Thanks for the update.I will try to drive to the boxoffice that day.or call.

I'm hoping she does some more dates, concerts at Foxwoods are terrible. They give all of the good seats to the highrollers who are not fans at all. I just saw Mariah there, nobody dances or knows the songs there. I vowed never to go there again!

is anyone familiar w foxwoods seating ? where are the better sections ( other that front row, which i assume is being held for big rollers )

will also keep eyes open for possible AMEX pre-sale through ticketmaster !

I wonder why so expensive.
Donna Summer - $55-$75
Willie Nelson- $35-$55
Heart- $35-$55
Diana Ross $50-$85

But Stevie's will be $85-$135?! WTF?!

John, let me explain something to you. Stevie is a huge act, ok? She has countless #1's. She is soooo much bigger than Donna and Diana, so get over it, ok? And Willie Nelson is cheap because he sucks, and is not a legend at all. Stevie however is still completely relevant, and such a legend. I mean, everyone knows who Stevie Nicks is, no one knows who Heart is. Crazy on who?

sarcasm.

I think we're starting to see the signs of Stevie pulling an imminent Greta Garbo on us. She's refusing to do anything new; touring, touring, touring... doing stupid casinos; and continuously upping her asking price. I think she's sacking away money so she can call it a day at some point in the reasonable future.

As if she doesn't make a bundle in royalties alone? I wish she would stop touring and record new music, and work on remastering her previous albums, and release all her unreleased stuff. But you are very astute your observation: she is pulling a Garbo (that should be a phrase "pulling a garbo") "I just want to tour alone"

QFT.

Stevie should be within 5-10% of Miss Ross, who is a pretty fair comparison to Stevie popularity-wise these days, I think its fair to say.

I think she could have called it a day at any point in the recent past or now and still be filthy-stinkin rich. I don't think she's doing it to ensure a comfortable "retirement".
On the same note I can most certainly understand why people are upset with such high ticket prices. It really inhibits a lot of dedicated fans who would love to see her live. If I could afford it I'd pay her to do a private show for all us die-hards for free!

I just read an article last night about the demise of Jennifer Lopez. The article was saying how lately she can't get anything right, her last couple singles have all bombed, her latest movie tanked and she's been dropped by her record label. The article said that albums sales in general are down, but you can't blame that on her lack of success. It said that for artists today the real money comes from touring (but because Lopez can't buy a hit touring won't work because there's no interest).
My point being that Stevie is obviously aware of this and so she just keeps touring. There's far more money to be had touring rather than putting out another album. If Jennifer Lopez who just a few years ago was on top of the music world can't re-ignite her career what chance does someone like Stevie have?

While all of that may be true about Jlo, I don't see how you can compare her with Stevie at all. The big difference is that Stevie solo/FM has had a much longer, more successful, more influential recording career and a fanbase that has been cultivated and nurtured for decades. Jlo has been a recording artist for ten years in a genre that can politely be described as "froth." Jlo's hits come and go, never to be heard again, whereas Stevie's catalogue has had legs and has endured. So Stevie can disappear for years and come back, and people will still be interested in her. But in the rapidly changing world of frothy pop, one does not have that luxury. Perhaps Jlo's biggest career miscalculation was assuming that she could go off, have kids, have a "normal" life and expect to come back exactly where she left off.

Yeah you brat. Maybe you should stop thinking about yourself so much. You are lucky they aren't $300, we are fortunate to even hear her angelic voice sing Dreams and GDW...gems that are rarely pulled out of the vault.

me and john are bff

I think Xtina must be getting a bit nervous. In the time since her last full studio release, Gaga/Swift/Ke$ha/Sasha Fierce happened. Hopefully her album will kick major azz. Because Whitney Houston, Nelly Furtado, Mary J Blige, Shakira and Alicia Keys didn't move huge units here in the US with their latest releases.
