo.00 for a "special event" that was cancelled just as I was touching down in LaGuardia Airport by way of Denver, Colorado.:distress:
If I hadn't just blown that much cash, I would sooooooo be at this LA "intimate Bday performance". So this is nothing against West Coast vs East Coast. I feel the most for those of us who traveled from states outside NY - this is like rubbing salt in an open wound.:(

But Hurrah for those lucky enough to attend, because I am seriously & bitterly jealous :cool:

[equeen102289]

We talked about this on the phone.... it's super far for you which makes it unlikely that you can go simply because it's more money, but for me, IT'S 2 HOURS. And I STILL can't go.

STEPHANIE I'M GOING TO SHOOT YOU

A plane ticket is almost 400. I have a friend in LA who I could probably stay with. But because of NYC I have NO money to go. I hate everything right now.

r u going? y do i feel like you're going? you're going aren't you?

I can totally tell that he's going hahaha

[Macfanforever]

Wow.I wonder if this is the replacement show for the Webster Hall..I think I will get unglued if this is.And probably film it.since it in LA.I would love to go to LA.I never been to Cali before.I probably have no problem for taking time off also money I will have for the trip.Stevie got to Atlantic City which I never been to before she draw me to go to Atlantic City.I love going there now.I have to agree on the bitterness,and the loss of hard earned money that you guys loss last week.Luckly I'm a last minute charlie on booking hotels and stuff.did not leave early too travel to the venues.I do respect Stevie with her Illness.I hope she gets better quickly for these up coming shows this week.And I have to say have fun at the birthday bash and till Stevie I said hi.

[CADreaming]

Y THE HELL CAN'T SHE JUST HAVE A DAMN BDAY PARTY AT HER HOUSE W/ SOME DAMN BALLOONS LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE!? Y SHE GOTTA BE ALL EXTRA AND DO A SHOW?! Y CAN'T SHE JUST HAVE KAREN'S ASS GO TO CARVEL AND GET A DAMN ICE CREAM CAKE, EAT IT AND GO TO DAMN BED!? Y SHE GOTTA BE ALL EXTRA LOVING TO HER FANS ON THE WEST COAST!? DAMN THIS WOMAN SOMETIMES I SWEAR! :mad:


i am, however, thrilled that she's feeling better. praise God for that! :angel:

:laugh::laugh::laugh: Carvel!!!!! Hystercial! (and I'm sorry...:( )


Anybody else have a sneaking suspicion this show is going to be filmed (at least partially) for Stevie's documentary on the making of IYD? That's the main reason I can see her rescheduling something like this. She's never really thrown us fans a bone like this before (an intimate setting, her star friends stopping in to sing/play with her, etc)... why start now? :shrug:

That's what I think too - they must have been furiously looking for a date that would work for the special guests - Dave, Sheryl, etc...

[equeen102289]

You spent it all on booze, that's why! :lol: :eek:

I have an exam tomorrow that I'm totally unprepared for (if any experts want to brief me on contemporary Native American art, that'd be great), and I'm too depressed to study. I'm drinking a glass of red alone in my room, listening to my most melancholy Fleetwood Mac songs.
It's a great picture, really.

ETA: I do realize that people who traveled for Webster have it way worse than I do. I'm just being pissy.

[BTFLCHLD]

awesomeness. two may shows for me.<br><br><br>

[delongpre]

Whether or not this is a true replacement for Webster, anything that might be done in NY later will be anti-climatic since the real first semi-intimate show is in LA. Especially if there are special guests that come, which is likely since most of these musicians live on the west coast. The Wiltern is not an intimate venue to me, at least not on the same lines as something like Webster which really has a club feel to it.

I wonder if aol users will be allowed to get a code this time. Otherwise, beware and use another email address to receive the code!

To those going to the birthday bash, have a great time!

[Christopher]

FRAK.

*sigh* better to let it go now, I guess.
(But of course I'll keep debating whether it would be worth it to miss the end of the concert and take a red eye, etc.)

not to try and encourage you but... you can take a red eye w/o missing the end of the show, especially if you can set up some type of ride back to the airport. i've done it for lindsey, and his show was probably longer (19 songs) that hers will be (and we were hanging around after the show).

[mikephxaz]

Of course Stevie will be scheduling a New York show...she wouldn't do that to her fans....I can be in LA in 45 minutes so I'm outta here suckrs!!!!!!:blob1:

No. You're hitchhiking your way to Austin, where we'll pull a Thelma & Louise style crime spree across the southwest on our way to the Wiltern Show. :D

Sounds good to me or we can buckled down and make this LA trip work and meet up again, drinking the night away, celebrating Stephanie Nicks 63rd BDAY Dammit!:D Louie, your just gonna have to learn to share.

I can't even watch that part of the video. :laugh:

I'm trying one last thing to possibly make this LA trip happen. It's doubtful but worth a shot.

