Wow.With no fancy million dollar lightshow and a dozen of jumbo sized video screens to boot.

Whats left goes to the band and their retirement fund.They well earned it after all these years.

Fleetwood Mac Leads Top Tours Of 2015 On Secondary Market


2014 is now just a fleeting memory, overthrown by the calendar’s flip into the New Year. While pop music continues to grow and birth younger, edgier artists, historic rock outfit Fleetwood Mac has done its best to thwart Father Time following a monumental year. After posting the top-priced music tour of 2014 with the On With The Show Tour, the quintet will again reign supreme on the secondary ticket market in 2015.

With 40 more shows scheduled on its North American leg through April, Fleetwood Mac will own the only tour average on the secondary market that exceeds the $300 plateau. Maroon 5’s V Tour follows as a distant second, while Taylor Swift and Neil Diamond’s respective World Tours take the third and fourth slots. Chris Brown and Trey Songz’s joint Between The Sheets Tour rounds off the top five most expensive tours of the year.

Other artists that will embark on top-priced tours in 2015 include pop sensations One Direction, who take on stadium venues throughout North America this summer. Newcomers 5 Seconds of Summer, Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor will begin their first-ever headlining tours next month and have generated a strong ticket demand as pop radio mainstays. Australian native Iggy Azalea will also appear on the top tours list with her Great Escape Tour with Nick Jonas, serving as pop music’s last heavy hitters on the road in 2015.

Fleetwood Mac won’t be the only experienced rock group eliciting big ticket demand on the secondary market this year. U2 is slated to begin its iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE World Tour in May while The Who continues its 50th anniversary celebration in April. Bob Seger will also burn rubber across North American highways when he brings his Ride Out Tour to select arenas beginning later this month.

Are you kidding me LOL
16 years without Christine and a reunion that no one ever said would happen. Only 3 months after the tour began you want them to stop?
The tour started Sept 30 so they only toured Oct to mid December and it is successful they extended it a few months. Let them play and give this to the fans. There was no way anyone thought this would happen.
People would complain if they only toured 20 shows. Now people complain if they tour 5 months. I feel so fortunate to see them twice this tour. And if they came back again, I would see them again too.

I’ve always been a huge Fleetwood Mac fan, but won’t pay $50 to sit in the back needing binoculars or $180 for a close seat! Although I basically wish them well, I sort of hope there are a lot of empty seats.
