Presale Ticket Discussion

[pattyfan]

Hi all. I'm going to get tickets for the San Jose show and I just saw that there is an Amex only presale starting this Friday. I don't have an Amex card but my dad will let me use his. Can someone use another person's card? We do have the same last name. Can I register it beforehand on my ticketmaster page with a name that isn't mine? Also, other than the obvious information (name, billing address, card number), is there anything else I need to know? If any of you have any experience and/or first hand knowledge and can share it with me, that would be great.

Second, there are 3 tiers of ticket prices: 46.50, 59.50, and 146.50. That seems like a huge jump. Does anyone know if that last price is for all the floor seats? Or is that like a meet and greet? (I'm assuming that it's the price for floor seats, yikes!)

Finally, does anyone know if there is a way to know whether the presale tickets will actually be close? Often I've gotten better seats by getting tickets through the regular on sale instead of the presale. Is there a way to know which tickets the presale will sell or do you just have to get on at the sale time and see?

Thanks in advance for any help. Wow, Fleetwood Mac in a few months (well, 6). Very cool :)

I would assume that's floor seats.

If I were you, I'd get on at the presale and see what you can get. If you can't get anything that suits you, then maybe wait until later when general tickets go on sale

[michelej1]

You can use someone else's credit card, but you will have to put in his billing information. Michele

[Angel69]

What Michele said. Also if you use your Dad's card, do not use "will call" to pick up your tix. He would have to be there in person with the credit card and drivers license for pick up at the venue.

[mutato]

I bought tickets through an Amex sale with a friend's card. You have to have their billing information and if you are having the tickets shipped you have to use their mailing address. I was not able to have them mailed to a different address than the billing.

[mutato]

Looks like not all dates have AARP and Amex presales. I'm looking for the 4/20 date in CT and it's not listed on Amex's presale list.. http://www.ticketmaster.com/americanexpress/93#colMainWrap

Anyone else able to find the CT's show presale info?

Mohegan Sun is the one venue you will prob not get a presale for :(

That might be good though. Means we have a chance to get good seats. I know Foxwoods holds certain floor sections that can only be purchased through their box office and not ticketmaster, I wonder if Mohegan is the same way. Might be worth a call before the 17th.

Mohegan holds sec 1-5 for players! Good luck!

[SRhiannon]

Is there anything special you have to do to use the AmerEx card? This is my first time using it!:shrug:

Thanks for the heads up.

Does anyone know the difference between AMEX preferred seating and AMEX cardmember presale? Both of which start Dec. 10 for Philly.

[Eugene]

So many questions!

AMEX preferred requires use of a password-8004923344, which is the GOLD card customer service phone number. The regular AMEX presale doesn't require a password. Both require an AMEX card as payment. Most of the time, no seats worth buying are found in a presale, but you may experience otherwise. There is usually no difference in seat selection between the AMEX options.

If you want to use a friend's card, you can use YOUR email address to get etickets even though you have to use their billing information.

The top price of $146.50 will get you a floor seat or a close to the stage lower level. There are no other options, right Elle? ;)

Thanks! Has everyone else had similar experiences with presales? I've actually never tried getting tickets during a presale. That might be a good thing if it's true, realized I won't be around so much this Monday to fight for tickets lol.

[pattyfan]

Hi, Kevin here. I posted the original question. So thanks to everyone for sharing your ideas. :)

I have had very mixed results with pre sales. Sometimes I've had good results and other times I haven't, and for those concerts I just waited for the regular public on sales to get tickets. I think for this show if there is anything on the floor I'll get them and if they aren't really good, I"ll go back and try again next Friday. :)

Good luck with tickets, everyone. !

can you link to that? i saw other amex presales, but couldn't find Philly.

i know nothing about FM ticket sales Eugene, and i hate all this i have to say. i did ask VIP Nation on FB, and they said that FM will not be using their services for this tour.

[Regina]

Preferred seating is slightly better than the regular AMEX sale.
Use the customer service number on the back of the AMEX card (leaving off the 1 before the 800 and the dashes) and that's your secret "password."

I did go on for Washington, DC (out of curiosity) and ... not great. Mid-floor only, so far. Nothing in the first...30 rows.

The last AMEX presales (I think for Stevie and Lindsey's solo stuff) was really good. Hard to look at over $170 for crappy seats.

But, with the last tour (sorry, I'm long-winded again), I found that persistence and timing were the most important things-don't settle. Just keep trying. As the date gets closer, they offer better stuff.

Hello All

I got tons of people here at work who want to go to the Hollywood Bowl show, and a lof of them want to know how the whole AMEXP pre sale works? i have no clue, and a lot of these ppl do have AMEXP cards, if that helps

ANy help on how to get the password, how the process works would be great, as I want to get as many of my co workers to go :)

Thanks

The password is usually your Amex customer service number, depending on which card they are telling you to use. If they say its for Gold Card members you need the gold card customer service number. Platinum card holders have their own number. And so on.

This is great information, thank you!

[pattyfan]

I got on line right at 10 and tried to get tickets via both the Amex and Amex preferred presales. The preferred tickets were better, but none were on the floor, so I didn't get anything. I"ll get my tickets during the regular sale. :)

Kevin

[Macfanforever]

I think this is BS for the fans who don't have these cards.
I not going to signup for Ticketbastards and DeadNations deals with AMEX and CitiBank cards.

