I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but it just hit me...are they out of their #$@! minds? $147?!!

They've got a damned cheek in the current economic climate. I wouldn't see them even if they decided to go to Europe. I absolutely refuse to line their pockets further.

I'm saying, it is ridiculous... but the thing is, how many more times is this band likely to tour? Therefore, do you pay the money to go see them??? It leaves me in a pickle.... and I don't like pickles.

It's a lounge act now, as far as I am concerned. This 'hits' tour, and the re-release of Rumours (yet again), have left a very sour taste in my mouth. They're well past their best and I don't want to see them again. I would rather remember them as they were, at their height.

Have you seen them before?

I'm gladly and proudly buying scalped tickets at 8:46 p.m. on the day of the Boston show. Once the crickets start chirping and the first strains of 'The Chain' are played the scalpers slash their prices to more than half the actual ticket price. I'm bringing 70 bucks, no ATM card, and I plan on having a few beers that night too. If I don't get in, WAH! I won't get to hear FM songs performed by 10 back up singers, 15 guitarists, 5 keyboard players, and 9 drummers. Only one bass needed, of course.
Those @#$@# greedy baby boomers...typical.

Exactly. They haven't put out any new material in 6 years now, and it's beginning to look like they won't again. I would be somewhat more tolerant of them if they were supporting new material, but they're not. This is just another blatant cash grab, without a doubt their most blatant to date. At least with the Dance they had a few new songs... this time around we get bupkiss. The fact that they're demanding these insane ticket prices in this economy is pouring salt on the wounds too. I think about the only way I'd go see them this time around is if I were guaranteed they'd play Sisters Of The Moon. I have now heard Insider and Sara in concert... now if I could hear Sisters I'd die a happy man .

Everyone knows that this tour is a cash grab, so why am I going? I'm going to bring my kids to see FM live for the first time. I took them to see Lindsey's UTS tour, and now they're begging to see FM. I also want Lindsey to be able to afford more solo tours, which I enjoy more than FM at this point.

For myself that would be December of 1979..I think this time I'll stay home and relive that show.A great band at it's artistic zenith..and the end of an era ..in so many ways.

I don't know. I'm sort of torn. I'd like to see them again. I saw them for the first time in 2003, but they don't have any new material this time. It's just a greatest hits tour right now. And ticket prices are high. I did pay quite a lot for U2 (seeing them for the first time), but they had new material & even though I was in the nosebleed section during that show, it was really worth it. I'm not sure it would be really worth it for FM. Maybe if I got good seats, but I doubt that I'd be able to. I'd go to the Philly show. It's also bad that the show in the middle of the week. If they released some new material & then toured, it would be a different story for me anyway.

It's fine to call them a lounge act once you've seen them, and although I'd rather hear some new material or some concert rarities at a gig, I've never seen them before so I'll take what I can get. (Which, at the moment, is nothing since they haven't announced any Europe dates, but you know what I mean!)

Lounge acts don't get to play arenas. They play lounges.

That's why I won't be seeing them.
