Soundstage
 
The Club pulled one off for the members... they have held 84 seats of the 300 person Soundstage for Club members. My email went to a Spam directory because of the subject line, so I wanted to make sure everyone knows. I'm told that there are more great things like this in the works for Club members, but this is a very good step toward realizing the benefits of being a Club member. Kudos to the Band management and the Club for this great chance to see Lindsey and Stevie in this intimate venue for free.

WIN TICKETS TO SEE LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM TAPING A PBS TV SPECIAL

As you may know Lindsey Buckingham will perform September 15, 2003 at the
WTTW TV Studio in Chicago. The taping will be in front of an intimate
Audience and it is expected that Stevie Nicks will make a special guest
appearance for a song or two. The show will be a part of the PBS
"Soundstage " series and will be broadcast nationally at a later date.

In keeping with PBS practice, a number of tickets were made available
locally through PBS Chicago affiliate WTTW in return for a subscription to
the local affiliates pledge drive. However, the fan club has secured a
limited number of these tickets, including seven pair in the front row,
seventeen pair in the second through fourth rows and eighteen pair general
admissions, specifically for fan club members FOR FREE. You will have the
chance to win a pair of these tickets to experience this intimate
performance. We will hold a random drawing for these tickets on Monday
September 8, 2003 after 5PM Pacific Time.

To be eligible for a chance to win a pair of tickets for this special
event, simply send your NAME, CLUB USER NAME and YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER to
[email protected] with ³WIN LINDSEY@PBS CHICAGO² in the Subject Line.


***DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS MONDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2003, 5 PM PACIFIC TIME***

The winners will be announced in an email blast to all members on Tuesday,
September 9, 2003.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY TICKETS WILL BE GIVEN AWAY, NOT TRAVEL OR
ACCOMODATION.

If you are one of the lucky winners and have already purchased tickets to
this performance, the FAN CLUB will PURCHASE your tickets back from you and
make them available to another Fan Club Member.

What? Your not staying for dinner?



You have quite a few people waiting to hear from you.

gldstwmn 09-05-2003 06:11 PM

Wow. Let me make sure I have this straight. After (PBS) selling tickets for $325 and assuring people that there was no reserved seating, the Fan Club has decided to "randomly" pick who is going to sit in the best seats in the house? Why doesn't this make me feel warm and fuzzy inside?

Cour 09-05-2003 06:22 PM

Everytime you think they can't make this experience any worse...

Let's not forget that the people who win will barely have a moment to book a flight which would mean that they would only be eligible for the most expensive fares.

That aside...


What the hell would someone from the fanclub do who bought the tickets and now has to eat them or try to find someone in Chicago to give them to.



As for the seating and the way this was done. everytime Jonathan Tood get's near something the fans get screwed. While it would be great for someone to win these tickets, how many people can rearrange their schedule on less than a weeks notice and pay for a full price airline ticket and hotel costs.



Maybe the people who bought the tickets should be calling the station and making some major complaints and the people from the fanclub can sit in the rear...after all....when you're lucky enough to belong to the FLEETWOOD MAC SCAM CLUB you know you're going to have the worst seats in the house.


I still cannot believe this.

What about those who don't belong to the fan club and have already purchased tickets and made travel arrangements?

Watchdevil22 09-05-2003 06:45 PM

I agree that it would have been nice to give more notice so arrangements could be made in advance and for less money to get to the taping...but I still think this is a really cool thing for the fan club to do.

I hope some people from the Ledge get free tickets!!

seeknpeace 09-05-2003 06:46 PM

Yipeeee....woohoo...yayayayaya...NOT.

The fan club said that it will buy back your tickets if you win and provide them to another member.

Now, you guys tell me. A club that cannot answer the simplest to hardest question, who has abused the fans, insulted them, taken their money and given them nothing in return, now they have the wherewithall to provide these seats and do all this in this short period of time?

I cannot wait to hear how this one goes off. Cause JT is firing the gun. God Pix loves his boss. He is just drooling and carrying on. What is he gonna do when the hiney he kisses is not there anymore? Well, I guess we all have some suggestions, huh?

Bet you a dollar to donuts that the fan club had little to nothing to do with this gift. I think that I know who did.

I hope that lots of great fans are helped and I hope that it is all for real, but, I would not bet nor hold my breath. Too many bad vibes, scenes and troubles from this club.