What in the hell is wrong with VISA and MasterCard.

a friend of mine and i both tried and that's the best that we both could get too. both regular amex and preferred seating amex. sections 4, 5, or 6, rows F or H was the best we pulled. which is about 30 rows back, but it is floor.

Honestly. At that point, that many rows back, if you can't get up to the stage, I don't know if it's such a good thing to be on the floor. It might be better to be in one of the raised areas.

[WildHearted]

They just listed that the Atlanta show will have an AMEX presale on the 10th @ 10 AM.

I don't have an american express card, so I won't be able to take advantage of that - do they usually put up the good seats for those?

[Regina]

Either during Unleashed or SYW...Amex was having a "preferred seating" thing the same time the regular tickets were on sale. I did both, out of curiosity. Both were the same--and both were lousy. On the other hand, surprisingly, again--I can't remember which but I'm thinking it may have been both Lindsey and Stevie's tours--where they had an AMEX pre-sale and the seats were great. And, now that I think of it, it may have been Lindsey.
It's hit and miss but with FM--they like playing games with these sales and try to sell junk before the good stuff. And, if you look on Stub Hub for FM--Madison Square Garden is already on sale. The presale is only supposed to begin on 12/10. Yesterday, there were 155 tickets--some over $1000 each. Give me a break.
There is a big stink over the Garden and the Sandy Hurricane concert and how many tickets are on the broker's sites (some over $50,000 per ticket...WHAT?????) All purchased "legitimately" through ticketmaster? Not by a long shot (IMO). I think MSG is completely shady and I'm sure other venues are as well. But, with MSG--I've been able to get front row (I believe 3 times) at nearly the last minute (1 week or less prior to the show).

[WildHearted]

So do you think it's worth it to try and find a family member with an AMEX card to try to do the presale, or to just wait until the other presales / regular sale?

Hmm, yeah I've never been to the Garden for a concert, but this is making me even more weary than I was to begin with. May just stick with Philadelphia.

hey all- FYI our presale in CO was today and there were no floor seats

I got a seat one level up but I called after also and was told the floor seats were 1. being held back by the group for family/friends and 2. the rest would be onsale for the PUBLIC onsale

so there are no benefits to a presale IMO

I will try again next Monday to get a better seat and see if I can change mine out.

These prices are ridiculous (not even front row!), but it's the regular price of $149 that will be keeping me from seeing FM on this tour. :(

Same for Chicago..really disappointed that there are no real perks for presale buyers. Only the back half of floor seats were available. Which almost garauntee no view since there's no slope to the floor..also the maximum ticket price which should be exclusive for front floor tickets, were being offered for 100-200 level seats as well. More disappointment IMHO.

Hoping general sale on the 17th gets me good floor seats!

Anyone who is dumb enough to pay those prices, either has no sense, or too much money. In the case of the latter, they should send it all to me.

[jkmaletic]

I tried the Anaheim CA presale today. Got nothing but junk and then pulled row 10, center section, floor. Threw them back cuz I want row 7 or less, center, and I'm sticking to that. I'll play Tickebastards waiting game. BALLS OF STEEL!!

[Macfanforever]

I hate these tour and Ticketbastard -DeadNation tie-ins with credit card companies.Its unfair.Corrupt.

Haha I told myself 10 or less! If I had pulled row 10, I definitely would have hesitated! Here's hoping for some better options later this week! :cool:

Hoping general sale on the 17th gets me good floor seats!

I'm just curious - when you try on the 17th when the public onsale starts, do you just try to get online as soon as possible (10am or whatever it is for Chicago) and do Best Available and just try your luck? Just wondering if there's a trick to it or anything...

[elle]

Pittsburgh venue has interactive map - you can see all tickets that are offered during amex pre-sale. on the floor, only sections 4, 5, and 6 are offered at this venue.

Well, that's that plan as of now that I am praying will work! :shrug:

A few comments back mentioned they called and spoke to their venue, and a lot of the front floor sections were reserved for band fam, friends, etc. I'm just really hoping more are released on the 17th.

I'm thinking other people are planning on the same? Anyone..?

[britt0308]

Ridiculous..ticketmaster offers "platinum seating" which below explains that tickets are not resale, but offer the "best options" at face value. Um for the front floor sections, face value is approx. $300-500 per ticket. WHAT?!

I just can't believe that THAT many people are willing to pay those prices!

It's like walking into a bank, when you've already seen the armed robbers enter before you.

I wouldn't pay a penny over $150 to see them, even with Christine. Okay, maybe $200, WITH Chris.;)

[elle]

omg, i just looked at the prices. that is just ridiculous. honestly.

did you see NJ??????? :distress:

Chicago almost looks "reasonable" compared to NJ.

it's market driven, it will go down if nobody buys these.

happened with DC - went down after nobody bought the initial round... so people bought a bunch... which drove TM to offer more and prices went back up to more ridiculous.

i'm sticking with my 30th row DC ticket. :rolleyes:

Now, you've got me all flustered. Do I assume that no one will buy the California shows at those prices and hope Ticketmaster will knock them down in a couple of days or will people buy them at these $2000 prices and will I be out in the cold, standing on the street corner hoping I get a glimpse of a FM limo as they enter the concert venue that I can't attend?

