ATLANTA show on May 15th!!

[mylittledemon]

Let it be known that I will pay whatever I have to (lets be reasonable!) for a front row ticket to this show. I either want to be right in front of Stevie, or right in front of Lindsey. Preferably Lindsey, but whatever. I am going to this concert alone, so I wanted to post this in case someone else is in the same boat. If so, we can go in on tickets "together" because most likely front row seats are in pairs. Let me know...I'll do just about anything.

I'm also going to this show and would love, love, love front row tickets! I am going with someone though and will be flying to Atlanta, so I really don't want to be too risky and play that game where you wait until the last minute! So I may be crazy and buy multiple set of tickets if really good seats end up popping up in the end.

I wonder where the Atlanta show will be...some have said probably Hi Fi Buys Amp...

I'd prefer the Arena at Gwinett Center

I'm not doing the $500 fan club thing...it wont guarantee me a front row seat. The only thing that that package has going for it is the autographed tour book.

I hope it is at Philips arena, which is downtown and within walking distance to the hotels. They played at philips last June and it was a nice place. I feel like an expert now that I have been to Atlanta!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I saw them at Philips last June in Atlanta, as well as The Arena at Gwinett Center in Atlanta in September, which I thought was a much nicer arena..

I liked the fact that it WASN'T downtown...lol..i hate downtown Atlanta...and they actually had a FREE parking lot, not a costly parking deck.

According to www.fleetwoodmac.com, they are playing at Chastain Park! I cannot believe that, it is such a tiny venue! It will be great though, Chastain is a cool place.

But sheesh...it's going to be tough to get good seats. They have that deal with series ticket holders who get to buy up seats first. Or something. It's kind of weird.

Oh well. It wouldn't be a FM show if there wasn't stress over getting a good seat...

Chastain Park sucks

A bit of advice, make sure you get tickets up close because anything past half way back is VERY hard to hear based on my experience and I have been going there for 10 years. Also, it is a totally open arena, so bring an umbrella.

The plus side is it is right by my house (about a mile).

Lol...yes, if you're far back, it does suck. I've been 3 times...when I saw Stevie in '94, I was in row Z or something and the sound did suck. But I saw Chris Isaak on the 2nd row (on the side) and Stevie in the 1st row (on the side). Those were great shows, up close to a smaller stage and right in line with the sound.

So yeah...unless I'm down in front, I won't go to that show. But think positive, Strand! You might get lucky with tix...

But oh yeah...I forgot about it being out in the open. A wicked storm rolled in before the TISL show and I was worried they'd cancel the show. Gulp...

I was at most of those as well. Luckily a frined of mine lives directly across the street from the back of the venue. I usually go on his roof and have cocktails with him and watch most shows for free But, for The Mac, I'll pay

That's really odd for a Fleetwood Mac show to be at Chastain...hmmm wasnt expecting that one...It's a nice venue, small, intimate....but usually not a place for a big loud band like the Mac.

Isn't that the truth! People wonder why I have been looking stressed lately.

What part of Atlanta is the venue near? I want to go but after the stress that I had with tickets at Gwinnett I don't know now.

Well I was just looking at their website and there is something called a "Rock set-up" where the tables are taken out and it is less intimate, I guess.

But, will they be selling tickets for this on ticketmaster? I am sooooooooo stressed! I really want great seats, so does anyone have any tips on how to get good seats to a small place like this (where season ticket holders get first dibs)?

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Yes they did this for Stevie's show at Chastain in 2001...it was a "NO TABLE SHOW" which is rare for Chastain shows...Chastain DOES have a sound ordinance after a certain time, so the band better hurry up and get on stage...I'm not sure the details on that new rule there...

Yes, ticketmaster DOES sell Chastain show tickets, but Chastain's tickets are also available at LOTS of other places..newspapers, season holders, etc.

Stevie's first show at Chastain in 2001 was sold out soon, so you can only imagine what the Fleetwood Mac show will be like...

It probably will sell out in any seat you want to sit in the day it is released. Chastain is very popular and most people have season tickets as part of packages, etc. My advice is keep trying or pay a scalper.
