The VIP presale is the "Mick Fleetwood VIP package" which is $750 per ticket (seat in first 5 rows) and includes a Q&A, early entry into the venue, VIP host, lanyard, official tour merch item, autographed 8x10, photo session with Mick onstage.

I guess someone posted above that Knoxville has two-tiered M&G packages: one that is exclusively front row (and $100 dollars more = $850) and the other which is the $750 regular one. I don't know if this is true for other dates.

You buy these tickets like you normally would on Ticketmaster. There's a drop down menu to choose and one of the options should be "VIP."

The Facebook Presale just means that there is a code given out on Facebook when you "Like" the Live Nation page. I posted the link to the LV FM page above. I'm just assuming right now that the presale code is "MAC" because that's what it was on the first leg.

Thanks SadAngel86!

I have another newbie question for you guys...is buying tickets through StubHub safe? How does it work? I would hate to get to the door and find out I have a fake or non-transferable ticket. Missing the show AND losing a ton of money would be horrible!

There is NO risk buying from StubHub...if your tickets crap out at the door, you just call their customer service and you'll be upgraded to better seats. There is no upside to a seller cheating a buyer via Stubhub...the seller not only has the money taken out of their bank account-they also get banned from Stubhub.

Anybody used ticket liquidator before? I usually only use Stubhub but bought decided to go through ticket liquidator for the Pittsburgh show tomorrow. I am going to the fed ex to pick up the tickets I just worry because they don't seem to have the best reviews.

It's interesting to note in that last paragraph that the VIP service doing the meet & greet has changed from "Future Beat" to "On the List Presents." Maybe they did get complaints about wait times after all.

Nothing for me in the AMEX presale. Pulled a couple of floor seats way back, and then got "high demand" errors. Nothing came up for the M&Gs.

It's taking sooooo long for tickets to come up. The first one I got was for the upper deck at MSG for $221 each.

Had the exact same experience. Absurd. I'm going to three shows during this leg, but I think I'm only going to the next leg if I can get real good seats - which is apparently still quite difficult! :mad:

bethelblues 10-13-2014 09:54 AM

I'm not getting any floor seats in A B or C at MSG...the closer floor section.

And in the first tier, I keep getting the same sections on the far side of the arena, not close to the stage.

ETA: I got a 2nd row seat in Louisville for the M&G! :thumbsup: I have never splurged this much on a ticket before, but I decided to go for it this time. The closest I've been in the past was the 6th row, and Christine wasn't there.

and you won't those seats are Mick's or the "PLATINUM" seats( legal scalping ) at a much higher price and some
go directly to RESELLERS

Note to other AMEX presale buyers: if you choose "American Express Preferred Seating" option when buying, you may be offered good floor seats but at a cost of $3,250!! I finally chose "American Express Pre-sale" but by that time the lower level seats in St. Paul (@ $198) were 2/3 of the way back. I decided to get an upper-level seat closer to the stage for $98, which is OK since I was very close in Minneapolis on 9/30.

Oh man, I'm so glad I waited about 15 minutes into the sale. It was getting unbearable for me to always be seeing that never ending spinning circle. I was getting 200 level tickets initially too for the Rosemont show.

I almost bought tickets in the back of the arena farther back in a lower level section, but then a row AA came up in one of those sections and I snapped them right up. I was like what?! Even though it was in the back I've never gotten tix in the front row of a section before!:thumbsup:

Sierra- If you don't mind me asking- what was the price? I'm going to try during the next pre-sale (no AmEx card).

These prices are only for the 2/14/15 Rosemont show at the Allstate Arena (ticket prices vary by venue and city I've noticed. Please check with your venue website for specific details about your concert).

Without Ticketmaster fees: $189.50 (face value - i.e what's printed on the ticket)

With Ticketmaster fees: $189.50 + $14.50 (service charge) + $5.10 (order processing fee) = $209.10

This is just for one ticket.

-------------------------------

And speaking of getting "print at home" versus a regular paper ticket, I just wanted to let some know who didn't that the option for getting a paper stock ticket is buried underneath the "other delivery options" on Ticketmaster. It will always default to print at home, so you have to click the other delivery options and hit "standard mail" to get them delivered.