No doubt... I hope ALL tickets go to LEDGIES... then I can make FREE tee-shirts for them saying:

That'd get their attention! :lol: :lol:

glitter_fades 09-05-2003 08:20 PM

After everything that's happened, who really believes JT's behind this act of generosity to the fans? I'm with you, peace. I feel it's being done in response to the outrage against the fan club, but my thanks goes out to those listening and taking action.

All I can say is, where was this kind of bounty when I was still a member of the club? ;)

Thanks anyway, on behalf of the gypsies that remain.

Lets see how many winners are the lap dogs of that other site, and how many are the big mouths over here who paid the same good money to join the club and still have nothing to show for it.

Who's taking bets?

gldstwmn 09-06-2003 12:36 AM

I really don't want the image I have of Buckingham Nicks being bastardized via association with the Fleetwood Mac Fan Club. Is nothing still sacred?
I don't, gazing into my crystal ball, see any of the more outspoken Ledgies coming up a winner in this.
I'm really warming up to the idea of Stevie making another solo record after this and touring to promote that.

Just as long as Mick doesn't convince her that she needs her own fan club and tells her that he knows some people that can help her. Krikey.

And nothing like waiting until the last minute to be helpful and let everyone know :rolleyes: *Thanks God she didn't waste money on the fanclub*

I got this message last night, and considering how "accurate" and "timely" this organization has been with info.......

I don't believe a word of it.

Especially the part about them having these tickets, and more especially the part about Stevie just being there for a song or two. I'm certainly not basing any expectation I have for it on anything they say.

I will be at this show, and it be interesting to see who gets these tickets.

What a bunch of crap.

They are giving away over 80 tix to an exclusive show... Leave it to the five of you to speak for everyone and say this is a bad deal.

You gripe that the Club never does anything for it's members then they give away 80 tickets and all you can do is find faults with it.

How many board members are on this board? I think the reason that most of them don't say anything is that you will take after them just like you do anyone who doesn't agree with your view of how things are.

The other thread when you guys came after me... How many of you were there? What? The same 5-7 people that have nothing good to say even when the Club does something good.

Hey I guess you 5 speak for everyone on the board right? I mean it's always the same people. I know there are a great number of people on the board. I don't post here for you 5. I post for the others that might actually want the info. You five are not the only people on this board.

You can say what you like, but this makes you look foolish when they are giving away 80 tix for fans and all you can do is bash them for it, or make unfounded accusations of conspiracy

I notice that you did not bother to answer any of the questions I put to you in the other thread. Big surprise, memories of Jonathan Todd ignoring the important things and addressing what suits his agenda.


You keep trying to prove all of us wrong, Trinity! You are showing more of your true colors just like the sweet curse words you were showing in your other thread. Keep using your filthy language over on this board and save that silver tongue for your true friends over on your own site.


You're here for the moment, don't get too comfortable in your new found freedom of speech, you're on a pass right now.

i think its wonderful that the club is doing this,, however , if they club had been doing what it promised all along this would be even better.
whose getting the tix is another story.

let me get this straight , your posting here on the ledge to the members of your club/board to inform them ??????

hmmm i thought your club sent out emails to notify its members.if i remember correctly someone of this board who is a member of your board posted it here and they had reservations about the whole thing themselves. so why you need to come here and post to your members here is still beyond me.. they got the email from the club , you or whoever already informed them, you know Jim you are acting like your boss, always putting a spin on things. you work real close to him we can alll see that. and you are the one who looks like the fool.

as far as the club be commended for doing well..its kinda to little to late. when someone pays a fee, the perks should be for everyone, i know thousands cant attend the show, but what have the fans gotten all along except banned ...let it go.. it seems the board here has been quiet about the club, just talking lightly here and there about it ,but you are the one who caused this. sorry to the ledgies for posting to him, but sometimes you cant help it. and as far as the so called member s on here who dont speak up, for fear of being jumped on they are just your ppl , not any ledgies who have really been known on here.

I'm not here to answer your questions Cour. I will post about what I like and not be dictated to by you. Oh yes, my nasty language... Yes I think I said ****. Your right that is bad. I mean how could I say that when people have call me penis breath and the Devil etc etc. You better take a look at your own house before you start talking about my language.

Have I ever resorted to name-calling? No. Can you say the same about others here? I will however make sure not to use any curse word in the future. I was a little hot about being called gay and sucking **** in another thread.

I apologize if I offending anyone by saying ****... I will not do it in the future. It seems rather mild in comparison to what some have posted here.

Sorry, just had to say that the difference is that we are not kicking ppl off of another board for saying that, for conducting themselves like you are over here. That is a double standard. If it is wrong for us to do over there, it is wrong for you to do it here. I am in, and I am out.