Obviously, if a fan buys at outrageous prices and then they go down a few hours later, it will only add to one's depression. Better to pay through the nose, but know that was all that was available and be able to justify it to yourself.

No, actually I will say that fluctuation is a good thing. Lots of times with Stub Hub or Barry's Tickets, you see the tickets sitting there and they are NOT selling, but they won't lower the prices. If they DO lower them, they wait until just a few days before the concert to do it, but mostly they don't. They will leave those tickets unsold rather than change the pricing. At least Ticketmaster isn't doing that and moves with the market -- well, once you ignore the fact that the tickets are 10x overpriced in the first place.

Lol aww, don't let it come to that! But, if I'm honest, I'd rather not go than not have good seats. What is the point if they look like ants on stage... Maybe for some people I wouldn't mind, but this is FM.

Come the 17th, I'm buying my tickets. I have a budget and I'm not going over it. Whatever I can get is what's happening. I swear to God, if I don't hear Frozen Love, SOTM, or Angel, I'm breaking up with them... This is an emotionally abusive relationship.

[Nolastorms]

Since the Amex Presale was a bust at getting any seats in the 1st 3 sections I was hoping to try for the next presales on Friday. Pittsburgh has 3 listed. Internet, Live Nation and Live Nation Mobile App Presales. Obviously the Mobile app I can access from my Ipad. Anyone know or used the Internet or Live Nation Presales with any luck? Do you need passwords. Thanks for your help...the waiting is killing me...I REALLY want close on this tour!

[sleepless child]

me too. i tried for pittsburgh tickets and was disappointed at the seats available.

[olive]

If this is any thing like P!NK GAGA or the Who all the seats from the stage to the middle of the floor and the 2 sections on the side ALL those SEATS are Premium and will not pop up in any pre or regular sale , maybe FM will be different but we ( there are 7 of us) have been searching for good seat to the 3 i mentioned and nothing has shown up I've given up 650 for a seat for pink and 275 to stand , my day of arena shows has ended ,

I will beg to differ on the Pink and Gaga tickets. I got 8th row for Pink on a presale and General Admission for Gaga on a presale. Both fanclub presales.

Please dont put all artists in the same category.

8 th row where ? there are no seat in front of the stage for PINK the seats start in the center of the arena after the standing /pit area and there are plenty of gaga GA tickets as a premium seat along with VIP packages which will give them preference to the front of the stage before the $49.50 ticket holder , and what category is that? ... it's the way Ticketmaster does business

[eric51078]

8 th row where ? there are no seat in front of the stage the seats start in the center of the arena after the standing /pit area and the ga tickets were never mentioned for gaga as a premium seat but the standing area for gaga is 85% of the floor being packed in is not my idea of a good time and what category is that? ... it's the way Ticketmaster does business

8th row for Pink in Boston. Gaga GA tickets in Boston were not part of a package. Got both seats on fan presales. Now they are offering premium platinum seats as well. Not even going to argue that Ticketmaster screws everyone. GA has nothing to do with Ticketmaster. It has everything to do with the artist.

Lets hope that we all can at least get seats for FM this year and we can all be happy :)

what section is this 8th row?

[eric51078]

Im in Section C.. does it matter? 8th row is 8th row regardless of a GA pit or not. Let it go.

get a grip i was just curious after trying to get a decent seat thought someone did just trying to have a conversation ... won't happen again

I'm seeing the closing scene from Stella in my head right now. :(

I feel the same way but I know, like the abused would do, I will go back to FM no matter what. I just can't not go no matter how frustrating this is and how much it hurts me! Hoping for a decent seat in Columbus but as the mom in Pinkalicious says, "You get what you get and you don't get upset." I'll just be sure to pack my binoculars. In some ways I am relieved that Columbus doesn't appear to have these premium seats.

You know, Stevie talks a big talk about internet piracy destroying the music industry. I don't know/care if this is related, but in my opinion a) the music industry is still standing and b) perfectly capable of finding new ways to screw consumers. :shrug:

I'm seeing the closing scene from Stella in my head right now. :(

I feel the same way but I know, like the abused would do, I will go back to FM no matter what. I just can't not go no matter how frustrating this is and how much it hurts me! Hoping for a decent seat in Columbus but as the mom in Pinkalicious says, "You get what you get and you don't get upset." I'll just be sure to pack my binoculars. In some ways I am relieved that Columbus doesn't appear to have these premium seats.

they do have the Premium seats

[eric51078]

get a grip i was just curious after trying to get a decent seat thought someone did just trying to have a conversation ... won't happen again

there were decent seats available over the weekend :( but they are gone. If I come across any I will let you know!

[APerfectLie]

Apparently Houston is having a radio presale Friday too in addition to the Live Nation one. Anyone know what the password is?

[Bandon]

I still say Stevie is so anti-album saying no one wants to buy them, yet is so into a new Buckingham/Nicks album. What's that all about...go figure :shrug:

thanks but I have given up on arena shows ( and this is not an attack on anyone who is willing to pay the prices they are asking what you do with your money is your business ) I certainly can afford the to go but as far as Mac what am I getting for 1245 dollars ? so far just a lot of hype and as for P!NK I was lucky enough on the same day as Stevie's show in BOSTON to see her at the Mix 108 lounge with 11 other people .

