Difficulties Finding Decent Tickets - Page 5

This is why I try to save money in other areas so we can go to something great like this. Tonight I saw that the Atlanta show was possibly going to sell out soon. We didn't take any chances and grabbed the last pair of tickets that were showing on Ticketmaster platinum on Christine's side that were on the floor. Christine was the one that got me interested in Fleetwood Mac in the first place. I have never seen her in person before. This is very huge for me.

How much did you pay for the pair?

Yay! My friend Michelle is a ticket buying expert, and got us 15th row(Lindsey side) in Indy, for $350 each.

She was like, "if we hold out, I might be able to do better".

Imma like, "hell NO. I can live with both 15th row, and $350!!!"

Just a heads up - more tickets were released for Columbus. If you want to sit directly to the side of the stage, two big sections just opened up. Also, more seats in the center section, lower bowl, at the end of the floor.

Our tickets for Atlanta are in section 3 row H seats 7 and 8. They cost $675 each.

This is my very first post... but I wanted to chime in that I never had a single ticket some up for Atlanta on the public sale date. I was there many minutes before 10am and jumped as soon as the sale opened, but it never pulled up a thing.

I've been a fan since I was 7 (my age when Tango came out) and have never seen them live. I am particularly keen now that Christine is back.... they're on my bucket list for sure!

I'm looking for 2 decent tickets (ideally, the lower level sections nearest the stage rather than on the floor) if anyone is selling or knows of someone trying to unload two tickets.

in philly it is 725$ for a center stage 5th row plus 100$ fee...and you are required to buy 2 tickets....so thats 1850$ total. WTF?! i expect that from a broker but not ticket master or any other 1st party seller.
i ended up with a section 4, 6th row for 179$. not a happy camper!

Interesting. Wonder why the Philly shows are the most expensive when last year it was NYC?

Sorry. No concert is worth that

And that's what they were going for here, too. I don't know HOW "Michelle" found these 15th row for $350. I was just so happy to get them! Because I had put my foot down, that $500 was my limit.

And I'm not someone who would spend $500 on a ticket! NEVER for a band for which I was only a casual fan! However.....this is FM. An obsession since 8th grade. Literally the reason I became obsessed with music, and play in a band, and do sound and lighting for bands....it all began with them.

I think $500 is ridiculous(let alone, $675)! But let's face the facts. Christine is back. And 70. John has been battling cancer, and hopefully winning the battle(even though he looks really weak). The end of FM is in sight now. I HAVE to see this tour, as(as Stevie said, many years ago) this could very well be the last time... And if this is the last time, I need to know that I was there for the last time.

These are my same thoughts. And I explained this to my husband as I told him about me buying tickets. Let's face it, they are getting older, John has cancer. You never know. This could be the very last time that they are together. A sad thought, but could be true. And I wanted to get tickets for Philly through Wells Fargo because even though they are high, they will be even higher through Stub Hub, ridiculously higher.

Good luck. I hope you find some really good seats!

I already got tickets during the presale. They are in the lower section on Christine's side. Hey, I'm happy with them. I'm not in the nosebleeds. Believe me, they may not be on the floor but @ least they aren't up in the 200 section. I was up there for U2 & I was really scared. And I am not normally afraid of heights! But I loved the U2 show anyway.

Great!

I'm on Lindsey's side(wishing it was Chris's) but I can't complain!

The last show I saw at this venue(Bare Naked Ladies), I was in the balcony, and it was SO steep(I'm terrified of heights), that I always had a hand ready to grab something, prior to me catapulting to my ultimate demise!
