Fleetwood Mac 2013 North American Tour

[PVH5150]

They were the same exact prices on the 2009 tour. I'm surprised they didn't go up.

That doesn't make it right. Like I said, I'm almost always the guy to snap up the best tickets without thinking twice about the price but this is fucking ridiculous. $100 to sit in the front row of the nosebleeds? Hell, I almost bought it but then I realized I've been 5 feet away from Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Black Sabbath for less than that so I said fuck it.

I have no problem with them charging 170 bucks for floor seats or even the better 100 level seats but there is no way to justify 200 level seats being $170 and half the nosebleeds being $100. That's just sick greed on the promoters and managers end, especially given the fact that a lot of people still have it rough due to the economic situation.

I hope tickets sell horribly and the end up either dropping the price (which they did for the Hollywood Bowl show, even though close seats are still over $250) or upgrading a shit-ton of people on show day.

Unless they are unbelievably good live I think this will be the one and only Fleetwood Mac concert I ever attend.

Oh, I got tickets for my mom and I and we're down in the 4th row on the first level above the floor. They're her favorite band and I don't think she's ever seen them that close before so, I can't complain. :p

Didn't say it was right, just pointed out that they didn't go up after a 4 year break.

Even if it sells well, 99% of the time Ticketmaster releases side-stage seats in the loge during the final few days leading up to a concert. I got 4th row on Alex's side of the stage when I saw Rush this past September for face value on the day of the show, and up until the day of the show, you couldn't get any tickets on Ticketmaster.

Did anyone notice that they had a presale for AARP members?

[IrritatedTrout]

Yeah.
