VIP Price and details on 24 karat tour ???
 

My wife is a huge Stevie fan and her dream is to meet her. OK I am a huge Nicks fan as well but I travel a lot to see other bands and enjoy all types of music while my wife on the other hand does not really enjoy any band but Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. Any ways I was wondering if anyone knows the details on the VIP deal. I have to do this for my wife and need info ASAP. I am trying to surprise her with a meet and greet , thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I'd count on any of the VIP packages including a meet and greet. There's no hint of that on anything on the site yet.

I have been reading info from a bunch of different sites , it is probably just a rumor but someone did mention meet and greets . I know Stevie Nicks does not like to do them or at least that is what I have heard but I am hoping. FINGERS CROSSED.

Does anyone happen to know if the VIP presale in the morning is Amex only?

Will have to do some traveling for this show, but I'm ok with that!! :blob2:

I have not really heard anything for sure. All I know is when you click on the VIP link on her site it kicks you back to Ticket Master. Price range for tickets are $35.35 to $145.50 plus a service fee. I wish the promoters of these events would come out with this info before tickets go on sale. Because after tickets go on sale you are stuck with what you can grab. Then there ya are , it sucks.

So far the only thing listed with the VIPs are tickets in the first five rows the next 10 rows and then up to the 20th row depending on your price range and each one includes a piece of special Stevie merchandise there's no meet and greet Listed and probably won't be. And based on other groups of her caliber and time like heart I would expect the prices to be between 3 and 500 a seat

Where did you see those listed Olive ? Do you have a link ?

4 ticket limit on all VIP packages , only thing I see on the Nashville show link.

Will a password be needed for the VIP presale, will one need an American Express card to pay for VIP seats ?

Yesterday there was a VIP page setup for her on her website and it had 3 boxes with three different pictures and it was gold levels silver level and premium level and you clicked it and got nothing it went back to the tour page and it just said Each one had a seat row limit and then a special piece of merchandise included

Thank you very much Olive, I found it but still no mention of price, looks like a meet and greet is out of the question again. We went to two shows during the On With The Show Tour and had great seats . The only meet and greet offered at the time was with Mick and she said Mick scared her and she was not interested in that , haha. I thought it would have been really cool to meet him but I will have to do that another day I suppose.
thanks again

I just got off the phone with Ticket Master , they were not much help but I did find out a password will be needed for the VIP presale package. Also one does not have to have an AMEX card to purchase the VIP tickets. If I find out more I will let you all know, thanks

I just messaged Ticket Master and they said they can not give me the password. This makes no sense . I have spent thousands with TM over the years and here I am willing to spend possibly another grand and they will not come off with the password.
I will get it my fellow FM fans and when I do I will post it right here for you all.

I messaged the Houston Toyota Center to see what the VIP prices are and here is what they said:

$560 for Gold Package
$475 for Silver Package
$390 for Premium Package

"Plus applicable service fees"

:eek:

Is that bad?

With no meet and greet and the fact that they haven't said what the merch is, I would say so. When I saw her with Rod Stewart I paid $150 for second row! And I paid $250 for sixth row for Fleetwood Mac! I just cannot imagine paying so much and no even be guaranteed front row or a meet and greet.

Just to put things into perspective. Last year I paid $300 for a ZZ Top VIP ticket package. It came with a front row seat, a meet and greet with a photo, one signed item and a small bag of merch. $560 is a crazy price just to see her alone . I might pay that to see the whole band if I was guaranteed front row. If I remember right not long ago $550 got you a seat in the first 5 rows and a meet and greet with Mic.

Well why would they ask for so much and why the big Arenas? The Pretenders have been sort of out of it...

Right, I am leaning towards just waiting until the ticket prices go down and sitting in the nose bleeds for this one. I really doubt there is any way she will fill the big arenas alone.I like her and hope she does but without the rest of FM ? :confused:

Just saw a commercial about the tour here in Philly. With the Pretenders. I must have been living under a rock - had no idea she was even touring. Here we go again for the mad ticket dash...

In classic Stevie fashion, I JUST found out about the tour TODAY, and tickets go on sale tomorrow (PRESALE). You've got to love her!! Planning has never been a strong suit of the Stevie Nicks PR TEAM/CONCERT PROMOTION. This whole thing was probably thrown together in the last week or so. Thanks goodness we have the Gold American Express card, so I'll be buying on presale day. That being said, I've been going to solo and FM concerts since 1977 and I won't miss this one.

Do you have any info as to what's required for the AMEX presale? Thanks.