I hope my best friend loves me. :laugh:

[BTFLCHLD]

oh word? u rubbin it in?! :rolleyes: hardly. feel for you guys as ive had shows cancelled as well with out of state travel, etcetera. having said that, IMO it would be a little sad though should this thread of celebration turn to crap for an extended period of time.

again, sorry shows cancelled. but happy birthday stevie. so very glad you are feeling better, hopeful for your FULL recovery and thankful seems speedy. :angel:

[jkmaletic]

I hope they let us know tomorrow. Also, the Wiltern seems to sell their tickets through Ticketmaster, but via Live Nation. It's kinda weird how you pick out your seats/section through Livenation. It's a little different than just through ticketmaster. Might want to look it over if you're unfamiliar with it like me.

I had no idea it is going to be The Wiltern, that's cool. I've been to several shows there, and it was always a combo of reserved seats and then GA for the floor area (in front of stage).

[SapphireSister]

I'm so going! I don't leave for The Bahamas till the following day woo hoo!

Jamie I'm guessing seats. I can say, based on Wiltern experience, if the idea is to be in the area of AAA-EEE , secure those seats. The Wiltern does not allow access to that area from any row that follows.

[daniellaaarisen]

Crazed Stevie fans would all murder each other trying to get near her if this happened. It'd be ugly.

That's what Webster was going to be... 100% general admission.

I don't think I'd go unless I had a seat in the first 5 rows OR it was general admission. Because of it's general admission, I can guarantee myself a front row spot by getting there at the crack of dawn.

I want to find out soon...

So warm (blush)!
I used to work in a design studio at The Wiltern building. I have seen crazy lines 2-3 days before a show. A few that come to mind are Franz Ferdinand and Morrissey.

It's raining where I am in in LA. Smells so good.

[Crystal_Elle]

UGH!!! I literally just landed from Chicago, finally getting home from the failed NYC trip and got the text message about this show! I'm so torn. I want to go, but I haven't even recovered from all the money I lost on the hotel and stuff from the webster show. I'm such a sucker for cool shows though. What's a little more debt? lol Oh Stevie, why do you torture us?

Edit: Apparently I should have checked airfare prices before I typed. Holy crap have they gone up since I last priced bna-lax!!!!!! Well, looks like I'm out. If only I hadn't lost all that money on the webster show, maybe I could afford this. Yes, I'm still bitter. It's only been a week. :(

[HejiraNYC]

Child, please. Like you had to ask. ;) Well, I gotta get tickets first...

I highly doubt he'd be there to perform with her on that night. Although it is her birthday and they have made peace and...

[tothegypsy]

Is there anyone with connections who could find out if Webster Hall is being rescheduled, before I buy a ticket for LA? I'm sure the birthday show will be amazing, but I really only need to see one special show...and I'll really be kicking myself if I fly to California, only to find out that NYC is back on.

[Macfanforever]

I hope the ticket operations are a little more organized then the Webster Hall show.

nothing worked with the passwords with some people.

[thepoetinmyhear]

Just read through this whole thread - I was on the LA-ers who just couldn't make Webster Hall work financially and in the middle of the week so I got tickets to Indio on Friday instead. I really hope NY people get something since it seems all the east coast shows were rescheduled but I'm incredibly excited about the Wiltern. Maybe if they do General Admission we can set up some sort of line waiting schedule (then we can begin two days early no problem).

[Gypsybecca]

How anticlimactic for those of us who were to be at the Webster Hall show...I will be surprised if she does this and does not reschedule something for NYC.

And I hope like hell we don't see these tix on ebay for 5 times their face value.

[sparky]

I have miles to go before I sleep. A shot list, prop list, blah blah blah for a very important shoot this weekend.

However, I want to take this special moment to tell a little story that is very apropos
for this Webster Hall cancellation/LA intimate show replacement hoo ha.

For all long term ledgies that may have heard it before (Jake, Niki, Suze, Livia, Jannie, David, et. al, you know who you are), I apologize for repeating it.

Picture it : 1982. Baby Sparky. 16 years old. Buys tickets over the phone to an October show in Oakland on the very limited Mirage tour. It is the closest town they are coming to Baby Sparky's home town of Portland Oregon. Plane tickets bought. THROUGH TRAVEL AGENT. Cause that's how we rolled in 1982. Baby Sparky is going to concert with Stevie Nicks lookalike girlfriend, complete with top hat, roses in her hair, and staying with said girlfriend's father in Oakland. I think the date was 10/3/82. First time on a plane!

Keep in mind, B Sparky is working almost full time in a nursing home doing laundry (don't even think about it, the reality is worse than the visual) and mopping floors and going to High School and acting in plays and being a track runner and all that. This is how Sparky saved all the money for this trip. About 500-600 bucks if memory serves. Would likely be much more money today.