Not mystifying at all. Trinity smells the end is near and is trying to mend fences now. Everyone is truly touched by his generosity now that all of his help is of no use to anyone here. He couldn't show his face around here when people needed it and he threw us out of his own board, but suddenly he wants to belong.

Cour... I don't smell the end. If it does end so be it. I don't have to live on a board, and frankly this kind of stuff it taking way to much time. I'm not trying to engraciate myself to anyone here.

I'm not looking for acceptance from you Cour I don't need or want it.

I'm out for now, and I would hope that we can keep on topic in the future. Ya Right. :)

If something happens and I'm no longer an admin or the board ever closes I will be content with going to concerts and enjoying FM.

But where have you been the last 5 months? That's such a tough question to answer

Enjoy your night too and remember that every time you come over here and stir the pot by trying to prove you're right and make some kind of point, you're continuing to take something away from the fans who have had enough of this fanclub and mickfleetwood debacle for the last 8 months.


You want peace? Stop trying to prove your point and when people ask you a question and you don't want to answer, your motives remain questionable.

Mild in comparison to what?


Here's your post that started us down this road.....I'd say it was a little more than saying ***** when you went and lost your civility.





PIX:

"Christ you're paranoid. Start your own friggn petition. I didn't even start one. Gimme a break I could give a **** who you are. If I wanted to know I already would.

I'm just trying to give (others) a heads up on this… but I must have some kind of motive… If I didn't want you to know who I was I never would have signed my other name at the bottom of posts.

I knew you would come after me, but I don't give a **** about that either... I'm not posting here for you bitter people that seem to think I'm some sort of evil person. Oh be careful... what he could get your name and....??? Just what the hell would I want with it? Gimme a break... move on.

I will continue to come over and post for those that I think would like to know... For those of you that don't like me fine. I don't like you either.

You assume that I have started a petition, which I have not. There was already a conspiracy and nothing has even been done. You come up with the craziest **** like someone attacked your computers for bitching at Micks… Utter and complete BS. You come up with BS like I was flown here or got front row seats there. Again, you are completely wrong. I could show where I paid for every front row, which I won’t, but even if I did you would scream that I was reimbursed. I suppose they gave me the tickets that I gave away out of my own pocket too?

I'm not going to read your response to this because I know your just going to come up with more unfounded BS. If I think there is something the rest of the board needs to know about I will post. I will not however, read anymore of you paranoid fantasy"

_________________________________________________________________



Stop trying to shift the blame here, no one was calling you names in the start of this thread. How come you don't treat your friends over on your site to these types of posts, Oh...they can bash because they're protecting you. Your job is to watch out for everyone, not just the treasured few. Where were you when your people went after Missyren recently, how come you didn't protect them? Yeah, you don't want to answer questions, I forgot.






As for staying on topic, you started the slugfest with your poetic post above and you don't get to control the topics here, you don't get to lock the threads and you don't get to ban the posters.




Thanks for the apology but it's not the one we've been waiting for, we won't be holding our breath.

Well folks, according to Burnish, someone has spoken with Lindsey's management and Jonathan Todd and company had nothing to do with this. They were merely trying to take credit for it. The tickets were supposedly put up by Tony Dimitriades, Lindsey's manager and the drawing will be done by someone from East End Management. How it fell to the Fan Club and it's minions to get the word out is still a mystery. Stay tuned.

If this is true...OMG...how low can it go? The club's taking credit for something the management's doing! Why am I not surprised? Tony D. is the bomb. I believe he's behind this more than JT. How can we verify that East End's doing the drawing and not the fan club? So many people don't trust the fan club and would be afraid to send them an email. Can anyone find out where the emails will be going and that an East End employee is handling it? That would really set a lot of fans' minds at ease.

Thank you, Mr. D. for doing this. Any comment, Pix?

I will call them on Monday, although I truly believe this is true. I thought it the minute that I heard it. When I first saw the email, I dismissed it out of hand as it came from JT and I assumed that the info was to be sent to JT. I would eat briars before I send anything to him. So, I saved it to my files and did not give it much hope. However, once I began thinking, I thought that Tony was behind this and then when Tracy posted it, I have no doubt. I will verify it though for us all on Monday.

Shame on the fan club. Makes me sick to my stomach. Hey, TRIN THIS IS WHY WE DON'T TRUST YOU...DO YOU GET IT YET? Trin is the one who praised the fan club for this. Wow, what a great thing they DID NOT do for us. Again.
