He (as if you didn't know) started accepting reservations . There were no actual tickets.

Of course, after some additional twists and turns, it all fell through and this individual had to return all this money. :lol:

Funny stuff. Actually, there were no "twists and turns". Several fans berated the idea and went to great lengths to see that it did not happen - even going as far as to contact John Kinney at the NicksFix. Ultimately, this led to him posting a message on the Fix that there were no concerts being planned and that the rumours were false. That killed the event and all plans to move forward with the event were canceled.

If I'm not mistaken, they were also going to try to load up the contract with stipulations about greeting fans, etc.

You are mistaken. There were no stipulations about greeting fans, set lists, etc. Only wild fantasies from a few vocal fans.

You would be surprised at how many people parted with their cash to see this thing happen. Ultimately, it wasn't meant to be. But after years of discussion on several boards, at least it was attempted by a very ambitious (although probably a bit naive at the time) fan with sincerest intentions.