So, lookalike GF and B Sparky arrive in Oakland. Dad and Stepmom are welcoming, have a fab home on the hill in the good part of Oakland. Yes there is a good part of Oakland. There was in 1982 anyway. They take us to lunch.

We listen to the radio on the way home from lunch and we hear it: Tonight's Fleetwood Mac concert is cancelled due to the illness of Stevie Nicks.

WTF?

We were furious and hysterical. The weekend was not to be recovered.
Tears and consternation and gnashing of teeth ensued.

Once we got home, I literally ripped up the Stevie pictures that lined my locker.
I still wish I had those. The Glamour magazine shot I had stolen from the library! Concert photos I had bought from Dorian Boese through the back pages of Goldmine! Agh! The treasures!

I was done. In the way that only a 16 year old Stevie fan dude could be done.
Heartbroken. Betrayed. Dream shattered. Fill in the blanks.

As is common, the show was rescheduled later that month. I think it was the 16th.
In the interim, my bike was stolen. The bike I rode to the horrible nursing home job that financed the trip. To this day I have no idea how I came up with the money to buy another plane ticket to go back, but I did. I always had more money stashed away somewhere. From my job, mowing lawns, picking up stray bottles. Some things never change. Sparky always stashes money for rainy days. Like a squirrel burying nuts for winter. My parents did not give me a penny. There was no pot of money to pull from. I raided some buried nut pile somewhere as I seem to remember that it cost another 162 dollars for another plane ticket. I remember riding the bus into downtown Portland to unload yet another pocketful of cash to the travel agent for yet another plane ticket. The GF was out. She had a dance concert or something. I was on my own.

So back I went. The parents of the GF let me stay with them AGAIN, and drove me to the show and picked me up. How cool were they? I will never forget them. Cy and Helene. A lawyer and a professor. I waited from 2pm onward at the Oakland Coliseum. Heard the sound check. Met another girl in a top hat and flowers. Big surprise, right? Had a ticket in the 16th row or so. We got stoned. We ran up to the stage at the end. I saw SOTM and Landslide 5 feet from Stevie's brown suede boots. She had on a pink skirt with a metallic silver flower pattern. The lights flashed off of it. And the velvet button up jacket with that rick rack trim. The famous Tusk bolero jacket. At the encore, Stevie grabbed the pink rose off her mic stand and tossed it into the crowd. Somehow or another, I caught it. It traveled back to Portland with me in my trusty backpack from my Cub Scout days. The one that my Mom bought with S & H green stamps. I took it to school with me for a week. Today it is still remains, brittle with age and pressed into the pages of my 1982 HS yearbook.

I later found out that the show was cancelled because Robin had died.

The moral of the story? Sh*t always works out in the end, folks.

I am not telling this story to tragedy trump anyone. It is just something odd, sad, and ultimately charmed that happened to another lifelong Stevie fan. Somehow or another, if you are persistent, everything falls into place. In the ensuing years, and I am thankful for my age for this, I have been to tons of shows...Stormy Weather (both), AZ Heart institute, Sydney in the front row for free, HOB New Years shows,
Roxbury SA Show, the SIR TISL private show. Met her a few times and talked. I could go on. I am not gloating. It is just the magic and serendipity that comes from following her. I have no idea how it happens. Persistence. Being in the right place at the right time. Having good friends. Being in show business. Who knows?

I am sad for the people who missed Webster. I have been there. Clearly.

But stick with it everyone. You will have your dream shows.

As long as you stick it out and as long as you and Stevie still walk this mortal coil.

You will make lifelong friends. Shout out to Meredith and Clayre and Stace and Marisa and Anna and Salvatore and my most beloved Hos. And my dearly missed Bruce.

And damn right I will be at that Wiltern show. Will be like show number 40 or so. I lost count. Too many ticket stubs to count. I hope it is the best one yet.

Maybe I will see some of you there.

[daniellaaarisen]

You're giving me faith that things will work out! Too bad I don't have much time, though... this would be easier if she'd given us more than 2 weeks notice.

[equeen102289]

I have miles to go before I sleep. A shot list, prop list, blah blah blah for a very important shoot this weekend.

However, I want to take this special moment to tell a little story that is very apropos
for this Webster Hall cancellation/LA intimate show replacement hoo ha.

For all long term ledgies that may have heard it before (Jake, Niki, Suze, Livia, Jannie, David, et. al, you know who you are), I apologize for repeating it.

Picture it : 1982. Baby Sparky. 16 years old. Buys tickets over the phone to an October show in Oakland on the very limited Mirage tour. It is the closest town they are coming to Baby Sparky's home town of Portland Oregon. Plane tickets bought. THROUGH TRAVEL AGENT. Cause that's how we rolled in 1982. Baby Sparky is going to concert with Stevie Nicks lookalike girlfriend, complete with top hat, roses in her hair, and staying with said girlfriend's father in Oakland. I think the date was 10/3/82. First time on a plane!

