I think this is great news. At the very least it's gurantee the 5 of them will need,to be together and won't be off in 5 different directions. Maybe it's being overly optimistic but,maybe They are cordinating doing more recording around this concert.

Ooooh. Makes me want to do something unreasonable, for a seat that I know won't even be a good one.

well, there were just 900 guests for their first gala in april, so there might not be bad seats, if there is something similar in july. all seats were around the tables by the stage in the centerfield.

If seating is anything like the Huggie Bears fund raiser they performed for in 2009 in the Hamptons, it will be very intimate seating and crowd size will be limited.admission price was about the same then,and there were celebrities galore in the crowd and seated in 'general admission'. Only the big Pooh-Bahs like mayor Bloomberg took the big $$ seats . If I were in the CA area I would definitely go

Yes .Fast money for them. Its local for them.Not travel expense for them.

Hi Wayner .Its nice to see you on here again.

This amused me... from the "invitation" on the Dodgers' website

Fleetwood Mac is a British-American rock
band formed in July 1967, in London.
The band has sold more than 100 million
records worldwide, making them one of the
best-selling bands of all time. In 1998,
selected members of Fleetwood Mac were
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

and this from wikipedia

Can no-one write original copy any more? Someone's singularised them and ignored the bit about the Brits, but that's it. "I know", someone at the Dodgers must have thought "no-one will ever have heard of this combo we've booked to do the music while everyone tucks into their chicken-in-a-basket. Let's see what Wikipedia says about them. That'll look really classy on the blurb..."

Oh, the scourge of Wikipedia.

Some band that Old Vin likes. You know how those elderly codgers are. There's no accounting for taste.

It was changed because most American readers won't know what the Brit Awards are. As for the grammar, there are differences between American and British English with regard to matching subjects and verbs. But as someone who studied languages in school, I can appreciate your outrage!

So are they doing just a couple songs or kind of a lot? Or does nobody know ?

Ok. I was just afraid that if I only bought one ticket for the cheap price of $1500 (!), I would be shoved in a corner somewhere, while the people who bought the more expensive packages would get the good seats.

Already having vacation plans for a friend's wedding allows me to just write this off. Otherwise I'd be trying to think of how I could justify that price to myself. The GoFundMe isn't a terrible idea though...Ledgies helping Ledgies...hahaha

my bet-- Nope.

It's a concert. It's a one-off. Easy money. In and out. Cash the check and all go your separate ways again.

They've all been in and around LA at some point since the end of the tour.

Nothing happened.

Then they scattered to Hawaii and NYC and elsewhere.

I've been watching this sh&tshow too long.