You need an American Express card to pay for your tickets. I do know that much.

Not necessarily, maybe just a card number or some portion of one, as was suggested earlier.

Rant .Figures the presales are by AMEX with their BS.It never ends.WTF is wrong with freaking VISA. They are in cahoots with TicketBastard to just to get fans to sign up for their card to purchase tix.The whole tix industry should be looked at.No honest Abe's there.

Sorry about the attitude.

Wow. That's higher than I thought. The most I would pay is $500, nothing more. So I probably will just play the waiting game or buy some off of StubHub or Ticket Exchange. I'm not even going to try that presale tomorrow. I would have to borrow somebody's American Express card. I'm not too bummed because I know that most pre-sales don't yield very good seats anyway. In all the years I've tried pre-sales, I have only gotten lucky one time and that was in 2004 for Fleetwood Mac I put second row somehow.

From the Ticketmaster FAQ:

If you have an eligible American Express card the code for preferred tickets is the 10 digit customer service number on the back of your card. You must use an eligible American Express card for purchase.

Good luck everyone!

I believe just an AMEX card. This will be the first time I'm participating in the AMEX presale as we just recently got one. Otherwise, I've always had to wait for regular sale when many of the good seats are filled. I'll post back tomorrow after I try to purchase.

As for a MEET and GREET happening with the $560 VIP, I seriously doubt it will happen. I believe it only includes seats in rows 1-5 and a souvenir. Stevie doing meet and greets is EXTREMELY RARE.

Last time I went through this I was lucky enough to get into the presale with a friends number and pull tickets. Then I got to the checkout in record time with great seats. I attempted to pay with my Mastercard and it would not take my card . I had to wait until presale was over and ended up with nose bleeds because you have to use an AMEX card to pay for your tickets. Hence the name AMEX presale . Yes all you need is an AMEX card However I was told by TM VIP service that you do not need an AMEX card to purchase VIP tickets . All you need is any credit card and a password. I still have not found the password for VIP tickets because the jokers would not give it to me over the phone. Told me I should have got an email containing said password but I still have not received it.
One password I was able to find through the help of others is .......GOLD but that is a Facebook presale deal that will probably happen after the good seats are taken.

So, the AMEX presale and VIP packages are two separate entities, correct? If tomorrow is the regular old Amex presale, then those tickets are always crap.

Can we buy VIP packages tomorrow?

Yes there are two different presales tomorrow happening at the same time. I was told one does not have to have a AMEX card to purchase VIP tickets . One does need a credit/ debit card and THE PASSWORD. The password for the VIP presale still remains a mystery.

On LiveNation, for Boston and Mohegan it says the VIP packages are available to buy on Friday, not tomorrow. However, the AMEX presale does start tomorrow for those two shows. I only care about the VIP packages.

Something else that is not crystal clear is even if you have an AMEX card you still might need a password to purchase VIP presale tickets.

I e-mailed the VIP people at ticketmaster and here is what they told me:

Thanks for reaching out to us. The VIP package presale for Stevie Nicks should be a public presale. So, you should not need a password to buy VIP packages then.

It’s been my pleasure to assist you. Please let us know if you need anything else.

Sincerely,

That doesn't make much sense to me because why bother having a VIP presale separate from the VIP general public date? Doesn't "presale" by definition mean that it pre-dates the on sale date? Gotta love it.

I am not sure about other venues, but the Toyota Center says this: "VIP Packages are exclusive to AMEX card holders beginning on Sept. 7. They will become available to the general public starting on Sept. 9 at 10am."

So it looks like VIP is AMEX only for the first 2 days.

I thunk they like to use the presales as a way to convey that tickets will be hard to get, so you'd better grab whatever you can during the "exclusive presale"! This is all a ploy, of course. There will be plenty of tickets.

Never mind my last post. Looking more closely for the Mohegan sun date, the VIP presale date and time is the same as the General Public VIP sale date and time, so definitely don't need a special password for the VIP tickets. ;)

Wow... those prices are staggering considering how little you get as part of the VIP package. I daresay the "exclusive" gifts will consist of a VIP lanyard and a tote bag with a picture of Stevie. I guess they've gotten to the point where they just say, "Hey, the fans are paying for the seat - why bother with other niceties?"

I'm very disappointed. Looks like I won't be getting anywhere near the stage (yes, I'll still go. It's Stevie!)

Wow the promoters and Ticket Master are really screwed up on this one. This is what it says for Nashville. Onsale to General Public