Keep in mind, B Sparky is working almost full time in a nursing home doing laundry (don't even think about it, the reality is worse than the visual) and mopping floors and going to High School and acting in plays and being a track runner and all that. This is how Sparky saved all the money for this trip. About 500-600 bucks if memory serves. Would likely be much more money today.

So, lookalike GF and B Sparky arrive in Oakland. Dad and Stepmom are welcoming, have a fab home on the hill in the good part of Oakland. Yes there is a good part of Oakland. There was in 1982 anyway. They take us to lunch.

We listen to the radio on the way home from lunch and we hear it: Tonight's Fleetwood Mac concert is cancelled due to the illness of Stevie Nicks.

WTF?

We were furious and hysterical. The weekend was not to be recovered.
Tears and consternation and gnashing of teeth ensued.

Once we got home, I literally ripped up the Stevie pictures that lined my locker.
I still wish I had those. The Glamour magazine shot I had stolen from the library! Concert photos I had bought from Dorian Boese through the back pages of Goldmine! Agh! The treasures!

I was done. In the way that only a 16 year old Stevie fan dude could be done.
Heartbroken. Betrayed. Dream shattered. Fill in the blanks.

As is common, the show was rescheduled later that month. I think it was the 16th.
In the interim, my bike was stolen. The bike I rode to the horrible nursing home job that financed the trip. To this day I have no idea how I came up with the money to buy another plane ticket to go back, but I did. I always had more money stashed away somewhere. From my job, mowing lawns, picking up stray bottles. Some things never change. Sparky always stashes money for rainy days. Like a squirrel burying nuts for winter. My parents did not give me a penny. There was no pot of money to pull from. I raided some buried nut pile somewhere as I seem to remember that it cost another 162 dollars for another plane ticket. I remember riding the bus into downtown Portland to unload yet another pocketful of cash to the travel agent for yet another plane ticket. The GF was out. She had a dance concert or something. I was on my own.

So back I went. The parents of the GF let me stay with them AGAIN, and drove me to the show and picked me up. How cool were they? I will never forget them. Cy and Helene. A lawyer and a professor. I waited from 2pm onward at the Oakland Coliseum. Heard the sound check. Met another girl in a top hat and flowers. Big surprise, right? Had a ticket in the 16th row or so. We got stoned. We ran up to the stage at the end. I saw SOTM and Landslide 5 feet from Stevie's brown suede boots. She had on a pink skirt with a metallic silver flower pattern. The lights flashed off of it. And the velvet button up jacket with that rick rack trim. The famous Tusk bolero jacket. At the encore, Stevie grabbed the pink rose off her mic stand and tossed it into the crowd. Somehow or another, I caught it. It traveled back to Portland with me in my trusty backpack from my Cub Scout days. The one that my Mom bought with S & H green stamps. I took it to school with me for a week. Today it is still remains, brittle with age and pressed into the pages of my 1982 HS yearbook.

I later found out that the show was cancelled because Robin had died.

The moral of the story? Sh*t always works out in the end, folks.

I am not telling this story to tragedy trump anyone. It is just something odd, sad, and ultimately charmed that happened to another lifelong Stevie fan. Somehow or another, if you are persistent, everything falls into place. In the ensuing years, and I am thankful for my age for this, I have been to tons of shows...Stormy Weather (both), AZ Heart institute, Sydney in the front row for free, HOB New Years shows,
Roxbury SA Show, the SIR TISL private show. Met her a few times and talked. I could go on. I am not gloating. It is just the magic and serendipity that comes from following her.

This made me feel so much better. Thank you for sharing. :xoxo:

[Crystal_Elle]

You're giving me faith that things will work out! Too bad I don't have much time, though... this would be easier if she'd given us more than 2 weeks notice.

For real. Even 3 weeks notice would have helped. The reason I most likely will not be able to get it together for this trip is the airfare cost. Last minute and about double the distance over NYC.

I try to have faith that things will work out in the end, but honestly I have just had really crappy luck with anything working out since I graduated. It just keeps getting worse. I know Debbie downer blah blah blah.

[StevieNicksfann]

This is why I usually purchase the travel insurance for 10 bucks or whatever so if in the event I can't go on the trip, I can use it later or re-book another trip. This would save you on all costs except for the concert tickets themselves which I'd imagine they'd be refunded anyway. Hope this helps

[vivfox]

Thank you Sparky. I thoroughly enjoyed your memories. And a memory is all that is left for you now~~

[sparky]

This made me feel so much better. Thank you for sharing. :xoxo:

My pleasure.

Was a time travel trip!

In my experience, refundable concert tickets are usually a few hundred dollars more. What airline do you buy from?

[jkmaletic]

I drempt about this stuff all night last night, at least while I was sleeping. It was hard to sleep.