I am being to see why Christine quit , These are not artist and musician , but business people it is about the dollar ,every other artist works hard to create and get out music for there fans, either by record company or their own websites ..this thing about the music industry being a mess is BS people are selling albums it her/them not the industry.

After all this inflated ticket scalping by the Artists is said and done , will someone please post a video of Stevie nearly in tears thanking people for coming out even though the" Concert industry is a mess "

I agree with you on this as well It's not just them it's all the artists even the new young artists charge alot. The artists today can't sell only certain ones do of cd sales and digital sales, Stevie and FM can't sell like the used to of album sales and cd sales and digital sales the way they would like to, so they have to make it up at the concerts.I had a blast thru the years of going to concerts. I might go to this tour not sure yet but I am getting older and the concerts are getting less enjoyable today.If you never seen FM and want to go see them by all means go and enjoy the show you will have blast. I am done buying high priced tickets.To me any ticket that is over $100 a ticket is high priced.

I find it ironic that so many people (on here) seem all too willing to accuse FM of being greedy, yet they do so only because they somehow feel entitled to pay $25 for front row tickets - that sounds decidedly gluttonous/selfish to me, ne c'est pas? The band does not set the prices; the promoter sets the prices. And ultimately ticket prices, as well as pretty much everything non-essential we buy/consume in our everyday lives, is dictated by the market: supply vs. demand. So...

1. For some shows, the "official platinum seats" are upwards of $2500 for a front row ticket. Does that suck? Absolutely. But guess what? You don't have to buy them; somebody else will. With one or two exceptions, pretty much every show on this tour has ticket prices that start below $50, which is comparable (if not less expensive) with pretty much every touring act on the arena circuit. Is that affordable for everyone? No... but FM is not a charity for their fans. They do need to make money and the promoter needs to make money so that they will be willing to support more FM shows/tours in the future.

2. High ticket prices for the best seats in the house are reasonable. Back in the day, concert tickets in an arena were all pretty much set at a single price; the front row was the same price as the back row of the nosebleeds. That was all fine and dandy in theory... But in reality it was virtually impossible to score really good seats since there were no financial incentives for people to choose to sit farther from the stage. In addition, shows sold out much faster and more completely, which meant that often times it was simply impossible to get in the door, let alone get a decent seat. Premium pricing helps to ensure that more good seats are available for sale... if you are willing to pay for them.

3. High ticket prices help to discourage scalping. Let's say FM sold all of their floor seats, including the front row, for $50. Does that change the fact that somebody somewhere is willing to pay $2500 for a front row seat? Probably not. So the end result is that Fleetwood Mac/the promoter gets paid $50 for that seat while the ticket scalper clears a hefty $2450 profit, which is totally inappropriate. I would much rather see Fleetwood Mac receive $2500 for that seat (since they are the ones doing the work!) than some scumbag ticket scalper. My understanding is that the "platinum premium seats" are for the benefit of the artist/promoter, so at least the money is going to the appropriate recipients. After all... they must have done something right in their careers if someone is willing to pay that much money to see them up close. They deserve the fruit of their labors.

4. Fleetwood Mac is a brand as well as a business. This is why tickets to a Stevie Nicks concert are $100 and tickets to a Lindsey Buckingham concert are $50, yet tickets to an FM concert are $200. The numbers don't lie- the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And chances are, a "Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham featuring Mick Fleetwood and John McVie" tour would not be anywhere near as lucrative/eventful as a "Fleetwood Mac" tour, even though they are the exact same thing. So preservation of the Fleetwood Mac brand is essential for their touring strategy. If Fleetwood Mac starts charging $50 for tickets and playing small theaters, they potentially damage not only the FM brand, their solo careers would also take a hit as well. For example, would people be willing to pay $15,000 for a Hermès Birken bag at Bergdorfs if they can buy the same thing at Walmart for $150? Would Hermès be a coveted premium international luxury brand if they sold their wares at KMart, JC Penney and Sears? Would a Fleetwood Mac tour be less of an event if they played shopping malls, state fairs and auto dealership openings? Most likely: yes and yes. Let's face it... Fleetwood Mac is a premium brand. Definitely not in the top echelon along with The Rolling Stones, The Eagles... or even Coldplay. But they are still highly respected/desired- probably similar in stature with Neil Young and The Who. I see no reason why they should not maintain their stature in the world of music.

I appreciate what you have to say in your post--I don't think the fans here expect front row seats for $25.00 and many of us over the years have spent 100 times that cost for tickets. However, I'm not sure if the Fleetwood Mac brand of late is exactly haute couture; in fact, a lot of it has been "same old." Just my opinion. It's a lot of money to be asked from fans just before/during the holidays as we go over the "fiscal cliff." Again, as you suggest, no one is holding a weapon to your head to force you to purchase.

Awesome! Thank you so much! I'm hoping they have better presale seats reserved than the Live Nation presale. *fingers crossed*

[Neal]

Ugh, presales are such a joke. I always let myself get excited, and every time I'm disappointed. Consistently, the "best" seats available are the worst of the highest price tier.

