Fan Club Tickets Info

This sucks!

[AliP]

I thought I also read that you can't resell the tickets you buy from the fanclub. I don't know how they would track you down - but they probably could. Anyway I might take my chances with the presale, but if I can't resell - no way. That's what I had to do with every ticket I got from the last presales because the tickets all sucked crap.

Since I've seen em 6 times this tour...unless they change the set, I think I'll probably pass on Dallas this time.

If they do happen to change the set kinda drastically, like adding Red Rover perhaps, (Lindsey, are you listening?!?!) I will wait until a week beforehand and check TM or Ebay or something.

Wow. I'll save everyone $500:



Note the racks of clothing that Stevie doesn't wear, and the instrument cases. Where the band keeps its instruments. And that, ladies & gentlemen, wraps up our tour .

I find this very disheartening. I'm going to feign ignorance and pretend Fleetwood Mac themselves have nothing to do with this, so I don't have to admit that I'm finally disappointed in my favorite band .

I want to know if 50 Platinum Packages are
available in rows 1-5 at each venue,
how many seats does that leave up close for the
Bronze Package option?
Seems to me that we are going to be stuck with
the fantastic "premium" seats in rows 6-30 unless Ticketmaster
handed over ALL the best seating on the floor to "OUR"
magnificent New Fan Club.
Now why would Ticketmaster do something like that?
At least with the old club we had a shot at the first five rows.
Will we now?
I don't feel like I have a shot at a decent seat at all.
The whole thing has become a disgrace.
We deserve better than this.

There are two offerings for fan club members for this show...

Bronze Presale Tickets - this is presale only and ends on Friday, February 12th at 10amPT/12pmCT/1pmET.
* Price - face value of a price level one ticket plus a $10 service charge.
* Location - Rows 1 - 30
* Limit four Bronze Presale Tickets per person

Platinum Package - these packages are available until soldout.
* Only 50 per show
* Price - $500
Includes:
* One price level one ticket, location rows 1 - 5
* Exclusive Platinum Ticket Package t-shirt
* Exclusive Platinum Ticket Package VIP laminate
* Autographed Tour book
* $25 coupon good in the official Fleetwood Mac fan club online store
* VIP Backstage tour - NO meet and greet
* Limit two Platinum Packages per person

What an absolute joke!!! And they still can't tell you where your seat will be as you will be buying blind! When will the realise that the fan club members want to be down the front... row 30 just won't wash! Also they say rows 1-30 for bronze and 1-5 for platinum. Well if you got platinum and were in row 5 wouldn't you be slightly pissed that someone with bronze was in row 1?

I don't know about anyone else but I could care less about a t-shirt and laminate. And backstage is very dull if you aren't getting to meet any band members.

And they say 50 platinum per show?? So 50 signed tourbooks per show?? Can you really see the band signing that many??

I don't believe for a minute that they could secure all the first few rows seats....

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Also... just to add. It says Autographed tourbook but doesn't indicate who will have signed it......

[ShangriLaTroubl]

i cant see 50 ppl from each show actually BUYING THEM...

I smell a rat. Named Jonathan Todd. I'm beginning to think that he still has a lot to do with this, despite the "change of hands...."

I can. Corporate entertainment, as a write off. 50 platinum packages at $500 per show = $25,000 per show x 40 shows = $1,000,000. Way to make an easy million.

Ha! I was disappointed a year ago, what's taking you so long, doll?!

The band knows what is going on, just like they did with Toad. They are the ones feigning ignorance, not the fans.

Not to mention the scalpers will buy them if they think they can get more than that on resale. So, this could be a way for FM to make the money instead of the scalpers

I repeat (again): all this band cares about is money. That's been the only thing on their agenda since '97.

And please, don't anyone jump in with the argument "If all they wanted was money, why work on an album for so long?" Because it gives them an excuse to go on the road and make money. Pure and simple.

Vaht - They should do it for free

Although I think they are alot of $$$, FM concert sales prices are in line with other acts of their status (Eagles, Stones, etc.). I mean Simon and Garfunkal (sp.?) is a two person deal and they charged as much. So, FM is not openly and solely gouging and the market clearly is paying it. I say good for them if they can get it.
