Stevie Expenses?

[SapphireSister]

So I was trying to estimate how much money I'm willing to spend on a ticket for the Atlantic City show and I got to thinking how much money I've spent on Stevie Nicks throughout the years. It's crazy! Here's what I estimate. Now keep in mind I've only been investing since 2002 (8 years):

CD's and DVD's: $500
Live shows: $3,500 (keep in mind I sometimes go through brokers)
Various Stevie collectables (posters, jewelry, photos, wine glasses, etc.) : $2,000
Concert Merchandise: $700
Stevie-inspired clothing: $500
Computer hardware for demos/live shows: $300
Hours spent on The Ledge: priceless

Total: $7,500 (and that's being conservative)

How much do you estimate you've spent on Stevie? (and please mention over how many years). If you can think of any other Stevie expenditures I'll add to my list if applicable.

How about the cost of psychotherapy after that scary time in 1989 when she first came on stage in black Reeboks? I'm still trying to pay that one off. Anyone want to buy a used OSOTM disk?

I had no idea she debuted that wonderful fashion statement in 89". I thought it was much later. Are they the same as the SYW frankenboks?

i haven't spent half nearly as much as you, Linds. I buy a lot from eBay:

Tickets: $500
Collectibles: $250
LPs: $50
CDs: $100
DVDs: $75
Clothing: $100
grand total: &1,175
and for me, the priceless objects are the friends i've made through Stevie/FM!

i hope to spend more - i'm currently redecorating my room so i can display all my Stevie stuff!

Yes, '89 was the year Stevie first clodded on stage in non-regulation footwear to the gasp of the 8,000 people at the theatre. But I'm not sure if they are actually the same make/model. The SYW shoes looked like actual sneakers with an extra lift on them. Unless I'm not remembering them right, the OSOTM footwear looked like the shoe part was attached to the zip-leg part like real boots. A tan pair and a black pair, I think. But the sole was the same fug.

Had I been at the show I would of demanded a refund!

Probably about 250 bucks.

What can I say, I'm a cheap bastard. ...

I guess I'm one of the rare Stevie/FM fans who couldn't care less about what Stevie wears in concert

Maybe... but you're not alone.. I've never really cared either..

[ButterCookie]

I care, but not as much as I do about how she sounds. Which is always good, so it's not really a worry for me

Expenses, I'd say very little.

Clothing, tambourine etc: £30
Books, tour books etc: £10
DVD, video: £30
CD, Records: About £6.50
Bootlegs, demos etc: About 5gb on my external harddrive

*drum roll* A grand total of: somewhere around £75 big spender, me

I think the most crazy mac related item I have is my 1984 promo poster for Chris' solo album. I payed some $16 to have it shipped over from Texas on top of the $13 I already payed for it.


Blondie stuff on the other hand I'll not even start for the risk of scaring myself more sick than I already am.

Yes, that's rare. Most of us are about the look, and so is Stevie, believe me. She 'gets it'. She knows how closely tied her image is to her music.
Stevie in elastic waist mom jeans and fuzzy slippers on stage would be a complete downer for most of us, except for the occasional hausfrau who spends most her time in such attire herself.

[Meowi]

me, about $300 for everything.

My collection is growing, however.

And all the friends, fun times on the Ledge - Priceless.
Thanks guys,

These totals include Fleetwood Mac items
Concert Tickets: $510 (2 FM shows)
Clothes(Concert Ts)$80
Cds/LPs/Cassettes:$2000(conservative estimate)
Videos/DVD$200
Books$60
Posters/assorted memorabilia$150

Total: $3000

This is over the 25 years I've been a fan! A lot of that time, I didn't have much money, so I likely would have spent more if I had had it to spend!