If I'm going to pay $150 to sit in the back row, at the far side of the arena, why not save $50 and move up a few feet to the upper level? Same view, right?

I've been on Ticketmaster all day using every presale option and have been getting (literally!) the same 4 seats in the same row. Over and over and over...

man almighty, i have been waiting for 20 minutes... i'm supposedly in a queue to access the Philly presale... fml

[AbbiJoy78]

I am in all the quues, and guess what happens? A "gateway timeout" happens...and then i HAVE to refresh my screen to get it to come back to the Wells fargo screen, and thus lose my placed in line. I have NEVER seen this before and fans no longer have a shot. It all goes to brokers and i feel hopeless. This is not a good system and i can't believe i will probably have to go thru Ebay or StubHub to get good seats now.

[Regina]

Crap seats for Philly and NY. Big shocker. Philly is actually offering "Premium" seats in the presale--but, you have to order 2. And, they are FAR from cheap. NY is ridiculous.

[WildHearted]

I tried probably 2 dozen times and never pulled up any floor seats at all for the Atlanta presale. I refuse to spend nearly $200 per ticket to not have somewhat decent seats. Sorry.

I guess now I'll wait 'till the general sale and hope something better pops up, and if all else fails I'll wait until June and if I still haven't gotten anything, I'll buy some cheap (relatively speaking) nosebleeds and bring some binoculars. If my seats are going to suck anyway I might as well save a little money.

Why bother with these presales if the seats offered are more like the worst in the house? :confused: I'm giving up for today.

[WildHearted]

I think they might be trying to con people into buying the platinum seats. Offer really terrible seats in the beginning of the sale so people think their only way of getting good seats is to spend $1000 per ticket.

At least, that's what I'm hoping. I have my fingers crossed that better seats will be available as time goes on.

[Spacedog2]

The platinum seating at MSG is in-frikkin-sane.

$2075 per ticket for front row center.
$1454 per ticket for 2nd row center.
$1245 per ticket for 3rd row center.

I have been in the front row at many shows, and I have been in the 2nd row at many shows. There is no substantial enough difference warranting a $600 price hike. I don't even think Stubhub would charge these prices either.

[KindOfWoman90]

I'm honestly about to forget it and wait till the 17th. I agree, I'm not paying 200 bucks for crap seats. Hopefully there will be some better options when the actual sale happens. With all this premium seat bull you would think it was the Led Zeppelin concert from a few years back all over again... I love FM, but damn. I'm lowering my expectations. Now I just want to be in the first 20 rows.

I'll settle for anything in those first sections 3, honestly. I had dreams of the first 10 rows but yeah, giving up on that.

I refuse to pay anything above retail though. I can't afford it, literally. So no brokers for me.

[deluge]

The presale tickets for Atlanta today were better seats than the American Express "Preferred" tickets that went on sale the other day (which I thought sucked - what a sham that is for AmEx "preferred" seats).

I saw some good lower level tickets come up this morning, but I passed on them because I want to be on the floor closer up. (In contrast, there were no similar lower level seats in the AmEx preferred presale inventory that I saw.)

I also saw some floor tickets in section 9 come up this morning. But that is all the way in the back, and not what I'm looking for, so I passed on those.

The Platinum level tickets that are now listed are obscenely priced. And you have to buy two. I'm not going to do that.

Fleetwood Mac should offer tickets to fans through a fan club, and control the tickets like Tom Petty does. With Tom Petty's fan pre sale, scalpers are pretty much shut out because the buyer has to pick up the tickets in person at will call and show the credit card used to purchase them. This gets the very best tickets in the hands of fans. Don't understand why Fleetwood Mac doesn't do this. But they don't.

What's so sad is that there are always people with the seats we all covet up front that go to these shows and could care less. During Unleashed, I was in the 7th row at MSG and this whole family in front of me left halfway through. And then this past summer I was in the front row at PNC for Stevie and the lady next to me is like, ok, we're leaving now, during the 7th or 8th song. I don't get it. We'd kill for these seats, yet a huge chunk of them are going to people who really would rather be home watching tv because they are corporate seats/comps/what have you. That irritates me about as much as the crazy Platinum seats. Scalper prices are cheaper.

[Spacedog2]

Scalper prices are definitely cheaper. And with the excessively high price of the majority of these tickets, you can bet that you will get some great deals on Stubhub in the weeks leading up to the show as the scalpers are forced to cut huge percentages just to offload stock. I'm waiting to see the deals I get in Feb/Mar.

[AbbiJoy78]

I have never been so disheartened. This is not like 2003 for SYW Tour, when i could go on ebay and get 9th-12th row seats for $400/pair. That was great, even though it was still expensive for me. Now, they are selling the back of the venue for already $600+/pair on ebay! I will have NO shot! Why does it suck so bad now? The fun is gone from buying tickets and waiting for the "hunt". It's hopeless...i am so deflated:(

Ugh I just hate that! I think if you're on the floor, at any distance, since you're paying a pretty penny you better be into it! Otherwise get off the floor and sit elsewhere... I swear to God, this summer I was the ONLY one standing for some of Stevie's songs in my section of the floor - and it was not necessarily a slow song! I think she was singing For What It's Worth. Obviously, everyone up front was still standing. Then the people right in front of me sat through the whole thing. Which is fine, I can see better ;) But why pay that much if you don't care?