I'm hoping the tickets aren't too expensive. You never know with the LA venues. The Heart and Soul tickets for hollywood bowl were more expensive than any other venue on the tour for some reason. The top tier TM price for tomorrow's New Mexico casino show is $75, and the same show the following saturday for Vega$ is $175!! :shrug:

The first item on my agenda to make the LA show happen for me is to check my work schedule. If someone else has that day off I may have to come down with some type of illness.... ;)

You're so dedicated to your craft. :angel:

And thanks for sharing that story. I don't think I've ever heard it before.

[Dodfather]

I feel totally shafted! This is just so unfair to everyone who was going to Webster.

Absolutely. I'm angry for you all. This is exactly why I agreed with the e-mail that a Ledgie sent to Liz Rosenberg. They have no concept of living in the real world where finances are an issue.

I'm really sorry guys.:mad:

[mezzoforte]

I can actually see you doing this. Your hair is tied back, you're wearing your most unflattering glasses and you're hunched over a little and you're pouting with your wine-stained lips. Am I right?


Pretty much. Teeth that special red-wine-gray, hoping the fam wouldn't knock on my door and compel me to explain that I was that upset about a Stevie concert. It's a great version of me, and I'm honored that you "can see me doing it";). I like to think I put out a vibe of "I sometimes drink alone over Stevie Nicks related disappointments."
I'm really going to earn myself a "together" rep around here, between this and Maracas, huh?:woohoo:

Ah, anyway, I feel pretty ridiculous for being so whiny. Blame it on a week of almost no sleep? (Grrr, exams. Done in 9 hours!)

I'm still toying with the idea of going to the show, so if anyone needs a roommate, lemme know!

[RockAlot]

I feel for all the people that were "suppose" to be at the Webster show, I too would pissed off if this was a LA show that got canc. and re-sheduled on the friggin east coast!!! :mad:

However.....I am in Calif. and I will look into getting my ticket just as soon as they put the pre-sale up!!! :thumbsup:

[RockAlot]

oh hush! lmao! yeah i said it! i'm disgusted right now lol! i wanna damn go and i truly can't!!!! *throws stapler across the room*

You have every right to vent your rage!! And I could actually see in my head you throwing that stapler across the room!! That is toooo funny!!! :laugh:

Jamie
I dreamed about this last night too, such a stressful change of events!!

[daniellaaarisen]

Another problem: my bank account is unbelievably empty from New York so I'd probably have to buy a ticket this Friday after I get paid. Who knows if tickets will even be available then, and if they are, unless I get mine from a Ledgie, the price will probably be ridiculous on StubHub or something.

I'm going to try to make this work....

[fumidesigns]

You have every right to vent your rage!! And I could actually see in my head you throwing that stapler across the room!! That is toooo funny!!! :laugh:

lmaoooooooooooo i swear i laugh so i don't cry!

[ontheEdgeof17]

I'd like to go to this, as well. We will see.

[fumidesigns]

I'd like to go to this, as well. We will see.

take me with you................PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE! :angel:

[daniellaaarisen]

I'd like to go to this, as well. We will see.

Again, not surprised! You and Ed are both crazy in the best way. I guess I can't laugh at you anymore, though, now that I flew to New York..... :lol:

[SapphireSister]

I've been thinking about this all night...as excited as I am this is happening in my hometown of L.A. my heart really goes out to you guys who had tickets to Webster Hall. If the situation had been reversed I'd feel like I'd just been slapped in the face, hard. I say she just has it in TX and we can all meet in the middle :laugh:.

Lindsay... I may be able to go. It's still up in the air but I'm working on it.



Hey, everyone-- is anyone planning on buying an extra ticket? I probably won' be able to purchase one tomorrow morning because I don't get paid until Friday. Anyone willing to reserve me one of their extras? PM me.

[Livia]

And my dearly missed Bruce.

I miss him terribly! Especially now, with all the Stevie excitement. LOVED re-living your Mirage story w/ you Sparky! FWIW (pun intended), I have also been victim to a cancelled show that I flew out of town to attend (Behind the Mask tour, Stevie got sick).

My first cancelled show was also on the Mirage tour, in Austin. But at least I was living here and didn't lose airfare or other travel expenses. The plus side to that was the rescheduled date ending up being on Halloween - and Stevie came onstage in a witch's hat!

I think Pip and Louise have us all beat on losing airfare money (across the pond).

[BTFLCHLD]

The moral of the story? Sh*t always works out in the end, folks. thanks for this sparky. bet youve a bazillion awesome bedtime stories. :D

[ontheEdgeof17]

You've been laughing at us? :shocked::laugh:

[chiliD]

Where are you getting that this is the Webster show "in disguise"? I think it's entirely possible that this show could have been planned all along, to coincide with the East Coast Webster show. Makes sense to me...have a fan gathering on the east, then a few weeks later, have one on the west.

