Soundstage

Pix · #1 09-05-2003, 05:34 PM

The Club pulled one off for the members... they have held 84 seats of the 300 person Soundstage for Club members. My email went to a Spam directory because of the subject line, so I wanted to make sure everyone knows. I'm told that there are more great things like this in the works for Club members, but this is a very good step toward realizing the benefits of being a Club member. Kudos to the Band management and the Club for this great chance to see Lindsey and Stevie in this intimate venue for free.

WIN TICKETS TO SEE LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM TAPING A PBS TV SPECIAL

As you may know Lindsey Buckingham will perform September 15, 2003 at the
WTTW TV Studio in Chicago. The taping will be in front of an intimate
Audience and it is expected that Stevie Nicks will make a special guest
appearance for a song or two. The show will be a part of the PBS
"Soundstage " series and will be broadcast nationally at a later date.

In keeping with PBS practice, a number of tickets were made available
locally through PBS Chicago affiliate WTTW in return for a subscription to
the local affiliates pledge drive. However, the fan club has secured a
limited number of these tickets, including seven pair in the front row,
seventeen pair in the second through fourth rows and eighteen pair general
admissions, specifically for fan club members FOR FREE. You will have the
chance to win a pair of these tickets to experience this intimate
performance. We will hold a random drawing for these tickets on Monday
September 8, 2003 after 5PM Pacific Time.

To be eligible for a chance to win a pair of tickets for this special
event, simply send your NAME, CLUB USER NAME and YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER to
[email protected] with ³WIN LINDSEY@PBS CHICAGO² in the Subject Line.

***DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS MONDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2003, 5 PM PACIFIC TIME***

The winners will be announced in an email blast to all members on Tuesday,
September 9, 2003.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY TICKETS WILL BE GIVEN AWAY, NOT TRAVEL OR
ACCOMODATION.

If you are one of the lucky winners and have already purchased tickets to
this performance, the FAN CLUB will PURCHASE your tickets back from you and
make them available to another Fan Club Member.

What? Your not staying for dinner?

You have quite a few people waiting to hear from you.

Wow. Let me make sure I have this straight. After (PBS) selling tickets for $325 and assuring people that there was no reserved seating, the Fan Club has decided to "randomly" pick who is going to sit in the best seats in the house? Why doesn't this make me feel warm and fuzzy inside?

Let's not forget that the people who win will barely have a moment to book a flight which would mean that they would only be eligible for the most expensive fares.

That aside...

What the hell would someone from the fanclub do who bought the tickets and now has to eat them or try to find someone in Chicago to give them to.

As for the seating and the way this was done. everytime Jonathan Tood get's near something the fans get screwed. While it would be great for someone to win these tickets, how many people can rearrange their schedule on less than a weeks notice and pay for a full price airline ticket and hotel costs.

Maybe the people who bought the tickets should be calling the station and making some major complaints and the people from the fanclub can sit in the rear...after all....when you're lucky enough to belong to the FLEETWOOD MAC SCAM CLUB you know you're going to have the worst seats in the house.

I still cannot believe this.

I can't believe it either.

I think the opening sentence says it all....

"The Club pulled one off for the members... "

The FLEETWOOD MAC SCAM CLUB STRIKES AGAIN.

Oh wow! Another "random" drawing.

Bwwaaaaaahahahahaha!

What about those who don't belong to the fan club and have already purchased tickets and made travel arrangements?

Watchdevil22 · #9 09-05-2003, 06:45 PM

I agree that it would have been nice to give more notice so arrangements could be made in advance and for less money to get to the taping...but I still think this is a really cool thing for the fan club to do.

I hope some people from the Ledge get free tickets!!

Yipeeee....woohoo...yayayayaya...NOT.

The fan club said that it will buy back your tickets if you win and provide them to another member.

Now, you guys tell me. A club that cannot answer the simplest to hardest question, who has abused the fans, insulted them, taken their money and given them nothing in return, now they have the wherewithall to provide these seats and do all this in this short period of time?

I cannot wait to hear how this one goes off. Cause JT is firing the gun. God Pix loves his boss. He is just drooling and carrying on. What is he gonna do when the hiney he kisses is not there anymore? Well, I guess we all have some suggestions, huh?

Bet you a dollar to donuts that the fan club had little to nothing to do with this gift. I think that I know who did.

I hope that lots of great fans are helped and I hope that it is all for real, but, I would not bet nor hold my breath. Too many bad vibes, scenes and troubles from this club.

No doubt... I hope ALL tickets go to LEDGIES... then I can make FREE tee-shirts for them saying:

SAY YOU WILL FIRE JONATHAN TODD

That'd get their attention!

After everything that's happened, who really believes JT's behind this act of generosity to the fans? I'm with you, peace. I feel it's being done in response to the outrage against the fan club, but my thanks goes out to those listening and taking action.

All I can say is, where was this kind of bounty when I was still a member of the club?

Thanks anyway, on behalf of the gypsies that remain.

Lets see how many winners are the lap dogs of that other site, and how many are the big mouths over here who paid the same good money to join the club and still have nothing to show for it.

Who's taking bets?

Yeah, whos taking bets cause I would bet that you won't see me win a ticket to Soundstage...hehehehe..but, you can bet that I PAID my dues in more ways than one.

I really don't want the image I have of Buckingham Nicks being bastardized via association with the Fleetwood Mac Fan Club. Is nothing still sacred?
I don't, gazing into my crystal ball, see any of the more outspoken Ledgies coming up a winner in this.
I'm really warming up to the idea of Stevie making another solo record after this and touring to promote that.
