From what I've heard and seen its before the show starts so they are at the front for the entire show but its only on Lindsey's side. If you're in front of Stevie or Christine nobody gets moved up front and only front row is allowed to go up. Its totally different from 2009 and 2013 where they let up the first 3-5 rows in all the front sections.

My friend went to Buffalo on Saturday and said a steady stream of young girls were being let up. She said it was both Ian and Justin who were bringing them up. She had 3rd row and didn't manage to get up until later in the show.
She also said that the girls were being placed all the way down the stage not just near Lindsey.
Not sure why the policy about getting up front has changed but 2009 was the best. The band had the nicest staff working for them.

Wow thats crazy! At the Pittsburgh show only the first row was let up on Stevie & Christine's side it was insane. My friend and I were 3rd row and they were sending people back the entire time. The security guard stood there until the last note of the last song was played but meanwhile on Lindsey's side it was a free for all.
2013 was so much better they let the first 3 rows up front. I thought it was odd that half the people on Stevie's side where my hubby and I were never went up so I had a good 15 feet of space all by myself. In 2009 I had front row so was already at the front but they let the first 5 rows up and it was packed but everybody was very respectful and didnt try to get in front of me or anything.

Wow. Unacceptable. I didnt want to chime in earlier until i got all the facts. I agree with Patti, it is completely unacceptable and out of control. Fleetwood Mac is very lucky the fans in the front row in each city havent gotten together and filed a class action lawsuit. Someone said in a earlier post they were told if they were not sitting in their seat they forfeited their seat. Legally, when you purchase a ticket that seat belongs to you for the entirety of the show. You can get up and get a drink, go to the bathroom, etc and be able to come back to your seat. Also, when you purchase a front row ticket you have an expectation of an unobstructed view. This is where (from a legal standpoint) fleetwood mac could lose a lawsuit.

If they brought the girls up with only one song left, i would be more flexible and say well the same thing happens at a stevie nicks show with the edge walk....but it is completely unacceptable to do it with more than one or two songs left. They need to be careful allowing this to happen, because if the fans get together they will sue the mac for damages. Its not like the can say they didnt know their staff was doing this. One time, yes. City after city, no.

They do let the front row up first but not the second or third and this includes Mick's VIP ticket holders. They are all held back while at least 20 or more young girls are let up to the front escorted by Ian and ironically Justin who does the Mick VIP meet and greets.

I find the security people standing in the aisle more disruptive than anything. If you're close the the aisle, you have to deal with a continuous line of people trying to come up for a picture and the security guy screaming in their ear to go back to their seats. For almost three hours straight, it's a continual confrontation between people and security sending them back to their seats. At least, that's what it was in Columbus. The line was backed up the entire length of the front section, one by one they all came up and took a picture and security told them to go back to their seats.

And that's why I pretty much part of the reason I hate seating gigs unless you've got a damn good seat, gives security an excuse to be complete a-hole's to put it politely.