By the way, it seems all the presale floor seats for Philly are gone. I can't get any anyway....

And of course the second you remain standing, you get yelled at from people. It's a rock concert people! Add that to the pet peeve list. If you want to sit and listen THE WHOLE TIME don't sit up front!

Exactly! Again, that's why we need an exclusive membership or club price/ticket option! We're the ones that CARE. About to try for Chicago presale again..LiveNation..please be good to me!

[CADreaming]

Presale in Atlanta sucks.

I've only pulled up floor once -- in sec 6 and that was for one ticket which I passed on.

The other sections I've pulled up are lower level -- 102, 112, 113, 114,116, 114. All are back rows -- T, U, W, X

I checked on a few broker sites and they have great seats available for double the ticket price on average. Stub Hub did not have the first three sections though.

Think I'll have to wait to get good seats...

Here are a couple more codes to try for Atlanta

Live Nation Mobile App: covert

Philips Arena code for Internet presale: DREAMS

[KindOfWoman90]

i'm starting to think they need to add more dates... ASAP!:distress:

[sushud82]

Columbus pre-sale was not fantastic but I bought. I'm in Floor 1 in the back. If I find a good deal or if the platinum seats drop further I might try my luck again and sell my current seat, but I guess we'll see as the date draws nearer. I should have waited it out but I just couldn't resist. :rolleyes:

[britt0308]

No floor options in Chicago..

Actually looked at the lowest "platinum" prices and a few 100 level (front row in sections on the side closest to the stage) are equivalent or a few bucks cheaper than what I was getting for Amex presale.

Those seats would be my plan B if good floor seats were not available. The chances of getting my idea of "good floor seats" on the 17th is starting to scare me. Wondering if I should get those side 100 seats..I don't know!!!

[WildHearted]

i'm starting to think they need to add more dates... ASAP!:distress:

The lack of dates in the Southeast is kind of strange to me. There's 2 southern FL dates, and then Atlanta. And that's it.

[CADreaming]

Oh, Lindsey where is the Southern love now?!:p

That settles it -- a BN Southern Safari Tour must happen! :)

Yeah, I think they're being very conservative with 34 dates. Maybe add some in the Southeast, and also double up in bigger cities in the Northeast...so like, I can get decent seats in Philly or NY...

[KindOfWoman90]

Haha! I was actually going to ask you, do you think we'd have this much difficulty with BN tickets? There is something about the two of them that makes acquiring tickets impossible... Although, maybe not as many people would want to see them if they weren't doing FM songs (One can hope anyway! Haha) The whole idea of a BN tour makes me happy *goes off into happy place* :angel:

[sushud82]

They seem to be playing it safe/conservative. See how much people are willing to shell out and how well shows sell...

Personally was surprised there was no Cleveland or Cincinnati date. But then there is Columbus, Detroit, Pitt, and Louisville which are all close to those cities (sort of). But you know, Cleveland! Rock and roll! Come on!

I definitely expect to see more dates, but who knows when or where.

On a certain level probably especially since it would be smaller venues and they surely would hype it.

I was surprised about Cleveland too! I would have tried for those. Saw Stevie w. Rod there this past summer.

The platinum seating at MSG is in-frikkin-sane.

$2075 per ticket for front row center.
$1454 per ticket for 2nd row center.
$1245 per ticket for 3rd row center.

I have been in the front row at many shows, and I have been in the 2nd row at many shows. There is no substantial enough difference warranting a $600 price hike. I don't even think Stubhub would charge these prices either.

Holy crap .Talking about price gouging .Have to take out a mortgage to get FM tix these days.

That is nuts.

[KindOfWoman90]

On a certain level probably especially since it would be smaller venues and they surely would hype it.

Hmm, well. If they were to do this tour, they better be very explicit that no FM songs would be sung. I just have this bad feeling at such a concert I'd hear things like, "When are they going to sing Dreams?"

I'd eat Hamburger Helper for a year to get tickets for such an event. :cool::p

[APerfectLie]

I'm honestly about to forget it and wait till the 17th. I agree, I'm not paying 200 bucks for crap seats. Hopefully there will be some better options when the actual sale happens. With all this premium seat bull you would think it was the Led Zeppelin concert from a few years back all over again... I love FM, but damn. I'm lowering my expectations. Now I just want to be in the first 20 rows.

Same BS here in Texas! Absolutely no floor seats in Dallas and a few floor seats in Houston, but none in the front sections. Ugh, I am so angry I could cry. Here is to all of us having better luck on Monday!

Someone needs to get with Fleetwood Mac's management and make some kind of deal with The Ledge. I mean hell, radio stations get their own presales, why can't The Ledge have one?

[Moz]

Kept getting bad seats here (rows 21+), so I tried for half an hour to get better seats when Ticketmaster blocked me from accessing their website.

How are you supposed to have customers if you offer bad seats (sorry, I'm not paying $400 to struggle to see over peoples' heads) and then block you from trying to get better seats? :shrug:

[sodascouts]

Same here, Moz! I'm in TM jail and "still forbidden" now because I kept trying for half-decent seats that TM never coughed up. What the freak is that about??? Don't they screw fans over badly enough without this kind of crap?

