I'm with you. If you've got the money to do it and that's what you (or anyone else) wants to do, then more power to you! I'm not ruling it out myself. I had the thrill of my life when I got close enough to the stage to shake Stevie's hand a couple of years ago. And it was worth every penny I paid for the tickets and the trip to the venue for that.

Just remember to take good pics for us on The Ledge to post afterwards okay?

How close did you get. It BETTER be front row for nearly 1000 bucks a ticket.

I plan to post as many pics as I can. I just hope that the show will not get cancelled due to weather. Weather, from what I understand in Michigan, can be bad at that time of year.

I thought, "I HAVE TO HAVE A FRONT ROW SEAT!" Initially, that was my approach. After I thought about it, I decided that being front row would limit my view of John, who I pay CLOSE attention to. He is still in it for the music. I also think that front row would limit my view of Mick.

I figure it this way: I get to meet mick. I have met stevie. I have met Carlos, and Sharon. If I am a few rows back, but certainly in the first 5 I will be the happiest camper. Ever.

That and... it's the mac. Regardless of MY seat, they will give me my money worth. Always have. They are the one group I have grown to depend on for that.

THE MAC IS BACK!

I think that with as much money as I have put into this group and the support that I have given (and for nealr 2,000 bucks...) I deserve a little something. I appreciate the chance. I think that this is great. I admire Mick for saying, "yeah, I'll do it." I know that Stevie isn't all about coming out before a show, but... IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE... I am sure that Lindsey will be hanging out somewhere. To meet him would be too much for me. Meeting Stevie was WAY TOO much! LOL I have no idea what I will say to Mick. Maybe, "Mick, don't forget the fans. We have been there for you. Be there for us in these TOUGH economic times."

$1840?! That's around £1201. I don't think I would pay that much to meet Stevie... let alone Mick!

I met Mick for free when they last toured over here after hanging around in the cold at Birmingham NEC hoping to catch a glimpse of Stevie. It was nice of him to come and meet those of us waiting even though I still hadn't forgiven him for all the Jonathan Todd BS.

To be honest, I am a little nervous about it. I went through ILAA and I am praying that they don't pull one over on me. I really want this night to be everything I have hoped for.

I hope everything goes as you hope.. I'm sure it will. I just don't trust anything that Mick is involved in

Oh, it's a great experience, I agree. I just don't think it's worth more than what I paid for my first car. Most people (myself included) who have shaken Stevie's hand did so for the regular ticket price; most who have met Mick & LB have done so before or after shows outside the venues or in hotel lobbies - for FREE.

But to each their own. Whatever makes people happy. I guess the guarantee of meeting Mick is enough to justify spending that amount of money for some fans. I just hope people aren't disappointed & that they actually DO get great seats AND get to meet some of the band, as promised.

I know a lot of Eagles fans who have gone this route. The ones who get front row/second row center enthusiastically endorse it. The problem is that you just don't know. It's basically an officially endorsed broker ticket with no guarantee to be in the first five rows, but with some goodies as an attempt to make it worth your while. I think they also hope that your loyalty to the band will encourage you to go this "official" route instead of buying a broker ticket where you know where you're gonna sit. Another marginal "upside" is that it is less expensive than some broker tickets (although Pittsburgh first row center broker was $650).

Eagles fans have kind of been eased into this since the Eagles have been doing it for years. I'm curious to see if Mac fans will be as willing to shell out. Mick's appearance may work to their advantage, as no Eagles volunteered to show up as part of their VIP packages. I think Azoff is hoping that the same well-to-do middle-aged people who buy the Eagles VIP packages also like Fleetwood Mac.

If you want the first few rows at face value, your best bet is waiting to buy 'til the last minute.

To shed some light on the meet & greet with Mick package, you can buy an ILAA Eagles 5 Star package and meet Joe Walsh all for a total of $5,190.

If 5 people pop for the Mick meet and greet, you can bet he'll be as delusional as Joe for the next leg of the tour.

Stevie would probably pay that much to meet and "greet" Joe.

So Fleetwood Mac are now following the ever mercenary Eagles lead with former nemesis Irving Azoff at the helm..Unless they come up with something original for these shows I guess I'll be sitting this one out."Unleashed greatest hits?! Please.
