Will Lindsey be there, because if so...EEEEEE!!!!!!

JLS · #3 07-05-2005, 12:29 PM

Sorry......don't know the guest list....

It's too expensive for me to fly out....$218 roundtrip. If it was cheaper and I wasn't starting school at the end of the month, I would have considered making the trek--

ARRGH!!!

Why does it have to be right after my 2 shows? Crap.

Once again, I will miss this. There would be no way for me to have the funds to go to this show so soon after the other 2. Aren't tickets like $2500 each?

No, the GP tix are the same as any other concert. The $2500 ones are for the meet and greet package only.

It is expensive - especially if you have to fly out. I've never been to one.

I went to the last two AHI benefits and you can buy regular priced tickets. They did have packages (I thought they were only $1000) where there was a meet and greet with photos. I know some on this board could probably give better info on what you got for the premium packages. It's only money Jamie!

Plus, Southwest has $39 tickets each way right now from San Diego and LA.

That seems like a reasonable round trip price for your neck of the woods - but yeah, the timing stinks. And why is it on a Thursday?? Why not the weekend? Especially since it may end up being the last show of the tour? You'd think they schedule it on a more feasible day...depending on who the special guests are, I may blow it off this year.

I checked the America West Arena website and August 4th is the only available date around that time (assuming she continues to hold the show there).

Anyone want to venture a guess who the special guests may be? Possibly Bonnie Raitt?

It was cheaper for me to fly to Vegas--I only paid $174 roundtrip and both were non-stop flights. If I wasn't going back to school, i'd cave and do it. I just think it would be awesome to see her in her city. Very odd that it is on a Thursday--more odd that it's a month away and we haven't heard anything of it as of late.

My flight would be $203 and I live 600 miles from Phoenix.
Our airport is pretty but it sure is expensive.

$500 round trip... before tickets and hotel.

And if I were doing this, I'd have to have the meet and greet package to make it worth it. So I'd be looking at close to $2000 to meet Stevie Nicks.

Hmmmm.....

Just curious - where did you hear this from?

JLS · #15 07-05-2005, 12:58 PM

With my last donation to the AHI - I asked them to let me know when the next benefit concert would be. They called me.
