No, because they don't have tickets to be up there and people shouldn't have their good time spoiled by the pricks who rush up there with no respect for the people who are SUPPOSED to be there. That behavior lacks couth.

Well everyone at the Fleetwood Mac show was very nice..I had 3rd row, and security let people go up to the stage, as long as everyone with front row tix had the spot that they wanted first...and they actually checked tix, to make sure no1 was furthur than row 3...and also walked around to make sure the ppl standing by their seat in row 1, were able to get first dibs on the stage, many had no desire to stand at the stage

That is a much more organized way, to do it before the show begins..instead of in the middle of it

Nope, when you have a seat up front you are very very lucky and someone with worse luck should be allowed to improve what they were given. I think the fact that you mentioned the velvet rope earlier makes me like Stevie that much more. This is nothing against you, but the fact that this whole thing shocks you so much is so funny. I just see all the Eagles fans going.. WHAT THE... she interacts with her fans, whats this?

[HenleyFan]

Don interacts with his fans quite a bit but he also understands how upsetting having your experience ruined by a drunk jerk who thinks they have the right to move in front of you can be. He has actually stopped shows and told people who were interfering with people's views to sit down or move back to their original seat.

Amy

I was at DTE for the last Fleetwood Mac show of the tour last year and there was no room for a stage rush. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

You will be forced to shake her hand.

Just teasing. You can just stand there. Honestly, it sounds kind of scary (and sometimes it is), but I've been to shows where everyone is friendly, and security does a great job of making sure only people in the first 3 rows move up. I hope the crowd at your show is polite and unobnoxious.

Well I think overall Stevie fans enjoy this experience..the ones in the first couple of rows, can go to the stage also..it's quite nice...someone in row 2 can stand beside someone in row 1 at the stage...all you need to know is when Edge of 17 is gonna come on..It's not as if they are breaking a rule...the security lets this happen, because Stevie wants it to happen

Yes... It's a requirement.. J/K...

You know... It sounds a lot worse by description then it actually is... Sure there are instances where it's a little more... say, pushy.. But everyone is a grown-up, for the most part... were not dealing with a mosh pit here or anything.... I mean if it was that bad, that dangerous, it would have stopped years ago... It's been going on for what over 20 years.... so that should say something...

I wouldn't worry about not seeing the stage, they don't let people up on stage and you can stay in your seat as everyone else (stevie's fans) will have moved down front.

with ya, Especially considering what happened this past December with the murder of Dimebag Darrell of Damageplan on stage in Columbus (The video of the shooting was just released yesterday) I think musicians need to be more careful, There's no telling who could actually be waiting for that wave/handshake when they come to the edge of the stage

I have to disagree. I have also been to the Eaglesfan website and they have had nothing but supportive and nice things to say about Stevie. They were excited she was on this tour with Henely, but many people have said nasty things about him and the his fans here. Which makes this board look bad.

Well certainly I think a Pantera concert stage rush is much different than Stevie Nicks wouldnt you say?
