You can no longer buy a pair of tickets for Dallas unless you go through a reseller. $2500/ticket for 3rd row Christine's side!

Mick coaxed Christine out of her rabbit hole in the UK for a reason and it's not a new record it's so more $$$$ can be charged for all things "MAC"...

Rest assured this tour is simply a warm up for the "Farewell Tour"...If you think Mick's M&G's are high now just wait... I wouldn't be surprised if they are 2 or 3 times what they are now for the farewell tour...

I don't believe that at all. This isn't something orchestrated by Mick. If it was he probably wouldn't have gone on tour last year and put out new music when they could've waited and done all of that with Christine. From what I've read this whole reunion thing was initiated by Christine.

I wonder if John getting sick had something to do with Christine wanting to rejoin the band full-time. Kind of serving as the impetus, making her realize she might not get another chance to ever play with all of her old friends again.

You know, I wondered the same thing. I mean look @ the timing of it all.

Mick is the reason Christine is back and it took him the better part of last year to talk her into it...The whole thing goes back at least to when Mick brought CM to Maui early last year...

If you'd read all the interviews you'd know that's not the order of things. Christine decided she wanted to do it and Mick accommodated. Mick did not talk her into it. The trip to Hawaii happened because Christine called up Mick and said she wanted to go to Hawaii to see him, not to perform. She hadn't flown in nearly 15 years. Mick said basically "that's great, but actually I'm coming to England soon so we can fly back together". So that's how that came about. He invited her on stage with him but she had already started practicing before that because she had gotten the itch to play. She didn't need to be coaxed. She was a willing participant at every step. She said she got the idea she might want to come back about 2 years ago.

The other day I saw a lot of angry comments on their FB page regarding the high ticket prices. Not sure if it has been removed since or not.

Default Anyone else feel this way?

I love Fleetwood Mac and I would love to see them on tour but tickets are way to expensive so I can't even get a bad seat and go see them. I don't have that kind of money! It is way to expensive I mean come on, over $200 for two of the worst seats in Madison Square Garden? Unreasonable

you can't blame them .

blame the I will and did pay anything for tickets from a 3rd party ticket broker that both ticketmaster and artist was aware of and participated in the sale now they just cut the broker out of the picture to pocket more for themselves .

It's the way it's done know and until as I have been saying for years there are empty seats they will keep the price as high as they can .

I can afford to buy as many seat as i want I just wont, no one is worth it it's just a concert .
