Advice for getting tickets for the 2nd leg?

[WelshWitchPMD]

After much stress I was able to purchase 2 Mick m&g front row tickets for the Providence show! I'm sure this concert will be cancelled for one reason or another, however.

Without Ticketmaster fees: $189.50 (face value - i.e what's printed on the ticket)

With Ticketmaster fees: $189.50 + $14.50 (service charge) + $5.10 (order processing fee) = $209.10

This is just for one ticket.

Thanks. So pretty much the same thing as last time (I'm in Chicago too, so I'm looking at the All State show; so nice of Lindsey to spend both his birthday and Valentine's Day with us ).

Haha....so true. I wonder if anything special will happen. I saw the Mac minus Christine here for the first time last year. It's an all right venue. The United Center is better in my opinion.

Hope you can score some tix.

Has a Facebook pre-sale code for Lincoln, NE been given? I didn't have such a hard time finding codes this close to the pre-sale date for the first round of tickets (I was unable to get tickets, however).

I had friends who bought Lincoln tix today. Nobody got better than 107. I was surprised.

I hate the Ticket Master system. I kept refreshing and the same tickets in the same sections keep showing up. It's pretty clear they only opened up a few parts of the stadium for the presale. I just wish you could zone in and pick your seats like you can do for a sports game.

That's exactly what they did. That's how it works unfortunately for pre-sales. They won't open the entire arena for anything because some of those tickets have already been bought by radio stations, promoters, and scalpers and because their website would crash from everybody trying to get on. I went on SeatGeek on Sunday night looking for a more detailed seating chart for my venue, and I saw there were already tickets being sold for seats in the 100 level on the sides and some on the floor, BEFORE the pre-sales had even started. Now if those were legitimate tickets I don't know.

I couldn't use the interactive seating chart for my venue because TM blocks it if there's "too many fans buying tickets right now." It wasn't until I went on later that I saw the interactive chart again.

But I understand your frustration, these so-called pre sales are sad because they give away somewhat good tickets and then there's nothing really good left when the general sale happens about a week later. Some people don't realize how these things work until it's too late.

Are there any other pre-sales this time around other than the AmEx one? I know last time there was the Facebook one, but haven't seen anything mentioned/passwords, etc.

Please see this post from the Pre-Sale talk thread:

I know that "THE SHOW" was the Live Nation pre sale code confirmed via this post from Fleetwood Mac News: http://www.fleetwoodmacnews.com/2014...-rosemont.html

I'm just assuming that the Facebook pre sale code is "MAC" because that's what it was on the first leg. Fleetwood Mac News recommends going on the Live Nation FB page and asking them for the pre-sale code for your specific one. I think you can only do this if you've "liked" the page though. I think there are different codes for different shows though. Keep digging around online.

You're awesome, thanks!

Has anyone had good luck waiting until the week (or even the day) before their show? Used to do that all the time - in fact, that's how I scored every front row ticket I've gotten. But with this tour being so in demand, I wasn't sure that strategy would work this time around.

I did the Amex presale for the Buffalo show coming in january. 15-year-old niece wants me to take her & I've seen Mac/Stevie/LB so many times from the floor that I wasn't aiming for floor seats.

I was shocked that the vast majority of the arena seats are the top price, which comes to $200 PER TICKET with fees! All of floor, 100 & 200 level are $200 apiece! There are only 3 sections of $50 tickets so those will be gone in minutes. I opted for $75 (total $90) tix in the lower part of the 300 level right near the stage.

Whoah....did you guys see the 2nd leg VIP price jump vs the first leg VIP prices? For front row, they went from $750.00 (1st leg shows) to $895.00 (for the Feb Cleveland show). Did anyone else catch this? Sorry if I missed it in another comment/thread.

I tried the LiveNation presale this morning and there wasn't anything good available. In general seating, the best you could get was literally the last row on the floor. The only Platinum seats available were at the very end of one of the side sections so you might as well have been in the stands. Stubhub is pretty bad price-wise already. (one of the worst things I saw was within hours of the first presale beginning someone has a 10th row ticket for the venue I was looking at for sale for $1799!!) It looked like the best I was going to be able to do for a good seat was to do the Mick meet and greet ticket. I had two tickets in my cart but found I just couldn't go through with paying $1500 for them. I guess I'll pass for now, but maybe keep watching Stubhub as the time gets closer to see if anyone with unsold good seats gets desperate and drops their prices. I hope I am doing the right thing, but $1500 is a good chunk of a family vacation. I love my family, I love my family, I love my family...ohm, ohm, ohm.... *chants soothingly and persuasively* Someone please reassure me I'm a good parent and did the right thing and will have no regrets, blah, blah, blah...
