*stevie private party cancelled*

FROM THE WIZ & SEVEN WONDERS~

To all members:

Due to unforeseen recent events, it has ultimately been decided to cancel the Seven Wonders Party scheduled for October 14th in Las Vegas. This decision has been based on two factors - the lack of reservation sales & the overwhelming controversy that has developed in the past few days. This event was created with the sincerest intentions of offering the fans a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy a private concert with Stevie Nicks at a private party celebrating the online community. However, because of the amount of negative public reaction that has permeated throughout the community and the fact that not enough reservations have been booked in a sufficient amount of time to monetarily secure this event, we have no choice but to cancel. We are currently stuck at 52 reservations. With the release of the statement by the NicksFix on 5/8, it would be an inevitable uphill battle to try to rally any additional fan support for this.

Despite the rumours, negotiations were on the table. This would never have even been attempted if the possibility of it coming to fruition was not realistic. But without the financial support, it cannot happen. Simple as that. In regards to the statement posted on the NicksFix, a public response was required. I can only imagine the amount of emails that were pouring into John Kinney’s inbox regarding this event. Perhaps the biggest oversight in this whole venture on the part of Seven Wonders was the expectation of the fans keeping this thing somewhat “discreet” and not publicly involving her management, the NicksFix, etc. Although it quickly became apparent that was not going to happen.

Keep in mind that this decision to cancel the event is the decision of Seven Wonders and Seven Wonders only. No outside influence has played a role in this decision. Seven Wonders has every right to throw any private party it wishes at any time and to negotiate a contract with any celebrity entertainer it wishes to perform at that party. As administrator of this site, I am proud to say that we attempted to offer the fans something unique, something different, and something very special. However, the community has spoken and unfortunately the majority dictates that this cannot become a reality.

To those who have booked reservations to the event, you will receive a full refund via Paypal within 24-48 hours. Thank you for taking a chance on a great opportunity. We tried our best, but unfortunately it just wasn’t meant to be.

Special thanks to all those who kept a positive attitude throughout and to those who defended my personal integrity. It was greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

I believe you had the best intentions and never doubted refunds would be offered, I just don't think Stevie would a do a fan party for any amount of money...thanks...

Poor liquidblue.....what a bummer.....
Please come back & post here, liquidblue! Your Stevie party will materialize some day......it's like Buckingham & Nicks ...... "the time wasn't right" ..... but the time will be right when the stars say so .... & then Stevie will sing for her closest fans.

Plus, she will also do this in Europe so that Romy & Sharon & Gunther & Gaius & Gerald will be able to attend, too.

GERALD, YOU GET BACK HERE & POST TOO.

if you go to the nickfix's fan event and scroll down...no, keep going...way down you'll see a MidSouth fan party I put together years back and there's even a lovely pic. anyway, I know how hard it was to put that together back then, I can't imagine what "the wiz" had to deal with.

in the end, I hope all intentions were true. it was a great idea while it lasted, so sad to see it end for some.

I will just say it seems just odd to me that all of a sudden due to "circumstances" it's cancelled. something just smells fishy to me. low ticket sales?

hell, folks have only known about it for a couple days. I just don't get it, but I hope everyone walks away unscathed.

BTFLCHLD · #6 05-09-2006, 08:49 PM

i dont know who organized this
personally while i can appreciate
the intention...im a bit perplexed @ moment
as to smells i sense integrity with regard to $$$ returned
but i also sense irrespons and naivete

1) dont post public what you wish to remain private
2) dont blame the fans behavior (hold candy to the nose of a pup then pull it away as 'its their fault' they cant have any...no surprise the reaction you may well receive)
3) do discuss the 'plan' with er lets see maybe stevies management prior to
4) anticipate all the why, whats, hows, whos and no-ways! from peeps when making deference to 'behind-the-scenes'

EDIT: pls dont take this as diss for sevenwonders or the event 'they' attempted...it is not meant in that way at all...merely observations only intended for lessons learned only. always keep the faith and dont stop.

Great idea in theory, and I loved LiquidBlue when he posted here so I am sure that he had every intention of hosting a great event....

But, this is just not something that Stevie would want to do... Her track record for these type of things is not the best.

Sorry to everyone that had their hopes up! This would have been a blast if it panned out.

I like that it's assumed that I simply won't attend, even in fantasy situations.

I honestly don't know what he expected. I mean you cannot surely go into negotiations on something like this without a big chunk of the money upfront. No artist will agree if it's just dependent on ticket sales. And fans can't be expected to stump up $350 if the artist isn't guaranteed. It was always a no win situation IMO. And why on earth did he think people wouldn't contact the Nicksfix or Stevie's management? Of course the people who did buy tickets are probably going to blame the people who didn't.

Gypsy-Rhiannon · #13 05-10-2006, 04:37 AM

Just to add that those people over there who are blaming fans for this not happening need to get a grip and re-read Brians post.

Yeah, there's really no need for people to be throwing blame around about this. It was a simple matter of Brian biting off a little more than he could chew. You live and learn, and maybe one day he'll try something like this again with a little more experience of how these things work.

Again, how do you know this happened? For all we know, the negotiations could have been going well and then her management backed out for a purely professional reason? I mean are you privy to insider information here?

Note - I am not saying this did not go down the way you said. I am just questioning the authority with which you assert this as the truth because there has been to my knowledge no public information released on how the negotiations took place

Thus, I give Brian the benefot of the doubt.
