She's scheduled for LA here early December and there's mucho seats. Swift or Mac would be sold out. The Billy Joel shows are selling.

Her audience is aging and she’s not exactly getting up on stage and putting on anything THAT interesting anymore. Fleetwood Mac (with any of the Rumours songwriters involved) has always and will forever sell more seats than any of them solo, including the queen herself. Put her, Mick, Mike, and Sheryl on stage as some half assed version of Fleetwood Mac and it will easily outsell her solo shows.

The “new” audience she is gaining through all the TikTok Silver Springs and Harry Styles influenced love is going to struggle to justify those prices. And in that group she’s also competing with the likes of Swift. Sorry, most younger girls are attending a Swiftie event before Stevie Nicks.

If she solidly embraced social media and released even a halfway decent new single with a cool video that engaged people who aren’t in the typical boomer/genx concert circuit, she could do a lot better. Not to mention her live show is generally blah these days. The songs are tired and she looks tired.

I’m guessing she’s making good coin and really just doesn’t care to do anything different or new. And she really hasn’t for a long time.