The people who really should be pissed are those from the Rockies to the Appalachians & from International Falls to the Rio Grande. :shrug:

[HejiraNYC]

I think they mean that little strip of grass between here and the Pacific.

[louielouie2000]

I second this! The new Austin City Limits theater would be perfect!

Agreed! She hasn't been here in nearly 22 years now!! :woohoo: The last time Stevie performed in Austin I was a student at Lake Travis Elementary! :lol:

[belladonnadream]

Is there anyone with connections who could find out if Webster Hall is being rescheduled, before I buy a ticket for LA? I'm sure the birthday show will be amazing, but I really only need to see one special show...and I'll really be kicking myself if I fly to California, only to find out that NYC is back on. This is how I feel...and planefare for me has gone up to $500 a ticket!!!!! I think I want to call to see if they are planning on rescheduling the Webster Show before I even consider this! I sure hope sooooo...

[Dodfather]

Good luck Dani. You and all the others deserve it!

[jkmaletic]

This show is listed on Live Nation, but not on TM yet. There are no listed prices yet. It just says general public onsale is 5/16.

[shebop]

The show is General Admission downstairs - Reserved Upstairs!

[belladonnadream]

I just called that Liz R. phone # that was up last week on Fmac News and Reviews...and asked if Stevie was planning on rescheduling something in the East or the Webster show and she said she didn't know..they only handle publicity stuff and whatever Stevie relays to them...they didn't handle concert scheduling and stuff..I said, "Well if you talk to those people,,can you PLEEEASE tell them to get her back to the East coast cause she has a HUUUUGE folling in the NJ, NYC area"... She laughed and said ok;)....We need to get her back over here before this Rod thing starts up again!!!!

[BTFLCHLD]

The show is General Admission downstairs - Reserved Upstairs! what a mess. :eek:

richardb - are you going?

[RockAlot]

The show is General Admission downstairs - Reserved Upstairs!

So no assigned seating on the floor? 1st come 1st served?
Just checked this place, seat's 1850 people, it look's huge, not too intimate? :shrug:

[jkmaletic]

The show is General Admission downstairs - Reserved Upstairs!

How'd you find that out?

[Richard B]

what a mess. :eek:

richardb - are you going?

I think so. You?

I've been to the Wiltern with split shows, GA and Reserved and actually I find that no matter where you are, it's a good seat.

However, The Pit area is not guaranteed even if you have GA. The Pit is the closest you'll get to the stage at The Wiltern.

[Richard B]

So no assigned seating on the floor? 1st come 1st served?
Just checked this place, seat's 1850 people, it look's huge, not too intimate? :shrug:

The Wiltern seats 2200-2300, depending on how the main floor is arranged.

[BTFLCHLD]

I think so. You? Sweetcheeks, if you'd open up your PMs I'd tell you all about it!

[Josh2003]

The people who really should be pissed are those from the Rockies to the Appalachians & from International Falls to the Rio Grande. :shrug:

This Ohioan couldn't agree more!

[jkmaletic]

There are 2 prices on live nation.
102.50
38.50
I have no idea what price pertains to what sections.

[HejiraNYC]

There are 2 prices on live nation.
102.50
38.50
I have no idea what price pertains to what sections.

More specifically...
US $38.50 Ticket + US $12.50 Fees = US $51.00
US $102.50 Ticket + US $18.25 Fees = US $120.75

I would *assume* that the more expensive tickets are for reserved seating. That's usually how it works.

ETA

I still don't know if this is going to be partially GA.

[jkmaletic]

Ok. Here's the lowdown.

$102.50 is general admission floor
$38.50 is upstairs seating

I called and asked how early people line up outside and she said it varies by the performer. Some people have lined up 2 days before a show! She said the average though is about 4 pm the day of the show. She suggested for Stevie to come check it out that morning then kind of feel it out. She said Stevie might have an older crowd versus a younger band so the line may not be as bad, but you can never tell for sure.

Hope that helps. I'm driving up from san diego so I'll probably get there around 10 and check it out.

Figures! :rolleyes: Stick it to the hardcore fans queueing up all night. :mad: Anyway, can you call back and ask if there is a limit to the # of tickets you can buy?

[Crystal_Elle]

Ugh! You'd think it'd be more expensive to have a seat. So we get to stand in line all day and also pay double what people pay to stroll in right before the show and have a comfy seat. Hmm.. :mad:

y am i being punished?

[ontheEdgeof17]

Are the codes out yet? I haven't received one...or two.:p

[SapphireSister]

I personally will be coming from work and do not intend to be standing in a line all day. Therefore I shall push everyone out of my way to be right in front of the stage :lol:. You guys don't mind do you?

[fumidesigns]

*rollseyesextrahard*

*sucksteethextrahard*

[RockAlot]

I do not want to wait outside the venue for HOURS to get a good seat! It was ok and fun back in the day but these days not so much fun! And here is another good point:

Ugh! You'd think it'd be more expensive to have a seat. So we get to stand in line all day and also pay double what people pay to stroll in right before the show and have a comfy seat. Hmm..

