The Columbus premiums are still over 2000 dollars. I am looking at going to the show but I want a good seat. I am surprised they haven't lowered the price yet.

Yeah, they are scalping their own tickets. Ticketmaster is, and always has been, shady.
Like...they had a class action suit. I got an email ... maybe 2 years ago...saying that they had over-charged everyone on service charges and I would be getting an automatic refund the following April for up to 5 tickets purchased during that time (not the whole price--but just the service charge).
Good thing I didn't hold my breath, because...never saw a dime.
And, for all the self-congratulatory stuff going on...there is no way some of these venues have sold out. Or even sold out sections. They hold onto tickets hoping to get better prices through their own scalping or ... I'm pretty sure...through other brokers. Those tickets eventually find their way back to ticketmaster's regular sales.

Hello,

I am new here. Been a fleetwood mac fan since listening to them growing up.

Saw them in 2009 and doing the meet and greet package this year.

What I don't understand is these platinum tickets are so over priced on ticket master don't people realise that it is cheaper to buy a meet and greet for the first 20 rows for £250?

The only thing I can think of is that people don't know about mick fleetwoods website that is selling these?

Also you guys probably already know this but they only release probably a third of the tickets including crap seats in the beginning to create hype.

I reckon nearer the time they will become available at face value.

It is a shame that genuine fans have to jump through hoops to get their hands on a ticket.

Welcome to The Ledge. It's always a pleasure having new members. I look forward to your written contributions. I always get a laugh out of someone writing what you wrote here. You indicate you've been a fan for a long time but you forgot to say how old you are and at what point in time you became a fan. Just from what you said it could mean you have been a fan for 5 years or 30. One never knows.

don't you know that it's not polite to ask people their age?
