Well, it's nice to be perceived as the queen of something, lol, but I know folks who are better at it than I am!

So, they added another $4 to the already way too expensive $750 for Mick's VIP?

LMAO! Good grief.

FLR 1 so on Lindsey's side. I'm not sure how many seats are in each section? I think it's gonna be in the middle there.

i'm just here to report that front row platinums just showed up for DC - $1850 each.

that convinced me that the decision to skip this tour was a good one.

they already made, before the regular sale, just on platinum tickets, more than on whole venues last year, probably. there were at least 80 pairs of platinum tickets for DC sold so far, none of them below $700.

i'm looking for throwing up icon.

This is why I bought my VIP ticket for the San Diego show--which I was not going to do for all the reasons discussed on here. After seeing the platinum prices for So. Cal., I went for it. This market sells out quickly and now it looks like all the VIPs have been sold out (unless there are some being held back). Despite the ridiculous cost, I'm looking at it as my one and only opportunity to see the band this close and to go to a m&g. It's also the only concert I'll go to this year. Can't wait!

I'm sure they will have Platinum seats for the general sale

Thumbs up Some food for thought regarding the VIP tickets

As most people know Cher is currently on tour. For this tour Cher is selling VIP tickets and they range in price from $250-550 a ticket in Ottawa. They had them on sale since last Nov/Dec when regular tickets went on sale. They clearly did not sell as they were still trying to sell them as late as earlier this month while offering up only nosebleed seats in the 300 level or as late as last night 27th row on the floor (even after last week saying when I looked there was nothjing on the floor available). Tonight my brother got 4 seats in the 7th row of the floow for the regular price of $131.00 plus charges.It looks like they dropped today and the show is next Sat. I suspect if those VIP tickets did not sell then the VIP tickets and Platinum seats for the Ottawa Fleetwood Mac will not sell either.

I held out telling myself tjhose tickets would drop and I was right. Right now in Ottawa if you want to sit in the front row of section B for FM it is $995 a ticket through platinum seating and if you buy Micks VIP you can get 4th row Section B for $750. I know Oct is a long time away but I think these will not sell and the prices will be lowered. Cher is still a pretty big draw and her VIP tickets did not sell so clearly if Ottawa concertgoers will not pay her prices I doubt they will pay twice that for Fleetwood Mac.

Yeah not sure, the extra 4 must've been a processing or Ticketmaster fee? I feel like their fees are usually much more than 4 dollars though.

Frankly, the Cher VIP packages designed for her current tour are actually pretty lame. No meet N greet...no special tours and no Q&A. Here's a site that has broken down the various Cher VIP type tickets: http://tulsa.backpage.com/TicketsFor...-sales/6948147

Bruno Mars is touring now too and good luck with his show. Pricey, pricey for tickets and and his top VIP package is $500. Even those tickets are not front row...just lower tiers.

Bruno Mars VIP Packages

PREMIUM RESERVED SEAT AND VIP PARTY PACKAGE - $500*
- 1x Lower Tier Reserved Seat ticket - front 15 rows of best two sections
- One hour pre-show VIP Party - Cocktails and Canapes, themed private function room
- Special guest appearance by band member at pre-show party to toast and welcome the guests
- Limited edition venue-specific poster
- Merchandise pack
- VIP laminate
- On-site staff and escort to seats
- NB: the guest appearance by a band member/s does not involve a meet and greet or autograph opportunity

EARLY ENTRY VIP PACKAGE - $350*
- 1x General Admission standing ticket
- Early Entry to arena floor (before general doors open)
- Limited edition venue-specific poster
- Merchandise pack
- VIP Laminate
- On-site staff and escort to early entry point

PREMIUM RESERVED SEAT AND POSTER PACKAGE - $300*
- 1x Lower Tier Reserved Seat ticket
- Limited edition venue-specific poster
- Merchandise pack
- On-site staff

*Please note: Transaction fees, processing fees and other charges may apply.

I think the Mick Fleetwood VIP is priced to current market demands.

Has anyone done the VIP before? Anyone think we have a chance of meeting any of the other members? Maybe Mick could be coerced into bringing Chris or Lindsey out? Wishful thinking I guess!

yup. although Lindsey was still out on the stage after the soundcheck when one of the groups was brought in for a m&g last year, at one of the northwest area shows. as far as we heard, that was the only time.