Maybe I should get the cheeper ticket and just enjoy the show from afar?

[ontheEdgeof17]

Maybe I should get the cheeper ticket and just enjoy the show from afar?

If I go, that's what I will be doing. At this point, I want a nice, fun show, not a shoulder-to-shoulder riot, trying to enjoy it with hands and heads in your way....

[RockAlot]

Where is the pre-sale password already?? :shrug:

I'm thinking this is going to be given out tomorrow.... When I got my orginal email "yesterday" it said the pre-sale pass-word would be given out tomorrow and that would be today being I got the email yesterday? :shrug:

But I also read a emaild today saying the pass-word would be given out tomorrow (wed.) I'm soooooo confused :confused:

[daniellaaarisen]

Ugh I want to go so badly... If anyone is planning on buying an extra general admission ticket, LET ME KNOW! I can't buy one tomorrow because I'm broke and get paid Friday but if I can somehow swing a flight, I'm gonna do it.

You know it! I'd hop in front of a train for that woman (in addition to taking a bullet, etc.) so pushing through a crowd ain't nothing to me :).

I'm confused about the password thing too. I got an email yesterday saying we'd get another email tomorrow (meaning today, Tues) but I haven't gotten anything. Boy they're really disorganized over there aren't they?

I have seriously thought about getting you one, you do deserve it!! But if there is no assigned seating its not a matter of getting a good seat right? Or are you just affraid there going to sell out?

And, what if someone got you a ticket and you dont go? Then that "person" would be stuck with a extra ticket? :shocked: Work with me here!! :laugh:

There a good chance you'll get one on Friday dont ta think?

[Richard B]

Just got my official email invite with code for tomorrow.

Oh, if it's general admission I definitely want to go and get there at 9AM to camp out. That was my plan for Webster Hall and that's gonna be my plan if I go to this show.

Well, if this show is anything like Webster Hall (which, as far as we know, it is), the tickets are going to sell out unbelievably fast. I'm sure there will be Ledgies without tickets who will be scrambling to find one. Plus, there's always StubHub which is really easy to use, especially when you get your ticket via PDF.

YAY just got mine too. Check your email everybody!

[Richard B]

YAY just got mine too. Check your email everybody!

Woot!
Although, I am a little hesitant to give out my code...I think they are tracking them. Not sure though. They keep using the verbiage "unique" for the code.

[daniellaaarisen]

Check your PMs!!!

I just did.... and responded. You're a lifesaver Pattie.

[daniellaaarisen]

Okay, just got both of mine to my email addresses too... saying a little prayer that I can go to this!

[Tango]

Woot!

The email says:

Note: All tickets are held at will call. You will need to show your ID at the box office in order to pick them up. DO NOT share your unique code with anyone. It can only be used once.


last time they said ALL tickets would be held at will call didn't seem to apply. Maybe don't post your unique code so the brokers don't get them before you fans.

I have a feeling they are going to stick to the will call pick up only....its confusing though since there are two different tickets prices, reserved seating and GA?? Looks like Level 1 is the place to be....I hate this ticket buying process!! LOL

Me too!!! So do we want floor or upper tickets, I'm thinking the upper floor is the higher price and the floor tic. ane the lower price gen. adm. ??

[RockAlot]

I just did.... and responded. You're a lifesaver Pattie.


So your good to go? I soooo think you need to be at this show! To bad the whole group from Webester you were with could make it too! But now you have your West Coast buds to share this with!

I think I'm okay! I'll talk to Pattie tonight and let you guys know.

By the way, for those who have PMed me offering support and those who have said something here... thank you, thank you, thank you. I love all of you!

[kak125]

my code BUZEV2RTPW - i wont be using it!

[skimmy]

I know we aren't supposed to share... but there is no way I am going to be able to attend this show... and I would love for someone (Stevie fan, not a scalper!) to be able to take advantage of the presale... I have three codes (hotmail, gmail & yahoo) that I would be happy to pass along.

I used the copy & paste method when I got my Webster Hall tickets and it worked like a charm.

Please pm me if you are interested...

[FM77]

Good luck to everyone trying for tickets...

[UndoingTheLaces]

OMG, I'm crying right now. I'm supposed to go to Chicago the day of the show. I'm only five minutes away from the Wiltern!!! And what's worse, MY birthday is the 28th! Stevie and I could have celebrated our birthdays together. :(

I've seen her five times solo and three with FM and have never had anything but nosebleed seats. I couldn't go when she did the House of Blues shows back in 2000 (I think) which would have been amazing. And now a show like this is such a small venue. I can't even imagine how incredible it would be. I just want to be in the same room with her for once in my life. And I can't even afford to change my flight until Friday. Hell, I can't even afford the buy the tickets tomorrow. You guys have no idea how depressed I am over this. :(

[JeannieKartis]

Me too!!! So do we want floor or upper tickets, I'm thinking the upper floor is the higher price and the floor tic. ane the lower price gen. adm. ??

ah maybe that is the deal, reserved seats then GA in level 1..I just called the Wiltern but they closed early today, I'm going to call them again tomorrow and see if anyone there can give me a little more info on the 'seating' arrangements for the show...

