    I just had my little rant about Ticketmaster 2 days ago in the November dates topic---don't even get me started again!!! So glad Irv gets a little more of my money--I'm sure he needs it!

    Something occurred to me today - do you think this means that the Eagles will now refuse to play venues that don't use Ticketmaster?

    I hope not. I detest strong-arm efforts designed to turn an entity that already has a 90%+ dominance into an out-and-out 100% monopoly.

    That said, if Irving works to stop the abuses of Ticketmaster, he'll be my hero!

    Amen!!! They really are ridiculous when it comes to buying tickets from them. There is no way they go about it fairly when you can start trying to get tickets the minute they go on sale and all you pull up are in the rafters!!!

    Of course, Irving is making changes to the way we purchase tickets for all touring performers. Robin Williams is coming to Birmingham this spring, and I just received this email saying "because you have previously purchased VIP tickets through Ticketmaster, here is a special offer" for VIP seats to see him:

    Robin Williams Meet and Greet Package

    - One reserved ticket located within the first 5 rows of the stage*
    - Exclusive Meet and Greet with Robin Williams
    - Personal Photograph with Robin Williams
    - Autographed 8X10 photo
    - Official Meet and Greet Laminate
    - Exclusive Robin Williams Tour Shirt
    - $25 coupon for use in the official Robin Williams online store

    The price? $437.50. Not $425 or $450, but $437.50??

    This DOES include face contact, actually meeting Robin, something that the Eagles do not do of course (YET, anyway).

    The next level down (4-Star) costs $212.50.

    Right now, I'm trying to purchase Fleetwood Mac tickets. Me and two of my friends, on separate computers, all getting in the second it began - and the best we can do is back of the floor.

    But if you look at Ticketmaster Premium seating, they've got stuff all up in the front.

    Yeah, it's a total racket.

    Maybe Irving hasn't gotten around to changing that aspect yet.

    Oh, but here's something - you can meet Mick Fleetwood for an extra 200 dollars on top of your 5-star package. Better than paying $1000 and not getting to meet the guys, as folks had to do for the Eagles in NYC and thereabouts!

    Wow. I'd be a dwarf compared to Mick.
