Being close to the Mac is worth it to me. Honestly, there are few things in the world that mean this much. Fleetwood Mac has played a HUGE part in my life. I want the chance to experience this, "revisit" of the greatest hits. I WANT THEM TO MEET THE EXPECTATIONS THAT THE NAME, "UNLEASHED," placed on this tour. I want it wild, intense, and moving.

I totally get your passion. I feel the same way.

I'm with you. If you've got the money to do it and that's what you (or anyone else) wants to do, then more power to you! I'm not ruling it out myself. I had the thrill of my life when I got close enough to the stage to shake Stevie's hand a couple of years ago. And it was worth every penny I paid for the tickets and the trip to the venue for that.

Just remember to take good pics for us on The Ledge to post afterwards okay?

Oh, it's a great experience, I agree. I just don't think it's worth more than what I paid for my first car.

Most people (myself included) who have shaken Stevie's hand did so for the regular ticket price; most who have met Mick & LB have done so before or after shows outside the venues or in hotel lobbies - for FREE.

But to each their own. Whatever makes people happy. I guess the guarantee of meeting Mick is enough to justify spending that amount of money for some fans. I just hope people aren't disappointed & that they actually DO get great seats AND get to meet some of the band, as promised.

I know a lot of Eagles fans who have gone this route. The ones who get front row/second row center enthusiastically endorse it. The problem is that you just don't know. It's basically an officially endorsed broker ticket with no guarantee to be in the first five rows, but with some goodies as an attempt to make it worth your while. I think they also hope that your loyalty to the band will encourage you to go this "official" route instead of buying a broker ticket where you know where you're gonna sit. Another marginal "upside" is that it is less expensive than some broker tickets (although Pittsburgh first row center broker was $650).

Eagles fans have kind of been eased into this since the Eagles have been doing it for years. I'm curious to see if Mac fans will be as willing to shell out. Mick's appearance may work to their advantage, as no Eagles volunteered to show up as part of their VIP packages. I think Azoff is hoping that the same well-to-do middle-aged people who buy the Eagles VIP packages also like Fleetwood Mac.

If you want the first few rows at face value, your best bet is waiting to buy 'til the last minute.

To shed some light on the meet & greet with Mick package, you can buy an ILAA Eagles 5 Star package and meet Joe Walsh all for a total of $5,190.

If 5 people pop for the Mick meet and greet, you can bet he'll be as delusional as Joe for the next leg of the tour.

Stevie would probably pay that much to meet and "greet" Joe.

So Fleetwood Mac are now following the ever mercenary Eagles lead with former nemesis Irving Azoff at the helm..Unless they come up with something original for these shows I guess I'll be sitting this one out."Unleashed greatest hits?!

Please.

I just went on the i love all access site to check out the eagles and i did come across that meet and greet package with joe and it also includes an autograph guitar i am not sure if its all of the eagles signed it or just joe walsh. They are friggin crazy no body is worth that i dont care who you are even if your die hard fan to go broke to meet joe walsh is nutz.

Stephanie · #12 12-27-2008, 03:19 PM

I'd pay that to meet and photos with stevie, but you know she won't do it unless I guess an Ariz heart show.

Well, to be fair, the guitar does make all the difference. I still wouldn't do it, but I'm not a guitarist. Michele

I think I'd prefer to spend two and a half bucks and go down to the local dive bar and meet a wet brain..I'm pretty certain the conversation would be about the same.