[mezzoforte]

Can any Los Angelinos help me out? I think I'm going to try to go if the timing works out for the return trip, but the last direct flight for New York leaves LAX at 11:40PM. If I get a car service and leave directly from the venue, how long do you think it would take to get to the airport?

Also, do we know what time Stevie's going on? 8 or 9? And how long do you think her set would be? I'm fine missing the end, but would hate to travel that far and miss, like, the entire last hour.

At that time of night it will only take you abouit a half hour max but I'd leave 45 min. to be safe.

The Live Nation site says the show starts at 7 but that can't be right can it? :shrug:

Good for you Grace! I'm so jealous. I would go in a heartbeat if this show was on a Sat or Sunday, but I just can't miss work that week. Good luck!

Thanks!

I'm guessing they mean the doors open at 7, but the show won't start until 8 or 9? I'll call the venue tomorrow, I think, and see if they know anything about start time. Right now it looks like I'm going if things get started at 8, but will skip if it's any later as I'd want to be out of the venue by 10:15. So, we'll see!

[fumidesigns]

Wtf!? Ok so it's just me, amy and truefaith then! Thanks a lot Grace lmaoooooo!

[fumidesigns]

Omg is Strand going!? If he is, ima cry!!!!!!!!!!!

[mezzoforte]

Aw, Mimi! This is tentative at best, believe me. There's a very good chance the show doesn't begin until 9:00, so I'm not sure at all whether I'm going.

And if I do go, I'll be thinking of my fellow New Yorkers the whole way. Never forget!

[fumidesigns]

Salt, salt and mo salt! So much salt that my new name here should be "SALT"!! I mean big ass pieces of salt! ROCK SALT!!!

[fumidesigns]

Just checked my email and they even sent me a presale code! Lmbao!

Ya know what.......I'm not gonna be salty anymore. I am happy for u guys that r going.....never wasn't happy for u guys really. Maybe a miracle will happen. Maybe I'll get an even better opportunity! Who knows.....

Take pics and tell us everything when u get back home!!!!!

[Macfanforever]

Good luck to everybody who gets tickets tomorrow.

Amber (equeen1022) is officially going. I gotta find a way...

[mezzoforte]

Amber (equeen1022) is officially going. I gotta find a way...

That's awesome! SO happy for Amber. I have a feeling you'll find a way to make it, Dani. You definitely have the will:)

DYING to know what time the show is starting. And I have this niggling feeling that no one at the venue will have any info for me and I'm going to have to wing it and pray I don't fly 10 hours back and forth and 10 hours standing in line to see 20 minutes of Stevie.

Sooo...I guess no one has the info, but anyone care to speculate what time she'll go on? And whether there'll be openers?

[daniellaaarisen]

Do we know for sure if the orchestra is going to be general admission? I need confirmation.

[mezzoforte]

Sounds pretty definite to me. That's how ticketmaster (I think?) has it laid out.

I wouldn't be doing this if I weren't set on getting front row.

Grace, wanna camp out with me? I'm not going without being at Stevie's damn feet. I'm serious, I'm planning on camping. No one get in front of me, I may cry.

[jkmaletic]

I'm thinking it will be, given there's only two prices. I think the only time "orchestra " is a different area is when they have seats on the floor, which in this show's case it doesn't.

You know, I would actually probably do that. Completely serious. I don't want anything less than front and center if I'm going to LA for it.

Don't jinx me, Dani!

Good luck to everyone tomorrow! :D

[daniellaaarisen]

Pattie's hooking me up with tickets, bless her soul. I'm praying this works out....

[mezzoforte]

^^^^
On second thought, doesn't "Two young girls camp out on the streets of LA..." sound like the start of a slasher flick? My parents would not be thrilled to have to explain that their firstborn was slashed while waiting for Stevie Nicks.
I will, however, wake up at the crack of dawn for this. There by 4AM.

So happy for you, Amber! Hope I see you soon!

Done.

Where are you staying? Do you have a plan? I'm staying at my friend's house in Playa Del Rey (30 minutes from the venue) but I don't know how I'll get there.

Nope--I want to call the venue tomorrow before I get a hotel or flight just in case they tell me Stevie goes on at 9:30. I really haven't looked into it yet, but I'm going for the single closest hotel.

[RockALittle250]

So wait, will the tickets be on a first come, first served basis? Or will you be able to pre-order them online, and have them waiting for you when you arrive?
