They've got a damned cheek in the current economic climate. I wouldn't see them even if they decided to go to Europe. I absolutely refuse to line their pockets further.

I'm saying, it is ridiculous... but the thing is, how many more times is this band likely to tour? Therefore, do you pay the money to go see them??? It leaves me in a pickle.... and I don't like pickles.

It's a lounge act now, as far as I am concerned. This 'hits' tour, and the re-release of Rumours (yet again), have left a very sour taste in my mouth. They're well past their best and I don't want to see them again. I would rather remember them as they were, at their height.

Have you seen them before?

I'm gladly and proudly buying scalped tickets at 8:46 p.m. on the day of the Boston show. Once the crickets start chirping and the first strains of 'The Chain' are played the scalpers slash their prices to more than half the actual ticket price. I'm bringing 70 bucks, no ATM card, and I plan on having a few beers that night too. If I don't get in, WAH! I won't get to hear FM songs performed by 10 back up singers, 15 guitarists, 5 keyboard players, and 9 drummers. Only one bass needed, of course.
Those @#$@# greedy baby boomers...typical.

Did not know that about the scalpers..... Only thing is we can't really do that. We're going to be a family of either 3 or 4, although we aren't planning on ALL sitting together... but I don't think we could risk that. Got any advice?

I totally agree with everyone that this tour is /was a bad idea. Perhaps they thought having been away for 5 years would make for soo much demand that tickets would move quickly. I DID buy tickets for Ottawa only because it is my hometown and I hope to hear Sara and Seven Wonders.

What bothers me the most about the baby boomer bands is that most of them can't even have hit single on the radio anymore (Chicago, FM, Rolling Stones etc) and yet here they are gauging us die hard fans to line their pockets. The Eagles though I think have to be the worst simply because they throw in so much solo material instead of trying to to play some lesser known Eagles material and the fact that they play everything not for note instead of being spontanious. As well since they only 7 studio albums of all new original material it means you can buy all of the albums and still not have paid for decent ticket to their concert.

Exactly. They haven't put out any new material in 6 years now, and it's beginning to look like they won't again. I would be somewhat more tolerant of them if they were supporting new material, but they're not. This is just another blatant cash grab, without a doubt their most blatant to date. At least with the Dance they had a few new songs... this time around we get bupkiss. The fact that they're demanding these insane ticket prices in this economy is pouring salt on the wounds too. I think about the only way I'd go see them this time around is if I were guaranteed they'd play Sisters Of The Moon. I have now heard Insider and Sara in concert... now if I could hear Sisters I'd die a happy man .

They sent out an email saying the price for a VIP package for the Uniondale show had been "adjusted" and they refunded $100 per ticket.

I hope it too!!!

I have never seen Fleetwood Mac, and I really want to, so I am willing to pay such prices to see them. I have also never seen Stevie or Lindsey solo, so I am really hurting to see them!

$100 refund is better than nothing. Glad they did that.