Stevie is saying she guesses 50 ultimately. Not just because it always increases, but because she saw some pre-tour map or some such thing that indicated 50 dates, then a break, then Europe.

Michele

[michelej1]

Obviously, everyone up front was still standing. Then the people right in front of me sat through the whole thing. Which is fine, I can see better ;) But why pay that much if you don't care?


Leaving is one thing, but I don't see sitting as a sign of apathy. Michele

[KindOfWoman90]

Leaving is one thing, but I don't see sitting as a sign of apathy. Michele

I understand there is a time to sit, but I guess you have to understand the context. It was practically every song. So, everyone around them, even in front of them were standing too, therefore they wouldn't have been able to see anything...not even the big screen really. It was the concert with Rod; if I recall, they stood up for a few more of his.

I stand when I have to in order to see, but otherwise I like to sit and look at them. I don't need to be up. I might get up if I don't think a song has support (Red Rover) or (SOTM if it is added), but I'm not getting up for GYOW or Stand Back unless it is the only way I can see the performers. I will sing along, but I have no desire to dance or clap or move around (because other people who move around inevitably block my view) with their giant heads, flailing arms and pushy bodies. I can do all of that at home. But I can't see into the performers' eyes at home, which is what I like to do. Michele

[loubird98]

I am not impressed with the presale ticket results for Philly. Anybody have any luck buying tickets right before the show?

[Lee]

I've never come up with good tickets during a pre-sale, & this just boggles the mind:

PLATINUM SEATS Floor 2 Row 3 FLOOR 2 3 3-4 2 795.00 35.85 1661.70 In 2009, I was in Row 5, & I think it was Floor 2, & I never paid anything close to this & I wouldn't. :shrug:

And in 2009, it was about two months before the show that I got those Row 5 tickets. It is definitely a wait & see with me.

Lee :shrug:

[CADreaming]

I've tried it all. The most satisfied I've been for the seats & the money were when I called Ticketmaster on the phone during a general sale, pulled the seating chart up and went section by section until I was happy with the results. This was for Tom Petty & Bob Seger and I was not trying for floor seats.

Other than that, it's been brokers for me and I usually pay double face value per ticket -- plus the fees.

I hate it, but I do it because I want to be close.

[Macfanforever]

With Ticketbastard .Good luck and don't hold your breath. I'd probably mentioned this on here before .I had great luck calling the box office at the Turning Stone casino for a Stevie show.On the first day of the sale I called the BO up around after 10am .No go the first couple of times but the third time was the winner.

As I grasp the phone as the lady said how many tix do you need.I said One please.She said ."do you know you can get great seats for one tix only.I said yes I know that.She looked up at her side and said I have one right in the front row.I almost died when she said that.I had her repeat it again to get it in my head.She said the tix are $100.I said WOW.I said I WANT THEM.

One other time I think it was Ticket tron at the time in 1989 at Stevie's cursing show at Lake Compounce here in CT.I scored 4th row seats about a month before the show.


FM tix always seems to be a nightmare to get good seats because of those inflated packages and what ever else

Stevie tix are easier to get good seats then FM shows.

I had good luck for good seats even with TM-LN on the last Stevie tour.

Good luck guys.....

[sleepless child]

I got tickets for the Pittsburgh show Thursday night on Ticketmaster with the presale. I was able to get floor 5 which is center about halfway back in row pp. I would have loved section 1, 2, or 3, but I think these will be pretty decent seats. Can't wait to see what kind of show they will put on.

[Eugene]

I am not impressed with the presale ticket results for Philly. Anybody have any luck buying tickets right before the show?

In 2009, a lot of us got our center front floors two weeks before the show.

And I took the section 2 row 7 on the aisle.

ADULT Floor FLOOR 2 7 19-20 2

Here is the thread:

http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=39625

[pattyfan]

I tried 3 different presales but ended up getting row 18 on the floor via the regular on sale. :) They aren't soooo close, but I'm happy. It's funny that the concert is 5 months off ;)

Now I'm just going to cross my fingers for...

Angel
Sisters of the Moon
Twisted
That's Alright
Walk a Thin Line
Save Me a Place
Tango in the Night
Blue Letter

If they play even one of those, I"ll be really happy :)

Kevin

[nailatixela]

Also had bad luck with the presale. I am hoping that cheaper seats will open up closer to show time but...what are the odds? With even some of the close, lower sections being called "premium" seating for Philly - how will we ever get the kind of seats we got in 2009? I paid the 150 a pop price in Philly in 2009 and got 11th row, in front of John. Now I can pay that same amount and be up in the lower section, all the way behind all the floor seats. I can't justify that...and don't see any other tickets down below opening up for cheaper prices.

[olive]

I bought 5th row section C this morning on ticketmaster for $165.60 each!

[Kayt1234]

Anyone have any idea how many rows are allowed at the stage? Top 10? top 5? Just wanting to make sure I don't get stuck if I decide to just go with a slightly further back row :)

[CADreaming]

In 2009, we were told 6 rows. I'm not sure how easy it is to get around that - might depend on venue.

