Everybody Hold it! Aren't these all just rumors?

diamondsnake · #1 03-12-2005, 02:13 PM

Is there any proof that Stevie has any intention to do anything this summer? Everything I've read are just big rumors. I'm just so confused because everyone here is posting like crazy as if it is fact that she is going on some big summer tour. I would love it if this were true, I just don't want to get my hopes up.

No one really has any concrete info for a summer tour just yet. She does have dates listed on Ticketmaster for Vegas May 10,11 and 13,14 so I guess that it would be a sign that she is going to tour this summer. We still don't have any word on thoses shows from The Nicksfix, either.

Billboard.com did mention a possible Stevie/Don Henley bill this summer but we don't have any further info on that right now.

I really want to go to one of the shows in Vegas. I had so much fun at the Atlantic City show in Sept! Stevie was on fire that night and I was front row, right in front of her mic! It was the best night of my life! But I don't want to start planning a trip to Vegas until I hear official word. I'm not even old enough to gamble yet so a trip to Vegas would just be a big waste of money if Stevie canceled the shows!

I just want to ticketmaster and what is the meaning of the presale? Stevie doesn't have a fanclub, or so I thought. So, who is going to be able to do the presale?

Nobody seems to know at this point. We are still waiting for any official word about everything.

We have been waiting for a few days now.

Ticketmaster always calls their pre-sales "fanclub" presales, whether or not the artist has a fanclub at all. Usually it just means that in order to participate in the pre-sales (which usually suck anyway) you are given a "secret" password, usually from the artists website or email listing.

Under normal circumstances, presales are meant for season ticket holders for games, sports games, like for instance hockey game season tickets. I know for myself... Our company has season tickets at the arena here for our hockey team... Any time a concert comes to town, we are notified by email and have the option, about 3-4 days before tickets go onsale to the general public, to buy our season ticket seats before anyone else does. Not cut rate or anything, it's just a perk of having the season tickets. But in vegas at this venue... unless Celine sells season tickets, which is a scream if they do... and even funnier if someone buys them, I have no idea what or who a presale could be for... maybe the hi rollers of cecsars have first dibs, or the hotel staff, or like before, american express card holders. I'm sure someone has an early option somewhere, otherwise it wouldn't be there...

Can she really fill 4 nights here???

How many seats does this place have? I just cant picture it. These so called shows are less than 2 months away and there is no promotion anywhere.

BombaySapphire3 · #9 03-13-2005, 06:49 AM

I really hope the 'Celine' shows and the Henley tour are nasty,malicious rumors.Like someone already pointed out this is all about the money and not at all about the fans.

diamondsnake · #10 03-13-2005, 10:54 AM

It does not make sense that these shows are less then two months away and there is no official word. I still don't beleive it, even if the dates are on ticketmaster. Until I get official word I will not be getting too excited about seeing Stevie this summer.

The Don Henley thing: I'd bet money that is just a rumor.

I really do want to see Stevie this summer... supporting that new album she is supposedly writing!

On Nancy's site (relly her old board)

http://p070.ezboard.com/fbuckinghamn...cID=1565.topic

Taku said Stevie was performing there on those dates and that she was planning a Summer tour. SO, take that for what it is worth.

Many Many kudos to the lovely and talented Nancy!!!!!!

ShangriLaTroubl · #12 03-13-2005, 11:38 AM

She can DEFINETELY fill four nights there...almost anyone big could..it seats 4,100....and these shows would sell well regardless if any of us bought tix or not...just because so many tourists make a habit of seeing whatever show is playing there...

Of course it's about the money. This is for the average Vegas tourist, not fans like us. These concerts don't need to be promoted because the overwhelming majority of people who are going to buy the tickets are people who are in Vegas for vacation. All they need to to do is light up the sign letting them know that Stevie Nicks is playing and the tickets will sell. That's why I don't expect her to play anything rare, I bet this is going to be a by-the-numbers standard Nicks show because that's what the people are going to be paying to hear: the hits.

I saw that a few big name acts were playing at the Hard Rock venue. At first I thought that it was nice to do this for the fans. Then I saw the price. Actually Billy Joel's price of $325.00

That is just crazy! I guess that it is business as usual and not about the fans again.

At least Stevie is not that bad yet. I can just imagine how much Don Henley would want to charge for a Hard Rock show.

Annnnnd Josh hits the nail on the head. I don't suspect that many of the people attending these shows are going to be like us saying, "wow, Stevie's playing Vegas! Let's fly out and see her!" They're going to be casual listeners on vacation that will hear she's playing and decide to check her show out. As far as her playing what she wants as opposed to the hits? Not in Vegas, kids. Not. In. Vegas. They're going to want the Stand Back, Edge of Seventeen, Landslide, etc. so i'm thinking the songs she plays will be pretty much the same as when she played the Millenium show with a song or two from TISL thrown in for good measure. And if she's getting the kind of money that I suspect she is for four nights in Vegas, she's going to be playing what they want her to and not what she might like to play.
