I'm greatly saddened that my fellow Ledgies and the average fan are paying such ridiculous prices to see a band perform music. We should have collectively given them the middle finger. Not just FM but all live acts that want to rape us of our hard earned money. For those prices we should get a different show every night. They should set up a ten show arc where if you go see them 10 night's in a row you will have a completely different show. THAT would be worth the price of admission and then they could play all the songs from their back catalogue in addition to the tired hits they have to play.
I couldn't agree more...sorry Mick, not going to pay that much to see you guys, and gal, but still love ya!
That said, I will pay a few bucks to hear some new music if we ever get that new album. But live, the band is well past their prime and without our beloved Christine, no amount of backing musicians is going to bridge the gap.

Tickets to see British/American rock band Fleetwood Mac on tour in the UK this autumn sold out this morning in just minutes.

Despite controversy over prices, fans have snapped up tickets, leaving those with enough cash looking to buy theirs on resale ticket sites like Mirror Tickets.

Tickets are still available on resale sites, if you are prepared to fork out more than face value.

Question Hmm...

I'm wondering how many actual FANS bought these tickets as opposed to
brokers and for resale at ridiculously outrageous amounts on Ebay?

Just because they SOLD OUT, doesn't mean actual fans are getting these tickets, I'd imagine.

Although, it does seem as though this tour is more popular overseas, so who knows.

Yes, on the official "Bercy" site it says there are no more tickets for the first 20 rows but then i found like 60 of those seats for 300 to 500 euros each. Ridiculous and also sad because i could have gotten closer i'm sure

WOW. That was quick.
I'm sure Paris will be their only non-sold out European show. There are still 2000 available seats...

I received an email from Fleetwood Mac.com saying "This run of the concerts will be nothing short of legendary." They sound like Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother.

Exclamation Legendary?

Wow, they have a HUGE amount of hype to live up to. I have not bought any tickets to the Dallas show, because I just didn't wanna hear the same old setlist, but now I'm wondering. Is it going to be THAT radically different from past tours?

I think I will still wait until after they start the tour to try to find tickets.

I think that now that everything is sold out, we will without a doubt hear the same old setlist. They'll play what all these people want to hear.

Don't curse in Church, Christy. You belong there.Buy a ticket. And get your ass over there. Let's be fair. Whatever commercial monster they are, this band deserves a hype every ten or fifteen years. And lindsey Will rip it apart again, as always. You and I have a mission in life, apart of being good people, we belong at a Fleetwood Mac concert.