[Kayt1234]

^^Thank you! :) I was kinda thinking the same thing but just wishful thinking! Still hoping I can pull up something in the first few rows without having to resort to any VIPs. One last question- in the past hour or so, has anyone else recieved a "403 Forbidden" notice when trying to sign onto Ticketmaster? It's popped up every time for me and I'm hoping it's just that the site's experiencing difficulty and it's not just me. With my luck, it would be me! Thanks!

[Moz]

I got blocked again today (the 403 error) for about 10 hours despite spending less than 5 minutes checking for tickets. :rolleyes: I'm still pulling up row 28; the best I've seen was row 21.

What are my chances of getting something within the first 10 rows during the general sale? Unfortunately, I don't have an extra $750+ kicking around for the VIP packages or those ridiculous "platinum" seats, so that's not an option. In 2009, I got fifth row seats during the pre-sale within the first 10 minutes and I have no experience with floor seats/general sales, so I'm pretty nervous about trying for floor seats during the general sale.

I hear ya- I feel like I consistently pulled up great seats during the presale for the last tour. It's amazing to me how much everything has changed in just a few years. With the insane prices on stub hub and eBay, to even how Ticketmaster has managed to get even sneakier with tickets (esp with the addition of premium seats), it's hard to stay positive! And I've never encountered and 403 forbidden message before( ever!). What is that from? Using the site too much? Crazy. :shrug:Good luck to you tomorrow- sending positive vibes!

Thank you! I hope you get something good, too.

I was blocked on Friday because I spent half an hour looking for good seats. :o Ticketmaster will block you for about 24 hours if they see you searching for tickets too often. They say it's to prevent scalpers. I emailed them and told them that I was blocked; they said the blocking was done automatically and they couldn't reverse it. I don't know why they blocked me the second time. :shrug: If they block you again tomorrow, you can try again at a friend's house since your IP addresses will be different.

[Kayt1234]

thanks for the explanation, Moz. I'm pretty stuck- all my friends are at work and I'm still stuck with the forbidden page. That's actually infuriating to me. Scalper problems are even worse than they've ever been. They've already got tons of the great seats and are reselling them on stubhub for 10x the face value. :shrug: Now, they're blocking regular users from getting even the chance of getting regular seats. Clearly, that did nothing. SO stupid.

[olive]

before tm blocks you it give you an option to prove you are not an automated program with a CAPCHA I got hit with it 3 times yesterday

[CADreaming]

I've tried the general sale -- still not getting anything in the front 3 sections.

[sodascouts]

Nothing for Atlanta, Houston, or Dallas.

[Moz]

Finally got good seats - row 8. :thumbsup: I pulled up rows 14 and 13 then decided to take a chance. The next seats that I found (for curiosity's sake) were in row 14 again, then row 19.

[jkmaletic]

Nothing but garbage for Anaheim today. Sigh. Will hafta play the waiting game.

[APerfectLie]

Found a few floor seats in Dallas, but nothing in the first 15 rows. Then Ticketmaster blocked me. I have no words for my anger right now.

[Lee]

Well, I tried for about 45 minutes for good seats in Philly. At first, it came up Justin Bieber :eek:everytime I clicked on Fleetwood Mac. I was really getting frustrated there for a few minutes. The best seats I pulled up was in Section 3, Row 9, which for a near-sighted FM groupie (as my husband calls me, groupie, not the near-sighted part), this was too far away for me. And from the looks of it, Stub Hub got the good majority of the good tickets. Now has does that happen? :rolleyes: And why is Stub Hub linked with the Wells Fargo Center? :distress: Hmmmm.... that seems kind of weird to me. :shrug: I'm just going to wait & see if any good seats come up over the next few months like I did last time. I can't believe they'll sell all those first six rows at those high dollar amounts.

If those seats were 1, 2, 3, or 4, I would have bought them and been very happy, since they are on Lindsey's side.

[nailatixela]

Regarding Philly:

I am pulling up only sections 115 and 123, about row 15. They're pretty pricey at 150 each for these seats. Ugh...what to do? Play the waiting game? Again - will cheaper seats REALLY pop up this time around when all/most the floor seats seem to be premium tickets anyway?

[olive]

i love that these are right next to me and I PAID LESS FLOORC ROW 5 SEAT9 - 10 EACH $408.33 I can't wait to meet them

you seem to be extremely lucky (or extremely persistent?) - sounds like bunch of other people tried Philly and ended up pulling only nosebleeds.

i'm not sure that you need to rub it in to people less lucky than you who may end up paying tons of money for similar seats to yours...

i like this interactive map that Pittsburgh venue has - there is 1 seat left in the front sections there, and you can see availability in various sections http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/16004983D9137235?tm_link=edp_onsale. much nicer than this trying to pull something but unfortunately most venues don't offer that. tickets seems to be selling fast too, especially considering today is the first day of the regular sale... of course many must have ended up on the secondary market.

Can anyone fill me in on how these work? Do I have to pay with an AMEX?

Also, I can't seem to find where it lists which specific seats I'm getting, when I select Best Available on the Rose Garden website.

Any other West-Coasters/Oregonians, let's get together and have a shroomy time for this show.

Very excited for this show. Got pre-sale tickets this morning, Seats 4 and 5, row 32.
