Another Pre-Show Party Cancelled
 

I got this email today. We will be refunded $50 fo the cancellation:

Dear Fleetwood Mac Uniondale 5 Star fan,

Due to logistical issues, there will not be a pre-show party at the Uniondale Fleetwood Mac show at the Nassau Coliseum on March 13th, 2009. All other package details remain: a Mick Fleetwood meet & greet (if you chose it), a ticket in the first 10 rows, a 5 Star souvenir laminate, exclusive Fleetwood Mac gift bag, parking (where available), hassle free entrance to the venue, crowd-free merchandise shopping and a discount coupon to the Fleetwood Mac online store.

We will refund $50 per package to the credit card used to make your purchase. Please note it may take 5-10 business days to credit to your account.

We will email your 5 Star itinerary 5 days before your show.

Holy Moly! Thanks for this Michele.. I feel bad for the people who were looking forward to this!

Logistics my ass. Why were there no logistics problems when they made the offer and collected people's money. And now there is. There just aren't enough people who bought the package to make it worth their (small amount of) effort. They should refund more than that and give you food and drink coupons for the vendors at the stadium.

Is anyone really surprised about this? With all the info people have posted about how they've been screwed by ILAA in the past, this is really just par for the course.

I think the 5-Star Package should include membership in the actual band.

:laugh: And I can see you saying that with a straight face too. :laugh:

I was thinking that very same thing, and am cracking up laughing.. ROTFL

Arlene, you've gotta love David for bringing some levity to all of this madness.

Oh absolutely! Who couldn't love David? LOL :p

They did the same thing for our party... I am not upset, as long as they don't cancel our M&G. Now, I could be a little pissy about that. Did you get the M&G, or just the 5?

No I didn't get the meet and greet. I wasn't interested in the pre-show party anyway. I just want a good concert ticket. If I not in row 1 or 2, I will be an unhappy camper. Michele

It's for the 13th, right? Well, get back with me about it. We will compare experiences. Have you used ILAA before? I am hoping I get row 1 or 2, but I will be happy regardless. It will be the FIRST time I have ever been that close, to this band, ever. So guarantee me the first ten rows, I am down with that. :D

No, I have never done ILAA before. Michele

Well, gal, we are both in it for the first time. I am beyond myself. Can I tell you because my partner is beginning to go MAD with my Mac-Madness. I got a fever... and the only perscription... is MORE MAC! I need more mac! LOL I can barely rest now. All I can think about is where will I be? What will happen? How will all of this go down? Have you got your secret email about where to meet and stuff? We did and I squealed! - Like a piggy, lol... I look forward to the suprise. It's almost like being pregnant... Is it a boy? Is it a girl? (Maybe not the exact same as the sex of your child, but I get my analogy depth from the Stevie Nicks, lol.)

Most people say that you get awesome seats. There are a few that don't. I am not sure what that is about. I have theories, however; about how the packages are closed almost 2 weeks before the show and then all these GREAT seats on STUBHUB disappear... Another thing is... I think the seats that ILAA does NOT sell do go straight back to Ticketmaster. So should we have waited for Ticketmaster? I guess, but I am not that patient.

My only thought is... What will I do if I get there and I am in the front row? Will I be able to control myself? Will I fall apart ala Micheal Jackson, or the Beatles? What will I do if I got 10th row? My guess is that so few people bought these packages that we have nothing to worry about. What are your thoughts on the issue?

At the Pittsburgh show, I had 3rd row center which I paid for at face value from Ticketbastard. About 20 minutes after my friend & I sat down, the ILAA people came in, and there were not that many of them. Maybe 6 or so got the front row seats in front of us, a few were put in the second row, and then 3 more were put beside me in the 3rd row, with one empty seat directly between us & them. I am not sure if there were other ILAA people in the other floor sections or not, but that was for center floor. I dunno if that helps or not, but the guys in the row with me did do the M&G with Mick and said he was lovely.

There were ILAA people in my section and they had front row center seats.
They talked about seeing the backstage area and meeting Mick.

^^^^

Ahh, I wasn't sure if they were spreading them out or something, since I only noticed the folks right by me. I did think, "Wow, that is not many people at all," though, lol. They all had tote bags crammed full of stuff.

Did ya get a peak as to what was inside? LOL

I didn't see what was inside, but I saw their little laminated passes around their necks. Michele

I heard that the 4* people got like key chains and things. Now, that tote has me VERY INTERESTED... I wanna know what was in it! LOL Especially, if it was, "crammed full" of stuff...

I did not see what was in the bags, either, but they were all wearing their little tags like Michele said. The bags themselves were the ones being sold at the merch tables, I do know that. Sorry I don't have better info for ya, chief.

No no, your info was top notch. Sorry that I grilled ya about it. I am just so psyched. We are leaving day after tomorrow to get up to Michigan, and stay the night. The show is Sunday so I will be able to relax the entire day knowing I am only 2 miles from the venue. I am all about that.

You will have a total blast. I'd venture a guess that there was at least a tshirt in the bag. Some folks had put their own stuff in there, too, though, so...haha. You'll have to let me know what was in them, because I couldn't figure out how to politely ask anyone if I could rootle around in their personal belongings for research purposes.

So, there was a pre-party ILAA offering too? Can someone laydown the various offerings...what you receive/price.
I'm curious...or, if you would, you can provide a link to the specifics if that would be easier for you.
Thanks in advance :)

How much was it for the tickets?

Here is the deal: iloveallaccess.com go down to Fleetwood Mac at the bottom. You will need the following password: unleashed Go to what date you are interested in and follow the instructions. Basically, you get hassle free entrance in to the venue. You have preshow drinks (wine and beer.) You may get a preshow party with dinner and drinks... You get to shop before any of the crowd gets in. You are guaranteed a seat in rows 1-10. Now you could get the Meet and Greet, but it is usually one hundred more. ILAA keeps you updated. Whenever anything is cancelled, or changed they update you and send you a refund. In the beginning we paid 1840 for two tickets. After all of the refunds and stuff we now are only paying 1540... Which pays for our trip (gas and fast food...)

I don't wanna talk anyone into it becasue it is a lot of money!!! However: it sounds like it is going to serisouly rock... So- we will see!

I am going to the Uniondale show, and I noticed last week ticketmaster
is selling better seats. Your right, if stubhub does not sell the tickets, it
goes back to ticketmaster to sell. So the day before might be a good
time to check for tickets.
I have side row tickets.

I pulled up (and bought) 8th row and 2nd row this week. :thumbsup: If ILAA does not grant front row by default, there is definitely something amiss.

I think that there is something REALLY tricky going on with the ticket business. We need a mole to infiltrate enemy lines and find out what the deal is... Seriously. We could make it a 20/20 deal... And blow the lid off the seedy underbelly on the ticket industry. LOL
